    Lightbulb Chase Freedom 3x points promo for travel

    I have the Chase Freedom card and I got a notice in the mail saying I'll get an extra 3% on travel - airfare, hotel, car rentals from August 15 through October 9th. Normally you can still get 3% on travel if it is one of the three categories you spend the most on that month. But I guess this is in addition to that because it says it won't count against your three 3% categories.

    "You'll continue to earn triple points or 3% cash back at the top three everyday places where you spend the most each month."

    It says you can get up to 10,000 bonus points ($100) with this promo and it won't count against your annual earnings cap.

    Just wanted to let everyone that has the Chase Freedom know about this.
    Disclosure: I am a moderator/paid staff of this site, which does have advertising relationships with some credit cards that are discussed. Regardless, anything I say is my honest opinion.

    Current Cards:     American Express: Blue Cash, Simply Cash Bank of America: WorldPoints Platinum Plus Chase: Amazon, British Airways, Cash Plus Rewards, Freedom, Ink Cash Citi: Thank You Premier, Dividend Platinum Select Discover: More
    Primary Everyday Card: American Express Blue Cash
    Primary Travel Card: Citi Thank You Premier

    Default Rewards change on Chase Freedom

    The Chase Freedom is a popular credit card which previously gave 3% cashback on whatever 3 categories you spent the most on.

    Recently they have scaled back there reward to only give 1% on most purchases and you will only receive a 3% reward on whatever promotional categories they are pushing at the time.

    When Chase cut back cashback on their Cash Plus Rewards card years back I stopped using it. I'd recommend you do the same with the Chase Freedom. The new rewards structure is no longer lucrative.
