Sunset, How well does the Freedom Card work in practice re: the rotating categories that earn 5%? I saw a promotion that 5% is offered on Groceries, which would be valuable to me, but Groceries are only for the first year or something. Do you find the other categories to be worthwhile things you actually buy? Thanks.
I have the Freedom card, I notice on chase.com, they offer 2 other freedom cards. The Freedom flex seems to be the one similar to what I have, only better with the grocery offer for 1 year.
Every 3 months, they send me an email (or on login to account) to activate the 5% category. They do seem to repeat the categories every year.
They are pretty expansive in the list they provide about what qualifies per category, and you can see the listing.
I find it useful, I just ensure that I use that card for whichever category is 5%.
Their cashing in the points is pretty decent, before I had the sapphire card, I'd cash in for statement credit , and sometimes they have gift cards on sale for 10->15% off, which was a better value.
