We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Folks with the Chase Freedom or Discover it card still have time to earn 5% cash back or 5X bonus points in this quarter’s bonus categories!

    Earn 5% Cash Back Through September 30, 2016, When You Shop at Amazon Using the Discover it Card!

    I’ll show you where you can earn 5% cash back or a 5X bonus through September 30, 2016!

    Earn a Bonus Through the End of the Month With These Cards!

    Chase Freedom

    Link:   Activate the Chase Freedom Bonus

    If you activated your Chase Freedom card’s 3rd quarter bonus, you can earn 5X Chase Ultimate Rewards points on up to $1,500 in spending at restaurants & wholesale clubs (like Costco, Sam’s Club, and BJ’s) through September 30, 2016. 

    Note:  Wholesale club purchases like gas, fuel, or service purchases like travel, insurance, cell phones, and home improvement do NOT qualify as 5X bonus point purchases.

    You’ll be able to earn 5X Ultimate Rewards points at wholesale clubs through December 31, 2016, too.  But you’ll need to activate the 4th quarter bonus!

    Here are 5 ways you can earn the maximum number of points this quarter.

    I always keep the Chase Freedom card in my wallet.  Because it’s easy to earn a lot of Ultimate Rewards points or cash back on purchases I’d probably make anyway.

    And if you also have the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Ink Plus, or Ink Bold (no longer available) card, you can transfer your Chase Ultimate Rewards points to airline and hotel partners for Big Travel!

    Discover it

    Link:   Discover it

    Through September 30, 2016, folks with the Discover it card can earn 5% cash back on up to $1,500 in spending at Amazon and home improvement stores, when you activate the bonus.

    And even better, Discover will automatically match all the cash back you earn dollar for dollar at the end of your first year of card membership, for new cardmembers only.

    So new cardholders can effectively earn 10% cash back on bonus category spending!

    I like that you can earn 5% cash back at Amazon on items like gift cards, Amazon Fresh purchases, and items from 3rd party sellers.  This makes it easier to get the maximum amount of cash back!
