July 2, 2011
After a pretty dry spell for credit card bonuses, Chase has working hard on coming up with great sign up bonuses on their credit cards. Here is another one I just found. When you open a new Chase Freedom Visa credit card, you can receive a $200 cash back once you open a new account. All you need to do is spend $500 within the first three months. This is an $50 improvement from their $150 bonuis that was out earlier. That should be pretty easy to do if you charge your utilities, groceries and gas for a few months.
Along with the great bonus, the Chase Freedom Visa is also a cash rewards card. You earn 5% cash back based on quartly rotating categories. You also earn 1% on everything else that you buy using the card.
There is no annaul fee with this card.
