I only have used the Freedom card in the US, and I only use it for the bonus categories up to $1,500 per quarter. The useful part about the Freedom isn't the Freedom itself but rather the Freedom + CSP combo. You can earn at 5x in the bonus categories and then transfer 1:1 to any Chase partner: BA, Marriott, United, etc.
