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.

    You can get 20,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points ($200 cash back) after spending $500 in the first 3 months on the Chase Freedom card.

    I wrote earlier that the spending on the Chase Sapphire Preferred may increase and that the Chase Freedom may have a higher sign-up bonus.  Looks like the minimum spending on the Chase Sapphire Preferred has increased by $1,000 to $4,000 within 3 months.  But the Chase Freedom now has an increased sign-up bonus!

    The sign-up bonus is normally 10,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points ($100 cash back).  So this is a good deal!

    20,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards Points on Chase Freedom

    Link:   Chase Freedom

    You can get 20,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points on the Chase Freedom after spending $500 in the first 3 months.

    The Chase Freedom is 1 of my favorite cards because it’s a no annual fee card.  So you can build a long relationship with Chase (which has the best miles and points cards) and increase your credit score.

    And every quarter, you can earn 5X Chase Ultimate Rewards points per $1 spent up to a maximum of $1,500 per quarter at bonus categories.

    So you can earn an additional 30,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points per year (7,500 Chase Ultimate Rewards points per quarter X 4 quarters in a year) or $300 cash back if you spend $1,500 each quarter in bonus categories.

    This quarter you can earn 5X Chase Ultimate Rewards points at Amazon, Zappos, and select department stores.
