  • Chase is offering an additional bonus on the Chase Freedom Flex and Chase Freedom Unlimited cards. You can currently get the standard $250 sign up bonus after $500 in spend and in additional the card will earn 5% cashback on all grocery store purchases in the first year up to $12,000 in spend

Card Details

The Fine Print

Freedom:

  • 5% Back in the grocery store category (excluding Walmart and Target) until the earlier of the end of your first 12 months or first $12,000 spent: You’ll earn 5% Cash Back rewards total for each $1 spent on purchases in the grocery store category (excluding Walmart and Target) made within your first 12 months from account opening, or until you reach $12,000 in grocery store purchases, whichever occurs first (4% additional Cash Back rewards on top of the 1% Cash Back rewards earned on each purchase). The additional 4% Cash Back rewards will appear on your billing statement in a separate line from the base 1% Cash Back rewards.

Freedom Unlimited:

  • 5% Cash Back in the grocery store category (excluding Walmart and Target) until the earlier of the end of your first 12 months or first $12,000 spent: You’ll earn 5% Cash Back rewards total for each $1 spent on purchases in the grocery store category (excluding Walmart and Target) made within your first 12 months from account opening, or until you reach $12,000 in grocery store purchases, whichever occurs first (3.5% additional Cash Back rewards on top of the 1.5% Cash Back rewards earned on each purchase). 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.

$250 signup bonus for Freedom Unlimited still works, had to try two different branches before someone could properly help me. The first branch was busy and I had no appiontment. Very little info on this bonus online so I was not sure if still available

Where offers the information for new CFF card about 5% cash back on grocery store purchases (not including Target® or Walmart® purchases) on up to $12,000 spent in the first year?

Is this offer still valid? Thinking about dropping by my local Chase branch to see if this offer is available.

I also got this $250 in-branch offer. It seemed my banker did not have any clues on this special offer, but she was nice to help me locate it.

If you get this card, check after your first month to make sure you actually got the grocery bonus. Along with others, I got screwed out of the advertised grocery bonus on the Freedom last year. Customer service provided no explanation and wouldn’t budge.

I applied online, but it advertised the grocery bonus at the application link. I hadn’t even known about it before that. I’ve seen posts from other people who had similar experiences.

Is this CARD 24/5 restricted? I’ll raise hell if they say “You have opened cards in the past 3 months!” … but I will just be quiet and smile (and adjust my summer hat) if they say “you’re pre-approved for 2 cards today!” LOL

5/24 is a Chase policy so any Chase credit card is subject to 5/24.
