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.

INSIDER SECRET: The window to meet your Chase credit card minimum spending requirement starts when you’re approved for the card — not when you receive it in the mail.

Today Chase made a handful of useful updates to its mobile banking app. The best of these improvements is the new account bonus spend tracker. It can be tricky to know how much more you need to spend to earn your sign-up bonus, because a card’s annual fee won’t count and if you return any purchases those won’t count, either.

Now you’ll know exactly when you’ve earned your bonus points, like I just did recently on my Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card.

Chase Credit Card App Updates

With this update you’ll be able to rearrange your account tiles however you like. If you’re a Southwest cardholder you’ll be able to see your Rapid Rewards balance in the Chase app.

Chase is also adding the ability to access your Chase Home Lending dashboard in the app (if you have a Chase mortgage) plus a couple of other minor changes.

The addition of a spending tracker is helpful and will save you the extra step of having to add up your purchases to figure out how close you are to earning a welcome offer.

Unfortunately, you still can’t send Chase a secure message through the app, which is a feature I’d like to see added in the future.
