The key is to maximize.

If OP preserves Freedom for the quarterly bonus, and has only spent $100 in the bonus categories each quarter, UR earned will be insignificant.

Bottom line - what OP needs to do is to review his spending/UR earning for Freedom. Without that information, what we have been arguing are pointless.

I have never formed such assumption, for the record.
