Freedom 5% Q3 Category

One card in my wallet that I love is the Chase Freedom or Chase Freedom Flex. I have the old Freedom card before it was the Freedom Flex. Every quarter they have different categories that give you 5% back on up to $1,500 spent. However, if you have the Chase Sapphire Preferred or Reserve you can turn the Ultimate rewards points that you earned from your Freedom Unlimited or Freedom Flex and transfer them to partners.

Q3 Categories

As you can see above the categories are Gas Stations, EV Charging, Live Entertainment and Movie Theatres. My first thoughts are that this is a great category for the summer. If you have a roadtrip to the beach it can be a great time to use your Freedom Flex for gas on the way for a long drive. If you are stopping to get snacks you can rack up some points that way as well. I do not have any long roadtrips coming up but the movie theatres can be a great thing to do in the summer. Also select entertainment, if you have a baseball game you want to go to or any concerts that you have they you are waiting to buy tickets to this is a great way to add more Ultimate Rewards points in.

Final Thoughts

I personaly love the Chase Freedom Flex because I am always running out of Ultimate Rewards points becuase I love to use them. If you are thinking of picking up a Chase Freedom Flex to your wallet Chase is offering $200 back from $500 of spend in the first 3 months of account opening. That would turn into 20,000 Ultimate Rewards which could get you a free night in a hotel or a one way flight.
