I signed up for the Freedom Unlimited for the 5x Grocery. When I got my first statement it was just giving me the regular 1.5. I called to see why that was happening and the rep started telling me that there is no such thing as the 5x on grocery. I directed him chase.com where it clearly was still showing that this was the signup promotion. He said he will put a note in my account to make sure it gets updated. I just received a letter from chase telling me they are confirming that this promotion expired and will not be receiving the 5x on groceries.

Anyone else had this? Any tips on what I can do next?

I already have a Freedom Unlimited and only signed up specifically for this bonus.

Did you ever get this resolved?  I had the same issue, and was never able to speak to a person directly about it.  I had to call back  to find out what was written in my notes.

I signed up for this card last week and still have not received it. I want to use it to book a flight but the Chase rep I spoke to said she can't give me the expiration or CVV. Any options or am I forced to use another card?

As a side note, if I do use another card, am I able to change payment on a United reservation assuming I receive it before my flight?

You can add it to a mobile wallet from within the app.

Thanks, I was able to link it to Google Pay but when I try to check out in UR through the Chase app it's only giving me the option to add a CC number.

Is it a good time to apply for Freedom Unlimited, or should I hold out for a better signup bonus?

https://www.dansdeals.com/credit-cards/signup-chase-freedom-unlimited-get-20k-points-plus-5-points-per-dollar-groceries-now-bonus-travel-drugstores-dining-spending/

Is the above offer current? It says that it expired, but it seems like the same offer is also valid now. Am I missing something?

Yeah that offer is still available. Maybe Dan just needs to update his link?

I think the current bonus is pretty good. I don't recall ever seeing them offer more than ~30,000 on this card and that was for a pretty short window IIRC. And the 5x grocery is a nice added-bonus (especially if you can make sure to max it out...whether that be via organic spend or by mixing in some grocery-store MS)

can you refer if you don't have that particular card yourself?

Thanks. I thought so too. Just wondering if there is an advantage to applying in branch via CPC banker.

I'm not aware of any advantages to doing so...but I'm not super knowledgeable on this particular nuance so I'll let others chime in

Does Chase code 7-11 as gas?
