That’s also a great card. We struggle with determining which cards are “best” in many of these scenarios, but we tend to lean towards the Freedom because “rewards hackers” can often earn a lot more than 1.5% with it. In fact, most Freedom holders that I know will have two cards – one that pays more than 1% on base purchases (like the Capital One Cash), and then the Freedom to get 5% when the time is right.

We’ve got more info on the CapOne Cash here: http://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/2011/capital-cash-rewards-card-50-cash/

For those with excellent credit, it looks like Capitol One’s Cash Reward card gets you the most cash: 1% on all purchases (no limits or expirations) and at the end of every year a 50% bonus on the cash back you earned throughout the year. No annual fee. This beats cards that do a 1% on all purchases and 2-5% on various categories throughout the year.

The $200 deal is alive and well. Chase has never listed it on their own site, it’s only available through online channels like ours.

If you click the “Apply Now” link above, it will take you to the deal.
Hope that helps!

Chase Freedom appears to have changed their offer from $200 to $100. Unable to get to the Chase application screen via NerdWallet. Chase.com site said only $100.
