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.

Now Available Online: Freedom Unlimited Card With 1.5X Points Everywhere

Signing up for credit cards through partner links earns us a commission. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page. Here’s our full advertising policy: How we make money.

Update:   One or more card offers in this post are no longer available.  Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.

Via Miles to Memories, Chase has activated the online application for the Chase Freedom Unlimited ahead of schedule.  The card is interesting because it offers 1.5% cash back or 1.5 Chase Ultimate Rewards points per $1 on all purchases.

It does NOT have rotating 5X categories like the regular Freedom card.

But like the Freedom, it has no annual fee and the same sign-up bonus of 15,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points ($150) after you spend $500 within the 1st 3 months of opening your account.

Earn 1.5X Chase Ultimate Rewards Points on Purchases, Then Move the Points to Your Chase Sapphire Preferred, Ink Plus, or Ink Bold Card. From There You Can Transfer to Partners Like United Airlines to Fly on Star Alliance Airlines Such as This Lufthansa Business Class Flight Emily Took Home From Paris

Until now, the Freedom Unlimited was only available in Chase branches.

Considering the Freedom Unlimited?

See my full review of the Freedom Unlimited where I explain:

In short, many of y’all may do better asking Chase to switch 1 of your current Chase cards that you’re not using much to the Freedom Unlimited.  You will NOT be eligible for the sign-up bonus, but it won’t count as opening a new card.

Because Chase has tightened their application rules.  If you’ve opened ~5 or more cards from any bank in the past 24 months, it’s unlikely you’ll be approved for new Chase cards.

Note:   You can have both the Freedom and Freedom Unlimited cards, because they’re different card products.

My favorite aspect of the Freedom Unlimited is that you can send the Chase Ultimate Rewards points to your Chase Sapphire Preferred, Ink Plus, or Ink Bold, and then to Chase’s travel partners.

For Big Travel With Small Money, Skip the 1.5% Cash Back. Instead Move Your Points to the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Ink Plus, or Ink Bold. That Allows You to Transfer to Great Partners Like Southwest, Hyatt, and United Airlines
