While we’re all busy trying to hit the $1,500 in spend for this quarter’s bonus categories, Chase has announced all the bonus categories for 2015.
Chase Freedom 2015 Bonus Categories
January – March
- Grocery stores
- Movie theaters
- Starbucks
April – June
- Restaurants
- Bed Bath & Beyond
- H&M
- Overstock.com
July – September
- Gas stations
- “And more!”
October – December
- Amazon.com
- “And more!”
No surprises in any month. You’ll likely see Kohl’s in Q3 and Zappos & other department stores in Q4.
Activation for Q1 2015 will open December 15, 2014.
So there are not any groundbreaking opportunities for any serious manufactured spend or reselling, but I take this as good news. Chase hasn’t taken any bonus categories away next year.
These categories are always a nice way to rack up an extra 6,000 Ultimate Rewards points each quarter and with a $0 annual fee card like the Chase Freedom, I can’t complain. If you don’t have one (why not?!), the sign up bonus is 20,000 points after spending $500 in the first 3 months from account opening, which is double the normal offer.
