Chase Freedom 2018 Calendar

Chase Freedom 2018 Calendar

One of the better no annual fee cards in my opinion is the Chase Freedom. I highly value Ultimate Rewards points and the Freedom comes with no annual fee and allows me to earn 5X points in rotating categories each quarter on up to $1,500 in spend. For example, in this quarter (Jan – Mar) I am earning 5X points on all payments through mobile wallets, gas stations and internet/cable. Hopefully most of you have already maximized the spending for this quarter, or are well on your way to complete it.

April– June, 2018: Grocery Stores, Chase Pay & Paypal

  • Grocery Stores category includes most grocery stores and supermarkets. Walmart and Target is excluded.

  • Chase Pay includes purchases made using your Freedom card with your Chase Pay digital wallet during check out. Eligible purchases only qualify for a total of 5% Cash Back rewards; purchases made using Chase Pay at other current 5% quarterly categories will be awarded a total of 5% Cash Back rewards on up to $1500 in combined purchases.

  • PayPal includes purchases made using your Freedom card with your PayPal during check out. Eligible purchases only qualify for a total of 5% Cash Back rewards; purchases made using Chase Pay at other current 5% quarterly categories will be awarded a total of 5% Cash Back rewards on up to $1500 in combined purchases.

Conclusion

This should be an easy quarter to maximize will grocery stores and Chase Pay and PayPal included. Just keep in mind that it will be 5% total, so if you use your mobile wallet at a gas station for example, you will not earn 10%.

  1. What does that mean: “use Freedom card with your Paypal card at checkout?” Isn’t it a choice – use Paypal OR a credit card?
