There are three possibilities for how many points are earned. In the following examples, the effective rates are assuming you cash out the points for 1 cent each, but if you can transfer them to Sapphire Preferred or Ink, the effective rate could be much higher.

    Example 1: Spend $1 on a parking meter. Earn 1 point, an effective rate of 1%.
    Example 2: Spend $10 to refill a Metrocard in 2016 Q1. Earn 50 points, an effective rate of 5%.
    Example 3: Spend $100 to buy a Long Island Rail Road Peak Ten-Trip ticket between zones 1 and 3 in 2016 Q1. Earn 500 points, an effective rate of 5%.
    Example 4: Spend $1500 at 7-Eleven in 2016 Q1. Earn 7500 points, an effective rate of 5%.
  • Cardholders with a Chase checking account in older program
    1 base point per dollar plus 10% of the base points plus 10 points per transaction for all spending. Additional 4 bonus points per dollar for spending up to $1500 in quarterly categories.
    Example 1: Spend $1 on a parking meter. Earn 11.1 points, an effective rate of 11.1%.

Not really,

So now they are out of stock. When I wrote my post, one card was available for 0.5% off.

Bought several Costco shop cards on one of my non used Freedom card to lock in 5%. Purchased it March 30 but card was charged on shipping date April 2..  Is there anything I can do?

Regarding CC closure, how dangerous is it to pay off my Freedom card three times in one cycle instead of once in a cycle to be able to take advantage of the Q3 bonus categories?

I can’t seem to find ppk on my account, is this grandfathered in? Can anyone confirm if PayPal bill pay counts?

On the freedom flex still within the first year(5x) can you use this quarter paypal key((4x) at groceries(4x) and theoretically receive 13 points per $ spent?
