The 5% categories for the Chase Freedom and Freedom Flex cards have been revealed:
- Gas Stations – Gas is a nice category – with the high gas prices going on it might even be possible for some people to max out with that alone. There are also some convenience stores like 7-Eleven and others which might count as gas.
- Those who have the 5x Gas offer from a signup bonus should be eligible to get 9x total during Q3 2022.
- Car Rental Agencies – Car rentals could be useful for summer vacation rentals.
- Movie Theaters
- Select Live Entertainment- The entertainment options will be useful as well, we’ll know more on what counts there when it gets formally released tomorrow.
These categories will be live for activation tomorrow, 6/15, and are already showing online in the Ultimate Rewards dashboard after you log into your Chase account.
Also a reminder now to max out your Q2 2022 Freedom $1,500 allotment. I loaded up my Amazon balance (that’s our affiliate link) some and I’ll probably still top off more before the month is over. Today (6/14/22) is also the last day to activate the Q2 2022 categories if you haven’t already.
Which gas stations have Amazon gift cards and no credit card fees on transactions?
I used Freedom at Costco gas yesterday and I couldn’t use it even Costco gas is on the merchant list! I called customer service but their answer was “maybe some location wont’t accept it”. 🙁 I know we can’t use Mastercard at Costco and I was wondering maybe I could use only this July to September. Is there anybody who was able to use Freedom at Costco gas?
I paid $100 of my upcoming Disney World trip and only got 1X on Freedom. Does anyone know if it only counts for purchases inside the park?
I got 5x purchasing WDW tickets online
I paid towards my trip and it also showed up as a hotel charge. My trip is a hotel/ticket package. It’s possible that you have to be purchasing just tickets for it to count as live entertainment.
I logged into my Chase.com account and went to UR dashboard.
Nothing to activate for Q3.
It’s showing but not yet able to be activated. Try again in a few hours.
Does fast DC chargers (Tesla supercharger, Electrify America, EVgo, etc.) count as gas?
Wells Fargo Propel counts for 3X at Tesla Superchargers (and ialso qualifies for the extra 15X on gas promos) if you have it. Citi Custom Cash also pays out 5% for EV charging. Not sure about the CFF but would love to know if it does!
I only know U.S. Bank and Wells Fargo who counts chargers as “gas”, no other bank.
Shouldn’t have much trouble maxing out the offer with organic spend at the pump….
Anyone else here excited for 5x to max out some 529 contributions? Buying those Gift of College cards at gas stations for $5.95 activation fee for $500, then redeeming into a 529 account?
2 freedom cards… $1500 * 2 = $3k into a 529, pay $5.95*6 = $35.70, get 15k UR points – I’d say that’s a good “spend”>>?

Looks like Cumberland Farms btw. Regional and not available in most of US.

yeah Cumberland Farms in Northeast, finally something that we have that midwest doesn’t….
Too bad there wasn’t an easy way to do this for people/churn it.. But it’s been a nice bonus since I started doing it December last year.
Most Exxon Mobil / 7-Eleven stores sell SecureSpend Visa’s up to $500, which is one of the only cards that still works at Kroger to buy money orders without multiple swipes. Most cards usually have a $99 per swipe limit everywhere except for a few grocery store chains. They may also work at Walmart but I’ve never tried, so I don’t have any data points. I also liquidate these at other stores that I won’t name because they are one of my last options to liquidate these cards.
Does Costco code as gas? TY
I think Costco gas codes as gas, need DPs though. You’d also need to have the OG Freedom, which is a Visa
All pumps must code as “fuel dispenser”
No matter where, if you pay at the pump, it should come up correctly
Depends what type of gas you want to produce
I have used the original Chase Freedom at Costco in the past and it has come up for 5%. It so happens that I’ll be heading there today after work to tank up the SUV :-/
god bless remote work
