  • Cardholders with a Chase checking account in older program

You need to activate it?
You always need to activate Freedom bonuses
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Interesting. Is there a point in specifically downgrading to freedom(aside for them crediting you in the 5x cat) as opposed to just downgrading to the cs non preferred version. This way you could sign up for freedom and get the su bonus?
downgrade and sign up for another csp?

That also works. I was referring to downgrading to a non preferred sapphire instead of downgrading to freedom from csp.

When you sign into your account, it has the option to activate the bonus categories under the other account info.
