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.

Just out of caution, I'm not sure that this is for all Amazon.com purchases. But those terms might apply for specific Amazon purchases "if you take advantage of Promotional Financing." It's not clear from this chart which Amazon purchases qualify for promotional financing, but if it's anything like the Amazon Store Card, it will be clearly labeled on the product page and at checkout what is being offered for that specific purchase (e.g., 0% for 6 months on all appliance purchases over $X, 0% and equal payments for 24 months on Samsung TVs, etc).

Yeah, it was odd, there was no more fine print in the email...

But you are right, I see it on Amazon.com - checked 3 different products, 2 were eligible, 1 was not (it looks like a product must be Prime eligible, maybe?)

Amazing how many people find problems with new offers. I actually do buy most of my groceries at Walmart. They have the best selection at the best price.

However, I have plenty of other local grocery stores that carry liquor, gift cards, and... groceries also at a great price. These offers were more than I expected.

I'm continuing to enjoy this offer. My son needs a new cupboard in his room, we designed it on ikea.com and I bought 300EUR worth of Ikea GCs at my local grocery store yesterday

Is anyone having luck with grocery charges counting towards the $300 travel credit? My CSR AF posted on 6/1. I had a couple of grocery store charges last week (Whole Foods & Vons) but they have not triggered the automatic credit the way travel charges do.

At some point between upgrades and downgrades my CSR travel credit resets in late May but the fee posts in September. Is it possible your travel credit has not reset yet?

Since the statement in May the credit has applied as advertised for my card.

In my case it was a new enrollment. The first AF posted on 6/1/19. My first charge on the card was 6/14/19 so I don’t know if that could be when the counter resets?

Check the Ultimate Rewards portal page and see. Your travel credit resets annually based off the statement date so you may not have hit it yet.

My grocery charges have been triggering the credit, as they have for my mom (who was legitimately surprised her grocery charges were being reimbursed.)

So the UR dashboard says the travel credit will reset on the statement date in June of this year. So that would be on 6/16.

So there's your answer. You've already used your allotted $300 travel credit and it will reset and be available for new credits beginning 6/17.

CSR AF hits in mid-December, so happy to make it just under the wire for $450. Pressing my luck and hoping there's a Safeway J4U bonus on GCs (beyond the current $15 off select GCs) just ahead of Fathers Day to get even more benefit from 5x grocery spend.

Done. The Wikipost will be unlocked after I make time to fix a problem.

My Chase UA Club Infinite card's statement that issued yesterday shows 5X on grocery store purchases (1+4 = 5X).
