What are the Chase Freedom 5% cash back categories?

If you don't know the chase freedom flex and the older chase freedom car that you can only get through product change they earn five percent back or five x points back per dollar 

You can redeem it as either uh on rotating quarterly categories these calories change each quarter and that's on up to fifteen hundred dollars worth of spending per quarter 

So if you do the math that is either seven thousand five hundred points or seventy-five dollars in cash back that is up for grabs each quarter 

Now we are going to tell you all about the selection of categories that have just been released for the freedom cards for the quarter free of 2022 

So the chase freedom quarterly categories now before we look at the quarterly categories for quarter three let's just very very quickly 

I promise this will be very quick I won't keep you waiting we very very quickly recap the categories for quarter two and they are amazon and select streaming services 

You have a total of one thousand five hundred dollars spending to do in those categories you can see I have not spent anything in those categories at all 

Because I have the amazon credit card I haven't been bothered to switch it over but anyway you've got half a month left to fill up that bar 

If you want to max out those categories this month okay before the next quarter all right let's now move on to the quarterly categories for quarter three which are car rental agencies movie theaters and select live entertainment 

So I know everyone is going to be happy about gas we got gas prices so high right now they even turned jake paul into a republican well maybe it was a republican already I don't know but this was his tweet from the other day 

So for those of you that got the gas promotion on the chase freedom flex card as part of the welcome bonus 

Sive percent on gas for the first year on up to six thousand dollars in spending that should stack with this quarter of uh gas bonuses gas five percent 

We've seen it stacked before it does work and it's not actually ten percent you'd think five plus five equals ten 

But no it's one percent on base spend and then four percent for a bonus which takes you up to five 

So you get five percent for the quarter and then four percent for the welcome bonus that takes you to nine percent on gas for this quarter it should work like that we'll do an update and tell you 

If it doesn't then we have five percent on car rental agencies now that's great for summer road trips I guess you combine the gas with renting a car five percent on both 

However, personally, I use the Amex platinum for car rental because it gives me executive status uh with national car rental 

I can choose any car in the executive area you look at mid-size you get upgraded to full size and also for the collision damage waiver because the collision damage waiver 

That's the car rental insurance on the freedom card is only secondary which means you have to claim on your personal insurance first and then anything that doesn't cover will be covered 

By the credit card's insurance that's not what you want all right, you want primary so you don't even have to claim on your personal insurance 

So I would recommend the Amex platinum but if you have chase cards like the chase sapphire preferred chase sapphire reserve 

They both offer uh primary insurance the sapphire reserve gives you the national car rental executive status as well that's a much better deal than using the freedom 

I personally would not recommend it for car rental then we have movie theaters not much to say about that but you could go see top gun too and get five percent back well hey 

Then obviously select entertainment is going to be good for you if you're into that and tomorrow once these are formally released an email is sent out we should see a little bit more terms and conditions of what qualifies 

As select entertainment but probably it's going to be like concert tickets and that kind of stuff but I think for me I will absolutely max out the gas category 

My jeep has a 21-gallon tank and with gas at five dollars in new york or close to five dollars I think 493 thereabouts 

That costs over a hundred dollars to fill up my tank now the jeep that I have grand Cherokee the engine is a 3.6 liter v6 it's not the most gas-guzzling engine that jeep has 

But uh it's still a pretty big engine and it gets about 18 miles to the gown the way i drive it 

So that's not a terrible rate but at these prices, it is pretty crazy you know my school run alone to drop off my kids and bring them back home each day from school 

That uses two gallons of gas so that costs me basically ten dollars a day in gas every weekday just base spend all right and then obviously more at weekends if we go and drive somewhere so it's easily a hundred dollars a week 

So I'm definitely gonna be maxing out the gas category and I think jake paul will be too jake paul just you know stop complaining go get yourself a chase freedom 

I mean he's driving cars like this look at that lamborghini and this and this what is that okay like oh my god he's definitely spending a lot on gas 

So my advice to you jake paul get the chase freedom flex and remember guys you do need to activate these categories and you will be able to do that tomorrow 

On the 15th that's when they send out emails and formally announce them today, it's just sort of a little pre thing you can actually see the category.
