New Chase Freedom (SM) Card Credit Feature
Apply for a Chase credit card, or other MasterCard or Visa card.
Chase Card Services introduced a new statement credit feature for the Chase Freedom(SM) credit card, which lets customers put anything they want on their Chase Freedom credit card and apply their reward points to their next statement, thus spending rewards like cash. With this new feature, Chase provides customers with maximum rewards flexibility.
According to Joe Venuti, general manager of Chase Card Services, "Chase recognizes customers want to shop using their rewards like currency and the statement credit delivers just that. Chase Freedom has a reputation as an innovative product that gives customers unprecedented choice, flexibility and control."
In addition to shopping with reward points and applying the statement credit for merchandise, gift cards or travel, Chase is also offering Chase Freedom customers the option of contributing to the World Wildlife Foundation or the ASPCAŽ (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals). Consumers will be able to redeem reward points to make a contribution over the phone or online, the same way they redeem points for other items.
Chase Freedom is the only rewards credit card offering triple rewards that are automatically adjusted based on consumers' actual, month-to-month, everyday spending patterns. Chase Freedom, first introduced in 2006, achieved an industry first in giving consumers the flexibility to switch between cash back and reward points.
Chase Freedom is the only triple earning rewards program that is driven by, and adapted to, a card member's individual Everyday spending habits. Chase Freedom customers earn triple cash back or reward points in their top three of 15 Everyday spending categories, including:
- gas stations/convenience stores
- grocery stores
- department stores
- drug stores
- fast food and quick service restaurants
- movie theaters
- movie rentals
- dry cleaners
- health clubs and gym memberships
- beauty salons and spas
- pet supply stores and veterinarians
- local commuting
- telecommunications
- utilities
- cable/satellite TV and Internet bills
Chase Freedom is blink(SM)-enabled, allowing fast and easy purchases through contactless payment systems at more than 90,000 merchant locations. Chase Freedom is offered as a MasterCardŽ or VisaŽ.
Through Chase Exclusives, Chase added two new products to the Chase Freedom family. Chase Exclusives is a comprehensive program that provides all Chase checking account holders better rates, more rewards and bigger discounts on many Chase products, including Chase Freedom.
