WHY WE LIKE IT?

Chase Freedom Unlimited®

The Chase Freedom Unlimited® is a great deal for consumers — especially for those who already have the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card or Chase Sapphire Reserve®. It offers a compelling combination of valuable rewards, flexible redemption options, 0% intro APR on purchases and Balance Transfers for 15 months, and a sign-up bonus that’s worth far more than most cash-back cards offer — all for an annual fee of $0.

As a cash-back card, the Chase Freedom Unlimited® delivers a great treat for new cardholders followed by high ongoing value at a low cost. Earn an additional 1.5% cash back on everything you buy (on up to $20,000 spent in the first year) - worth up to $300 cash back! Plus, the bonus rewards categories are useful and lucrative. With 3% cash back on dining at restaurants and drugstores, you could spend $3,000 a year combined in those categories and earn $90 annually. With 5% back on travel purchased through Chase Ultimate Rewards®, you could get $300 back on travel costing $6,000, for example. And, there's no minimum to redeem for cash back; cash back rewards do not expire as long as your account is open.
