Our Verdict
We talked about if it makes sense to complete this product change in some detail here. The TL;DR (too long; didn’t read) is that for most people this product conversion isn’t a good deal. I’d say that argument holds true for people even with this $50 bonus (although you might be able to complete this product change and then get it back to a regular Chase Freedom using this trick).
This change makes most sense for people that don’t really use the 5% categories on the Chase Freedom, value Chase Ultimate Rewards highly and also have a lot of unbonused spend.
