5x for first year at Grocery Stores. Capped at 12K in spend:
Key points:
- $200 (20K UR) sign up bonus
- Does not seem to be possible to generate referrals for this offer
It earns Ultimate Rewards points which may be redeemed for cash.
Freedom, Freedom Unlimited, Sapphire, Sapphire Preferred, all versions of Ink, JPM Select, JPM Palladium all earn Ultimate Rewards points. Ultimate Rewards points earned with any of these cards may be redeemed for cash at the rate 1 point = $0.01.
Chase markets Freedom, Unlimited, and Ink Cash as cash rewards, the others as points cards. The difference is in the marketing, not the rewards.
Travel and purchase protection benefits
Visa Signature
Visa Platinum
For general info, see Applying for Chase Credit Cards, 2017 onward.

Funny that the bloggers largely ignored this card when it was available for conversion, but now that affiliate links are available for online apps, it's become their "best ever card" for non-category spend. Gary is showing pics of the SW suites in his blog... as if 1.5x alone will get us those suites.

Pardon my ignorance on this question but I could not find the answer anywhere. I would really like this card if in fact you can earn 1.5 UR points on general spend. How do you designate that you want points instead of cash back? Is this something you do when you sign up or do have to choose to do so each month?

No designation required. Everyone earns Ultimate Rewards points which can be redeemed for cash at 1=$0.01 -or- they can be used the same as all other Ultimate Rewards points. Remember that points cannot be transferred directly from Chase Freedom or Freedom Unlimited to an airline or hotel program. You must transfer to a Sapphire Preferred, Ink Plus, Ink Bold, JPM Palladium or JPM Select card, then to a partner.

Applied online last weekend and was told they couldn't give me a decision at that time. This afternoon I received an email informing me I had been approved and that the card should arrive in 7-10 days.
Does anyone know if you can re-allocate credit lines across Chase business and personal cards? I'd like to move some $ from my Ink Bold to the FU as this new card will get the bulk of my every day spend aside from cellular/cable/internet/office supplies.

Ok.... quick question, I think I know what this is referring to, but I need verification.... I keep seeing 'PC' all over this thread- What does that stand for? I've been searching and can't find specific detail- Is it referring to switching from say a Freedom card over to a new FU card? If we do that , do we get the new card bonus,or is the main benefit for the 5/24 rule? thanks....

-You will not get a new card bonus when you change one existing card to another.
-You get the benefits that the new card offers, but you also do not get a hard pull for a product change.
-You keep the age of the open credit line, instead of starting anew with a new card, with a new open date.
-The card must be in the same "family" of cards.
