An interesting happened to me with the Freedom card. I saw the offer a month ago for the 30,000 bonus points and applied, and got approval. Later that day I was talking to my banker at Chase(I speak to him often regarding financials for the business I work for) and asked if he could match the offer. He sent my request to a regular banker, and I did not hear back from her. I called the toll free number and the rep told me I have 10,000 points as a courtesy! Got my statement today - and that is true! Spent less than $30 and got 10,000 points, and 20,000 more when I spend $500 within 93 days! Thank you Chase:)
