The Chase Freedom card is one of my favorites for a couple of reasons. Â First off, it doesn’t carry an annual fee, so it is a card that can stay in your wallet and increase the average age of your accounts on your credit report. Â Also, the points earned on the card can be transferred to a Chase premium card such as the Sapphire Preferred or Ink Bold and then onto travel partners such as Hyatt and United. Â Lastly, each quarter the Freedom card has bonus categories that give 5x points per dollar spent up to $1500 per quarter.
Chase has just announced what those bonus categories will be for 2014. Â Here is how it looks.
        Quarter 1: Gas stations, movie theaters, Starbucks stores
        Quarter 2: Restaurants, Lowes Home Improvement Stores
        Quarter 3: Gas Stations, Kohls
        Quarter 4: Amazon.com, Zappos.com, Select Department Stores
Right now the Chase Freedom card is offering $200 cash back or 20,000 Ultimate Rewards points (If you have a card eligible for transfers like mentioned before) after spending $500 in the first three months after getting the card. Â This is a card I think everyone should have in their wallet and one I keep in mine! Â You can apply directly from Chase here.
