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:
  • 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.
For discussion of “Chase Offers”—short-term (usually <30 days) percentage discounts with specific merchants (not categories)—see "Chase Offers" (merchant branded discounts or rebates on specific cards), including the wiki at the top of each page.

One of the offers is literally free money: do 15 transactions @$2 or more in a single month and get a $50 bonus (repeatable Jan/Feb/March). Got this on my CFU.

No offers found on any of our biz cards.
I also received this on my CFU card. Easy 5,000 UR points per month.

Also got 5x Dining, Amazon, and Groceries up to 1.5k on my BA card. I might use that for Amazon purchases but not really interested in others

I had the $50 for 15 transactions offer too, but it wasn't 100% clear to me whether it is $50 per month or a single $50 for doing 3 months' of 15 transactions. I think the former would make more sense and would obviously be more lucrative but it's not entirely clear that is the offer. The way the first sentence of the terms is phrased doesn't suggest there's the opportunity to earn multiple rounds of $50/5K points:

You will receive 5,000 bonus points with this bonus offer, which can be redeemed for $50 cash back. To be eligible for this bonus offer, you must activate by 03/31/22 11:59 p.m. E.T. You will qualify for and receive your bonus if you make 15 or more Purchases with your credit card that are each at or above the specified target amount during each month of the promotional period. Purchases posted to your account with a transaction date during the offer period are eligible for this offer. Delays by the merchant, such as shipping, could extend the transaction date beyond the offer period. Please allow up to 8 weeks after the last day of the promotional period for bonus points to post to your account. (“Purchases” do not include balance transfers, cash advances, travelers checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers or similar cash-like transactions, lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, race track wagers or similar betting transactions, any checks that access your account, interest, unauthorized or fraudulent charges, and fees of any kind, including an annual fee, if applicable.) To qualify for this bonus offer, account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment. This promotional offer is non-transferable.

So my wife got nada on her UA Select, but the 5x Amazon, groceries and restaurants on her UA Gateway. Mine is the opposite (5x on my select, but not on the Gateway). Mine is still more valuable, since Select spend counts toward threshold for UA PQD, while Gateway card does not. Without the bonus, Gateway is pretty much completely useless, was better before it got transitioned off of the TravelBank card.

One thing I noticed is that the only card where I had an offer on this round was the one up for renewal annual fee during the quarter. Wonder if that is a factor?

Presumably you are referring to Chase Offers as covered by this separate thread?

"Chase Offers" (merchant branded discounts or rebates on specific cards)

The new enhanced FT makes it difficult to know where you are since the header does not float anymore.

On another note, I am not seeing these offers on here on my cards.

My wife got it yesterday on her Gateway card. Would it work for airbnb using Apple Pay? Hopefully I’ll get the offer on my Gateway too.

Like you, I got an email offer yesterday, for my Chase Hyatt card. 5X for groceries and gas, capped at $1500. So I guess I’ll fill up both cars and be done with it . (just kidding, I mostly drive electric, but I will use it for groceries for the next quarter). Nothing on my Marriott , 2 UA and IHG cards. My spouse has

Earn 15,000 bonus Avios when you make $5,000 or more in purchases with your Aer Lingus, British Airways, or Iberia Visa Signature® Credit Card from April 1 - June 30, 2022.”

We are drowning in Avios, so probably not going to do that.

Has anyone ever seen a bonus offer on the chase.com/mybonus site for the Freedom or Sapphire cards?
