Our Verdict
This is the highest this sign up bonus goes, so I’d recommend jumping on this offer if you’re considering a Chase Freedom (this is even more true if you know somebody who can refer you, that way you can split the $50 referral bonus as well). I think everybody should have a Chase Freedom card, there is no annual fee and it earns 5% cash back in rotating categories that can be extremely useful. This bonus is offered semi regularly, it was last offered back in November of last year (and November again the previous year)
Chase UR points are not transferable to Chase travel partners unless you have one of their premium cards: Chase Ink Plus, Chase Ink Bold (discontinued) or Chase Sapphire Preferred.
Feel free to share your referral links in the comments below. If you’re thinking of signing up for this bonus, try to use somebodies link that you know (and get them to split the referral bonus with you) or use somebodies link in the comments that you’ve found helpful in the past.
