Review
Chase Freedom Credit Card is providing limited 5% cash back for those who wants to pick their own purchase category. We have mentioned about its brother Chase Freedom Unlimited on Credit Cards Center before. They are some little differences with the card. You can see our comparison to see which card can be the best option for you.
1% cash back rate is below average, however 5% cash back for a purchase category that you pick is good. There is also no APR for 15 months with the card. (Except Cash Advance APR.) As same as many other cash back cards, Chase Freedom Credit Card is providing high APR for consumers after introductory period. These interest rates can be very high for those who even have excellent credit score.
Some features of the card:
- You can check your FICO score free.
- You are not going to pay penalty interest rates with this card.
- Balance transfer fee is $0 for 60 days.
- Cashbacks are not expiring.
