Our Verdict
We saw this same bonus being offered in branch earlier this year. The standard bonus on this card is $150 + $25. I have no idea how they decide who is qualified for this offer and who isn’t as I’ve heard reports of people with Chase Private Client status getting the offer, but I’ve also heard of people without getting it. If you’ve applied for the card in branch in the last 90 days it’s worth asking to see if they will match you to this bonus. If you’re going in branch for the $300 checking & $200 savings bonus it might be worth asking for any pre-qualified offers as these bypass the 5/24 rule and maybe you’ll get targeted for this offer as well. I wonder if this means that the 70,00 Chase Sapphire Preferred offer is also making a come back.
Hat tip to reader George
I want to a branch today and they said this offer is only for select Chase Private Client customers only
not cpc, waaaaaay over 5/24 (more like 12 YTD alone). went to local chase branch, Chase Freedom Unlimited showed up as pre-approved. Applied, got 7-10 day notice. realised I had frozen credit reports because of equifax. unfroze experian. called chase recon an hour later when I got home. Chase Freedom Unlimited was then approved
30k offer?
yes.
Thanks
DP. Applied thru referral link last month. SM for bonus match and was asked to provide a targeted email with my name on it otherwise no.
Received 30k offer on Chase Freedom Unlimited.
11/24. 1/30 from United MPE. Have 3 chase cards, Freedom, CSP (converted to regular Sapphire), & MPE. Credit scores 720-720
Applied in LA county and application went to pending. Not a CPC client. No open Chase checking accounts.
Am CPC. Was not targeted
Bummer. I got this about a month ago when I double dipped on my last 5/24 spot.
Ty. I’ll be checking this out! Is it better fo downgrade my husband’s Reserve to a Freedom Unlimited or Freedom?
Is it possible to product change from Freedom Unlimited to Freedom?
I am assuming product change does not increase your count towards 5/24?
Is it also possible to downgrade a Sapphire reserve to Freedom?
Yes it is possible and no it doesn’t change your count.
I had received the $150 bonus. Wish I had waited, >_< but I hadn’t gotten a bonus in A long time. My only question to d.o.c. is, do I need both CF and FU? I really want to close one of them to avoid financial clutter.
No annual fee, why not leave them open?
Chase is the best for no-games bonuses. #Love
