Spend $105.95 on Chase Freedom

$105.95 X 5 UR points per dollar (for Grocery Store Category Bonus) = 529.75 UR Points

+ 10 UR points per transaction (for having Chase bank account I think)

Total = 539.75

You can of course use whatever card you want to use. I just happen to think that Freedom is the best thing going for Grocery stores at this precise moment (that will obviously change on July 1st, well after this promotion ends).
