Original Freedom has rotating 5% categories. I don't mind keeping track of categories, buying giftcards and using only in quarters when it will get me 5%. YMMV. Google to see what regular categories are.
OTOH you may prefer the simplicity of 1.5% on everything.

If I had to pick one or the other, I’d pick Freedom Unlimited. That gives you a simple, easy combination that earns respectably everywhere (at least domestically). But I seem to end up earning more with Freedom than Unlimited in my own usage, which includes a moderate amount of bonus-chasing on other cards. So I dunno, it’s very much a YMMV kind of situation.

Chase Sapphire Bonus Restrictions
So to summarize the current situation:- You can only get approved for Chase Sapphire products if you have less than 5 revolving accounts open in the past 24 months.
- You can only get approved and earn a bonus on Chase Sapphire products if you haven’t opened a Chase Sapphire product in the past 48 months

- You can only be approved for any Chase card if you have fewer than 5 personal accounts opened in the past 24 months.
- You can only be approved and earn a bonus on Chase Sapphire products if you do not hold a Sapphire card -and- haven’t received a Sapphire bonus in the past 48 months.

Edit: actually reading the words you used, I seem to be ok. I don't currently hold a Sapphire card and never received a bonus.

Does this include automatic card conversions? I held the Fairmont card and when it was cancelled they just sent me a Sapphire Preferred. I converted it to the Freedom Unlimited about 4 months later. I never received a bonus on the Sapphire.
