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.

Chase/Marriott: 6x for groceries 5/1 - 7/31, max $5k
Email from Chase titled “Special Offer: Now earn 6x points at grocery stores”
fine print:
With restrictions on travel limiting the ability to earn reward points for stays, we are increasing the number of points you will earn on grocery store purchases to help you keep earning toward your next vacation.
From May 1 through July 31, 2020, you'll earn a total of 6X Points on up to $5,000 spent at grocery stores with your Marriott Bonvoy™ Card.1 No enrollment or activation required. We will travel again. Until then, stay safe, stay healthy.
From May 1 through July 31, 2020, you'll earn a total of 6X Points on up to $5,000 spent at grocery stores with your Marriott Bonvoy™ Card.1 No enrollment or activation required. We will travel again. Until then, stay safe, stay healthy.
fine print:
You will earn a total of 6 points for each $1 spent on up to $5,000 in total purchases made in the grocery store category from 5/1/20 to 7/31/20. For Marriott Bonvoy Boundless™, Marriott Bonvoy™ Premier Plus Business, and The Ritz- Carlton™ Credit Cardmembers that's 4 points on top of the 2 points you already earn on grocery purchases with your card. For Marriott Bonvoy Bold™, Marriott Bonvoy™, Marriott Bonvoy™ Premier, and Marriott Bonvoy Business™ Credit Cardmembers that's 5 points on top of the 1 point you already earn on grocery purchases with your card. Merchants who accept Visa/Mastercard credit cards are assigned a merchant code, which is determined by the merchant or its processor in accordance with Visa/Mastercard procedures based on the kinds of products and services they primarily sell. We group similar merchant codes into categories for purposes of making rewards offers to you. Please note: We make every effort to include all relevant merchant codes in our rewards categories. However, even though a merchant or some of the items that it sells may appear to fit within a rewards category, the merchant may not have a merchant code in that category. When this occurs, purchases with that merchant won't qualify for rewards offers on purchases in that category. Purchases submitted by you, an authorized user, or the merchant through third-party payment accounts, mobile or wireless card readers, online or mobile digital wallets, or similar technology will not qualify in a rewards category if the technology is not set up to process the purchase in that rewards category. For more information about Chase rewards categories, chase.com/RewardsCategoryFAQs. 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 6 to 8 weeks after qualifying purchases post to your account for 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 bonus offer is non-transferable and applies only to the account ending in the last 4 digits referenced in this offer.

According to DoC, it also is available on Amex cards:

Update: This offer is actually available on all Chase and American ExpressMarriott cards, and including the Ritz card. The only card not eligible is the currently-available AMEX Marriott business card), according to what FM was told by Marriott.

This is a nice gesture during the corona virus pandemic, since we aren't traveling to receive our points. However, with the Freedom card earnng 5 points per $ on groceries through June 30, I have to weigh what is more valuable, 5 UA Miles or 6 MR points. The UA miles win. Of course, during July, I could still do some grocery spend with my Marriott card for some extra Marriott points.

Probably not, based on the Chase Freedom list: https://creditcards.chase.com/freedo...ards/merchants

My grocery card is currently the Amex Everyday card. But I will shift a bit of spend to my Marriott card to bump my balance up to a level that lets me redeem an award night. I rarely stay at Marriotts in the Boyvoyed age and thus don’t acquire a lot of points anymore.

Yeah, right now I am not valuing Bonvoy points very highly although I do expect hotels to drop categories due to the demand changes.
I expect foreign grocery stores should count if coded correctly. The problem is many stores overseas are not classified as groceries because they tend to sell a variety of stuff or the groceries are in the basement.
However, the basement grocery cashiers at M&S did classify as grocery stores while the tills in the department store part did not. I guess you could drag your upstairs cart downstairs and pay for them at the grocery store side.

I read from a forum that CSR earns 5 points per grocery purchase starting from May 1st... is it true? If yes, that is really really good!

I have only received the email for the Marriott card, not for any of my other Chase cards.
