As of Oct 2019, offer is as follows:
What can I do with Chase Freedom Ultimate Rewards (UR) points?
More info here: http://thepointsguy.com/2015/09/maxi...hase-trifecta/
Can I apply for this card and earn the bonus after doing so previously?
- $200 (20K UR points) for $500 spend in first 3 months.
- No annual fees.
- This is the best available offer since the past few years.
- Public Application Link
What can I do with Chase Freedom Ultimate Rewards (UR) points?
- Transfer them to a Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Sapphire Reserve, or Chase Ink Business UR points at 1:1. If you own one of those cards, this is probably the best option for you.
- Redeem for cash back (statement credit or to a checking account), 1 cent per UR point. So, the 20K UR points for signing up will get you $200 cash back. This is generally the default option if you do not own a Sapphire or Ink card.
- Redeem them for various gift cards, or shop with points at Amazon.com (usually same value as cash back, eg. $25 for 2500 UR).
- Book flights/hotels/car rental/activities through Ultimate Rewards, and pay in full or in part using points (1 cent per UR).

See the wiki and related discussion in Applying for Chase Credit Cards, 2017 onward
Chase Freedom: $150 (15K UR) + $25 (2.5K UR) for AU after $500 spend in 3 mo.

Just so you guys know. I called to request a new replacement card with the Chip and since the rep was nice I asked her if it was possible to have my Freedom Visa card upgraded to a Visa Signature, she told me that yes and after like 2 mins, a couple of clicks and some terms over the phone I was ready. Next day air shipping with a cool looking Chase freedom Visa Siganture with Chip

Their bigger bonus is generally the $200 one (20,000 UR points) rather than the usual $100 running now.
It looks like they ran the larger bonus starting in late May last year. So if there isn't an urgency, I'd consider waiting a little while longer to see if you can get it...or at least be close enough so you can call Chase and get the larger bonus for your account after application.

Yes, although you must first move them over to your Ink since Chase treats each card as having its own bucket of UR points.

Right now they have the $200 plus a bonus for having a auth user added but only with a referral. Look at the Credit Card Programs and referrals which is the 1st link. Lot's of people are posting there.

Signature comes with better benefits than Platinum. Usually they are reserved for those with Very Good - Excellent credit and usually have a minimum credit line around $5000.
I'm too lazy to search for a Chase specific guide, but here is one from TD bank that should be pretty similar to any bank.

Here are links to many of the Chase benefit guides if you want to dig into the details.

Is there possible way to get Chase Freedom card now if above 5 apps/2 year rule?
Hi, need assistance. Frequent churner (approx 1-2 cards every 90-120 days consistently). I never got in on the Chase Freedom card and now with Chase restrictions of denying Freedom card if you have 5 apps/2 years, I WANT the card!!!!
Am i out of luck or is there a way to cancel one of my credit cards with Chase and ask to be put on the Chase Freedom to avoid the likely chance of denial if I apply for the card.
I do not care about any type of sign on bonus. Simply looking for way to add Freedom card to add bonus points and to add to my Ultimate Rewards account
Thanks

If you have a card with an annual fee which you are not convinced that you want to retain, call Chase and explain the situation.
I had an account about 3 years ago and they switched it to a Freedom with no issues. I still earn the old 10 UR/transaction +1 UR/$ on it so my decision to move away from the other account has been a serendipitous one.
I can't speak for the app time limit rules but I think that Chase would be amenable to something similar to my situation just to keep your business.
