5%You must activate every quarter▾

The 5% rotating categories change every three months (past examples: grocery stores, gas stations, Amazon, PayPal, restaurants). You have to activate each quarter — miss it and you earn 1%. The 5% applies to the first $1,500 of combined spending per quarter, worth up to $75 back, or $300 a year if you max all four.

XR ptsPairs with Sapphire for transfers▾

Cash back is really Chase Ultimate Rewards® points at 1¢ each. Hold a Sapphire Preferred, Sapphire Reserve or Ink Business Preferred and you can pool the points and transfer them 1:1 to airline and hotel partners — turning 5% back into 5x points.

Cell phone protection on a $0-fee card

Up to $800 per claim if you pay your phone bill with the card — a benefit most no-fee cards don’t offer at all.

2026

$200 bonus on only $500 of spend

Same easy welcome bonus as the Freedom Unlimited — $200 back after $500 in the first 3 months.
