Starting at 18% APR? Ouch.

 

[Ricochet]

Too bad for existing members I guess. I been with Chase for many years.

pay it off every month and it doesn't matter

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

Signing up this time. Need to build some more credit.

 

[shelaby]

yea i pay off all my CC every month so the APR isnt a big deal for me

and I use the RewardsMall to get extra % off online purchases at various shops. This plus AddItUp from BofA ensures i get extra discounts on my online purchases

If you have nothing positive to add, stay out of the thread.

This deal works just fine all you have to do is look at the posts below yours. I did this myself just last year and I got my 300.00 with a couple weeks so your comment is nonsense

when i did the 200$ back in september, they didnt even wait the full 3 months...as soon as i hit 500$ they credited my account with 20,000 points (200$)

Same here, I've grabbed at least $5000 from these deals in the last few years. Very easy money, the only thing is not to ding your credit too much, I try not to go over 3-4 times per year.

Do you cancel the cards after words or just zero out the balance and keep them around?

This is sounding like a cheap video card upgrade to me lol.

Cancel most of them, because usually you have to wait at least 6 month to qualify for the promotion again. Can't do this Chase deal, yet.

BTW, checkout fatwallet.com/finance if you're interested in these kind of deals.

Is there a minimum amount of time you have to hold this card or anything like that? Surely JP Morgue wouldn't essentially give me a $300 rebate on one charge.

Tempting offer if they do.

 

[gevorg]

Yes they will, the only minimum is the $500 in transaction(s) in the first 3 months of getting the card. Once you meet that, then the bonus usually comes in a matter of weeks. The idea is to keep you as a regular CC user, and you might as well do if they're better than what you're using now.

Thanks in for 1

Anyone know if you can apply for two cards per household?? Like husband/wife??

We've been using the Amex Blue Cash for 7 years and get about $350 back a year but I wouldn't mind getting $300-$600 for the vacation fund just for spending a few dollars I would be anyway.

yes you can . my wife and I have two of these cards.

discover is also good as is BOA

JUST REMEMBER!!!

Credit card rebates are great if you pay cards off in full each month.

BUT bad if you carry a balance.

 

[zanemoseley]

Well just got 2 cards, one for me and one for the wife. We pay our bill in full every month so no worries there. With any luck we'll get $600 toward a vacation.

 

[allenk09]

I racked up $3000 in one month on a chase freedom card, paid it all back over a few months and closed my card. I have screenshots and receipts that it's all paid off and cancelled, and Chase has collectors after me. Ridiculous. Never will I do anything again with Chase.

Starting at 18% APR? Ouch.

Why would anyone give a crap about the APR on a credit card?

Ditto

This is AWESOME!

Current Chase customer, so the app was filled in with my current info.

I have a Chase Slate and Amazon card already, but the $300 cashback is just too good an offer, especially since I'm remodeling my master bath.

Thanks OP.

 

[PokerGuy]

I got this deal last year. No hassles at all, spent over $500 over the first couple of months, got 30,000 points ($300) added as available rewards and credited it to my account.

If you plan on ever carrying a balance, you're going to get royally screwed with any of the major cash back cards. If you pay the full balance each month, it's great.

 

[TheKub]

If I got this card and immediately spent $500 at newegg is it likely that I would get the credit before I needed to pay the initial bill?

Nice, I have a Chase Southwest and Amazon card. Never had a Freedom card before, I assume I will still be eligible for this deal?

Can you use it immediately after applying, or do you have to wait for the physical card to arrive in the mail?
