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.

I havent seen it mentioned (which doesnt mean it was not) - but I just received my card (with 17.5 bonus) and it says there is also 10% bonus each year on "cash back" ie points for those who also have chase checking.
This is even better than 7% bonus on CSP that is going away in a year.
It makes sense to move all 1% spend from CSP to freedom in this case...

I'll probably try calling them. Nothing to lose I guess.

That is new. The reports have always been that Citi will match better offers within 90 days.

Hmm I don't think this would work. OP said that chase mailed him saying they will soon turn his MC into a VISA. In which case it is best to cancel it now so he can pick up the signup bonus again. If they ship him the new version then he won't be able to apply. Unless you are saying that he should keep it open, apply now before he is shipped the visa version, and then have 2 feedom visas?

I applied for this card before June 30, when the previous offer for 20k points for $500 spend was active.
So I've met my spending requirement but my next statement doesn't close for a few more days.
Do they award you the points when you reach the spending or when they post the new statement?
