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.

Thanks for that bit of education; I'd never heard of Neighborhood Market. According to Google Maps, there isn't one within 200 miles of my part of flyover country, so I don't feel quite so ignorant for being unaware.

That is unusual. Unless you are in rural area. Else if it is just a mid size city, there would be WalMart Neighborhood Markets around. WalMart makes more money in selling groceries than other merchandises in a traditional WalMart. The Walmart Neighborhood Market is a much smaller store, selling groceries only, with a pharmacy on site. So a lot less overhead to operate. The WalMart Neighborhood Markets seems to be more wide spread than the WalMart Superstore locations in South Florida.

This is not an “either/or” choice. You can do both, and the new Chase Sapphire benefit is good for $3,000 in purchases, while the Freedom is limited to $1,500.
It will be easy to max out both offers. Or you can simply declare “So what,” and pass up the additional 15,000 UR points.
Your choice.

On a side note, UA just stealthy devalues its partner awards which now go dynamic pricing with most now cost 10% more miles, in case nobody here notices.

So far we received the 6x on Marriott cards from Marriott, not from Chase. We do not have Marriott personal cards anyway, nor we feel 6x Marriott pts are enough incentives to earn.
We have not received any notice from Chase where we have the "eligible cards". So far it is all just 3rd party and blogs reporting this.
I much prefer Citi's Prestige now let the $250 travel credit also can be used with grocery spend / restaurant dining, thru end of Dec 2020.

That is assuming a family would spend $4,500 in grocery spend in 2 to 3 months... Unless someone is buying gift cards incl those cash equivalent gift cards, a normal family would not spend $4,500 in grocery within 2 to 3 months. A lot of grocery stores do not sell more than $100 to $200 denomination cash equivalent gift cards. Hoarding large values of 3rd party retailer gift cards may not be a smart move, "free UR pts" not withstanding.

On that note, the fixed 500's that are US bank, what exactly is the PIN(?), i didn't see it in the packaging and the POS kept promoting me for the PIN after I typed in the last 4, I assumed it was the last 4 but I don't use USB GC's very often obviously?

I don’t touch those MCGCs from Safeway Just4U anymore after realizing they don’t work even when you change payment (YMMV) not worth the hassle and frustration. As a bonus, they randomly don’t work on normal spend!

No announcement, but...
... I have received 5X on a CSR grocery charge from Safeway and 6X on a Marriott grocery charge, both from 5/2.
