New Chase Freedom (Flex) 5x categories are out for Q2:
- Restaurants
- Hotels
- Amazon, Whole Foods

Pretty sweet since restaurants will bump up to 7x (1x base + 2x restaurants + 4x rotating categories). Whole Foods will stack to 9x if you still have the intro offer for 5x on groceries/gas for 1 year.

Note the card does have a foreign transaction fee, so probably only worth using domestically.

Does this apply to the Chase Freedom Unlimited CC as well?

No, that's a different card

smart

Does Freedom make more sense to use than CSR at restaurants?

They're both 3x normally, so it doesn't matter. But for Q2 specifically, definitely use Freedom. You can combine the points across cards anyways.

This is absolutely top tier

Do the bonus points work like that for the Freedom Flex? Stacked on top of each other?

Dang, I just have the regular Freedom and only get the 5x on the bonus categories and 1x on everything else.

Helps that it’s a Visa though and when wholesale clubs go to 5x, HELLLOOOOOO Costco.

Yes they do stack. I was getting 9x groceries this quarter.

And yes the OG Freedom is really only good for when wholesale clubs are a category. But you can also use the Flex on Costco gift cards for the same 5x back so.... really the same. It does allow you to expand your quarterly 5x limit from 1.5k to 3k if you have both OG and Flex though.

Phenomenal quarter. Glad I have both Freedom and Flex.
