Reminder: Activate Chase Freedom Q2 Promotion TODAY


This post may contain affiliate links from our advertising partners. Read my Advertiser Disclosure policy here. Additionally, some of the offers on this page may no longer be available through Deals We Like.

UPDATE: This offer has expired.

This is a quick reminder for those that have the Chase Freedom credit card to activate the Q2 (April, May, June) 5x point categories at restaurants, movie theaters, and Lowe’s. Although you have until the end of the month to get your 5x points up to $1,500, you only have until TODAY (June 14th) to activate. You will get the points for all prior purchases as well, not to worry. If you have not maxed out the $1,500 maximum yet and do not believe you will do so by the end of the year, think about purchasing your favorite restaurants gift card to use later throughout the year.

The upcoming quarterly 5x bonuses for 2013 include:

  • Quarter 3: July-September (Gas stations, Theme parks, Kohl’s)
  • Quarter 4: October-December (Select department stores, Amazon.com)

Remember, the 5% cash back is on purchases up to $1,500 total for the quarter for all included categories. So the most you can receive is 7,500 Chase Ultimate Reward points (or at a bare minimum $75 cash back). You can also read this prior post to fully understand the confusion some have with points vs. cash back when it comes to the Chase Freedom card.

Also remember, points earned through the Chase Freedom credit card are NOT transferable to partner airline/hotel programs. However, if you have another Chase Ultimate Rewards card with this transfer option (Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Ink Bold, Chase Ink Plus), then you can transfer your your points from your Chase Freedom account to your other Chase Ultimate Reward account.
If you are new to the Chase Freedom card or the Chase Ultimate Rewards program, read this prior blog series to learn more:

I assume you mean”…activate the Q2(April, May, June)…” in your first sentence?

I’m confused here. When you say 5x the points what you mean is 5% of your purchases right? The link you provided only mentions. 5%
I hope it really is 5x then ill be getting a lot of giftcards

@anita – it is 5 points, which you can then cash out for 1 cent per point, thus 5%. However if you have another chase card (chase sapphire preferred, chase ink bold, or chase ink plus) you can transfer your chase freedom points to those accounts which means its really 5x points.
