WILMINGTON, Del., March 15, 2024 — Today, Chase Freedom® announced its rotating quarterly categories for Q2, where Freedom and Freedom Flex cardmembers can take advantage of exciting new cash back rewards.

Chase Freedom cardmembers can earn 5% cash back on these three categories this quarter.

“For Chase Freedom and Freedom Flex cardmembers, it’s not just about earning rewards – but also about celebrating life’s experiences with family and friends,” said Brent Reinhard, General Manager of Chase Freedom. “Whether it's a trip to see the total solar eclipse, a celebratory graduation dinner or a Mother’s or Father’s Day gift, Chase Freedom is there to make life’s moments, both big and small, more rewarding. And this quarter we’re particularly excited to provide our Freedom Flex cardmembers the opportunity to stack it and cashback it on two categories where they already receive an elevated cash back earn.”

1.This quarter Freedom Flex cardmembers can stack 5% quarterly cash back on Chase Travel hotel purchases and 5% quarterly cash back on dining with their standard 5% cash back on Chase Travel purchases and standard 3% on dining. However, because both quarterly cash back and standard cash back are earned as additional cash back on top of the base 1% cash back earned on each purchase, the most cardmembers will earn is 9% cash back on Chase Travel hotel purchases (1% on every purchase + additional 4% on Chase Travel + quarterly additional 4% on Chase Travel hotel purchases) and 7% cash back on dining (1% on every purchase + additional 2% on dining + quarterly additional 4% on dining).
