Summary
Chase’s Freedom Unlimited and Freedom Flex credit cards offer no annual fees and valuable earning rates. The Freedom Unlimited is currently offering an elevated welcome bonus of $250 after spending $500 on purchases within the first three months, available online until April 30 at 9 a.m. EDT. Both cards can earn cash back or fully transferable Chase Ultimate Rewards points when combined with select Chase cards. The cards have different earning rates, with the Freedom Unlimited offering 3% cash back on dining and 1.5% cash back on everything else, and the Freedom Flex offering 5% cash back on rotating categories each quarter and 1% cash back on all other purchases.
Our Reading
The destination is rediscovered.
Chase’s Freedom Unlimited and Freedom Flex credit cards offer a rediscovered way to earn rewards with no annual fees. The Freedom Unlimited’s elevated welcome bonus is a limited-time offer, and both cards have valuable earning rates. The Freedom Flex’s rotating categories and the Freedom Unlimited’s 3% cash back on dining make them a powerful duo for everyday spending. However, the cards impose foreign transaction fees, and applicants must comply with Chase’s 5/24 rule and other application restrictions.
The escape is carefully planned with the right combination of Chase cards, allowing cardholders to turn their cash back into fully transferable Ultimate Rewards points.
Ultimately, the Freedom Unlimited and Freedom Flex are worth a look to boost everyday spending, but the Freedom Unlimited’s elevated offer will no longer be available online after April 30 at 9 a.m. EDT.
And, of course, the ultimate flexibility comes with a 2.05-cent valuation of Chase points, making every purchase a strategic move in the points game.
