  • 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.

Seen in Lowe's, looks like they're getting ready for Chase Q2

Question is... can you use Lowe's GC to purchase GC? (5x at URM)
Dan, assuming I can mention this because it's not on your shiopping portal http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=6283.0 but if I'm wrong you can delete.

Freedom Master and Visa
« Reply #708 on: March 19, 2013, 12:16:19 PM »
I have had the Chase Freedom Visa since it was always a 5% gas, drug store and grocery store card. I applied for the Freedom Master card and was automatically denied. I called reconsideration 3 times with no luck as they said you cant have both cards. Any one have luck getting both freedom cards?

Does Starbucks count as a "restaurant" for the purposes of the 5% bonus?

As far as chase is concerned it needs to be registered as a restaurant which most eateries are.

I know if Far Rockaway, Berrylicious is registered as a grocery store.
