Freedom:

The additional 4% Cash Back rewards will appear on your billing statement in a separate line from the base 1% Cash Back rewards.

The additional 3.5% Cash Back rewards will appear on your billing statement in a separate line from the base 1.5% Cash Back rewards.

Our Verdict

Same as the $200 offer available online, this is just an extra $50 when applying in branch. Definitely worth doing if you were already considering the $200 offer. Will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses. For more details on this offer I’d recommend reading the original $200 offer post.
