News: Chase Freedom Categories for January Unveiled - Credit-Land.com

With the Chase Freedom credit people earn 5% cash back in three bonus areas per quarter, and they have just announced the offerings for the next quarter. Cardholders will earn enhanced rewards when they pull up to the gas station, make purchases at the drug store or pay a toll with their credit card. These reward categories are in play starting on Jan. 1, 2019 and they end on Mar. 31, 2019.

Cardholders earn the 5% back on up to $1,500 worth of combined purchases during the quarter. "Whether for the daily commute or a weekend getaway, Chase Freedom is helping cardmembers earn more cash back as they travel during the quarter," said BJ Mahoney, General Manager of Chase Freedom.

"We're also boosting rewards when they're buying those necessities and maybe more at a drugstore," he added.

In order to earn the 5% cash back, cardholders must activate the categories via the website.
