Our Verdict
Multiple Slickdeals members and Reddit members report getting this offer via email today, apparently a batch targeted offer was sent out. Interesting, there are also recent reports there of people who got the same $325 offer in-branch (probably as a preapproved offer).
The in-branch offer isn’t something new – we’ve posted about it multiple times before – but still good to know that it’s showing up for some. The online $325 offer is a new thing, as far as I can recall, but it’ll only work for those targeted.
Just remember that the online offer probably won’t bypass 5/24. The in-branch offer should bypass it if it’s a preapproval.
If you signed up for the Freedom Unlimited within the past 90 days and were targeted for this offer, you should be able to get a match on the higher bonus. Check out lots of other important Things to Know about apply for Chase cards in this post.
I am little confused with Chase’s new rules about product in the same category!
If i am preapproved in branch for 30k offer, can I get that even if I have a regular freedom. Not going to try without preapproval as I am over 5/24
got another email today from Chase with $300 promo for Freedom Unlimited.
probably go for it next week
If you plan on getting this card and the $150 bonus after $500 spend in the first three months, you can use my referral code

If you do, you get the same bonus and I get $100.
I was able to open this card (Freedom Unlimited) and Chase Freedom yesterday. The Freedom Card has the same sign up bonus ($150 after $500 in spend in the first three months). I also have a referral link for that card, as well.
[edited]
Any use of either referral link is greatly appreciated.
I don’t know if you will have problems opening both cards on the same day, but I had both offers in my online banking with Chase but was unable to access the Freedom offer after being approved for the Freedom Unlimited offer. I was able to access the Freedom offer only after signing in through a private window with Firefox. Something similar might work if you are unable to open both either via referral links or targeted offers.
Also, both cards were approved with only one HP by Chase.
Targeted by the offer in email. $300+$25. Applied but rejected saying too many accounts in past 2 years
I am over 5/24
After the rejection, I still can see the $150 offer in online account. Went to the branch today. They found the $300 offer for me. Applied again and approved
Applied for Chase Ink Preferred in branch with account rep in late May under assumption it would bypass 5/24 but was rejected due to 5/24. Turns out I applied 1 month too early. Reapplied online today and was approved.
I hope they will match in branch offer of 100K points and waiver of first-yr ann fee vs online offer of 80K and no ann fee waiver. Waiting for card so I can send them in-app msg since the time between both applications was just 6 weeks apart. FYI- i can’t get a hold of the inbranch acct rep. She never return my calls or emails.
Are u under 5/24 now?
So my wife who is over 5/24 is targeted for this offer…. but…. she also has the “selected for you” $150 Freedom Unlimited offer…
So…
Anyone know if you apply for a targeted $300 offer… and have a selected for you offer in your account… but….. you’re over 5/24 if you would be approved… LOLL
Or is it better to apply for the selected for you offer and get matched to it?
Hrm, this is a tricky one! I don’t know what’s best to be honest but keep me updated with whatever you decide to do.
Doc, could you please upload the full email offer? not cropped image.
Thanks!
I don’t have the full e-mail offer, you trying to get matched?
I know I am still hoping to get matched on this. Any way to get matched if you weren’t targeted but are within 90 days of your Chase FU $150 bonus? Thanks!
Try it and see what they say
Good call! Sadly the CSR requested I send them a copy of my email for the offer. It’s a no go on the match without an email! Thanks again for all of your hard work.
Targeted and Signed up today – I was waiting for this offer to sign up for Chase Freedom. Got nice CL and for first 15 months there will 0% APR on purchases.
I am having chase freedom for a while, now I was targeted for Chase FU $300. If I get FU, is it considered as product migration?
I have recently opened Chase Checking and Savings, would they fall in 5/24 category?
a chase checking and savings would not fall into 5/24 category. only credit cards fall into this category.
also, if i understand your question correctly: if you apply and are approved for a chase FU, then you will have 2 cards: both a chase freedom and a chase FU.
I signed up for the card about a month ago and was targeted for the $300 promotion via email, so I tried calling chase if I can get a match for the promotion but was rejected.
