Chase regularly offers 3-month spending bonuses at chase.com/mybonus.
Chase Spend and Get Offers | My Bonus | Chase.com
These bonuses have the following characteristics:
Chase Spend and Get Offers | My Bonus | Chase.com
These bonuses have the following characteristics:
- Offers are not visible in your Chase online account. You can view them only through the portal at the link above. Viewing an offer automatically registers your card for it.
- Offers are individually targeted. You may receive a different offer, or none at all, on a card type for which another FTer reports a bonus.
- A given card will have, at most, one applicable bonus offer at a time.
- Offers are typically for higher multiples of miles/points per dollar spent. Note that when an offer is for “10x on gas spend,” that means 10 points or miles per dollar total, including any category bonus native to the relevant card.
- If you downgrade a qualifying card during an offer period, the offer will still apply, but you will receive only the incremental benefit relative to the new card’s built-in category bonus, if any. For example, the Chase IHG Premier card always earns 5x on dining, so a 10x quarterly offer is worth an extra 5 points/dollar. If you downgrade to the IHG Traveler card (native 3x dining bonus), you will receive 8 total points per dollar (native 3x plus the promotional 5 points/dollar) for spending during the offer period.
- On very rare occasions, an offer may be for a fixed bonus contingent on the cardholder making a certain number of transactions of a minimum value. (For an early 2022 instance of this—5,000 UR for making 15 purchases of at least $2 each—see this post.)
- Most offers are for generic categories (gas, grocery, dining, etc.). On occasion, however, an offer may be for purchases with a specific Chase partner using the applicable co-branded card (e.g., United Airlines, Hyatt, IHG) or for a large merchant such as Amazon (Q422).
- Offers are usually capped at $1500 in spend. In some cases, however, the cap may be higher, e.g., extra miles on up to $6,000 in purchases from United Airlines on a United card.
- Bonuses are typically for standard quarterly periods, but offers may also run for other three-month periods (e.g., June/July/August). It is generally worth checking on, or even shortly before, the first of each month for any card that doesn’t currently have an associated offer.
- If you have a Q3 offer, you won’t be able to see any Q4 offer on that card until the Q3 offer expires. That said, Chase may send you an email notification a few days before the cutoff allowing you to view & pre-register for the upcoming offer.

I'm not sure if this is a COVID-19 related offer (though it is temporary)....I received an email from Chase offering six months of free Spotify premium ($9.99/month) and another offer for 5% statement credit for same after the six months offer expired. Enroll by 30 September 2020.
It was sent as an offer on my CFU account.

We've been ordering Walmart groceries online and then doing curbside pickup and each purchase has coded as "Walmart Groceries" with the category "Groceries" on Reserve and earning 5x. Last shopping, I moved over to Freedom because I have quarterly credit left and it also posts as "Walmart Groceries" with the "Grocery" category, but I'm only getting 1x. Weird. Only about 800 points but still annoying.

If I'm wrong, I'll refund all the money you paid me for this guess--and you get to keep the points.

You can bet that I don't know for sure, but here's my guess. Walmart is specifically excluded from the bonus for Freedom cards, even though (some) Walmart stores code as grocery. I assume Chase has some subroutine that ensures that Walmart does not get the bonus on Freedom cards, and that subroutine was not activated for the Sapphire Reserve. Thus the grocery coding gets the bonus with Sapphire Reserve and not with Freedom.

I sent a secured message and they said that Walmart and Target do not count even if coded as grocery. I tried to pull up the faq to see if it's correct but they have already moved the terms and conditions over to the next quarter category. I have no reason to doubt what they are saying, though, and so I guess just a screw up by me of not reading the complete T&C before spending on the card and instead just assuming it would work like Reserve. No biggie -- not too many miles.

Their calendar mentions the exclusions right under "Grocery Stores" https://creditcards.chase.com/freedo.../bonuscalendar
also, a search of "Freedom" in this thread comes up with this earlier DP

For those abroad, be aware that at least some convenience stores may code as grocery. I have the IHG, BA, Hyatt and Sapphire Preferred cards and have received 3x at Ministop and Circle K stores.
