[NAC]

Where does it say $300 back? I only see the offer of $100 back after spending $500.

Says it here. I have an Amazon Chase Visa already, can i still apply and cancel the card once the $300 is credited to my account?

Rewards Currency
Rewards are earned as points, which can be redeemed for cash back. 1% cash back equals 1 point. If you choose to redeem for cash back, 1 point equals $0.01 cash back. For example, 2,000 points can be redeemed for a $20 check.

I got this deal last year. No hassles at all, spent over $500 over the first couple of months, got 30,000 points ($300) added as available rewards and credited it to my account.

If you plan on ever carrying a balance, you're going to get royally screwed with any credit card. If you pay the full balance each month, it's great.

Fixed.

You should be able to.

I already had a Chase CC and I was able to get in on the Freedom deal last year

I appreciate the screen shot, but when I go to the link from the OP, I end up at the link below, and I see $100 back.

I only see $100 from THAT link in your post as well.
I've tried using Firefox, IE, and deleting cookies.

However, I see $300 from THIS link in the OP.

Use this link instead.

Nice, I have a Chase Southwest and Amazon card. Never had a Freedom card before, I assume I will still be eligible for this deal?

I have a chase amazon and I was approved for this deal, so I would say yes.

I got a promo in the mail from Chase that was $300 just for signing up (no spending $500).

Sure enough, I have 30,000 points in my account. I want to say they showed up in about a month-and-a-half...I think after I paid my first bill.

It is a real deal and the only downside is that you take a minor, temporary ding on your credit score (new inquiry & average age of accounts goes down, but available credit goes up).

I got this card back in september for 200$ back, this is an awesome deal if you need a new card.
5% back in rotating categories (gas and amazon right now)

I'm assuming yes, but what I plan on doing is calling them up once I get my card to confirm. If they say no, then I will just cancel the card.

I can tell you this, when I logged into my Chase account this morning, there was an offer for a Freedom card but with only a $100 cash award. Not sure why this offer would be any different.

Thanks. I see the proper image from the link from home. It might have been blocked on my computer at work. Great deal!

That is a bad idea. Having available unused credit is good. Opening accounts incurring hard credit inquiries and closing accounts is bad

Please don't lecture me on credit. I know more than enough about it, it's benefit, it's evils.

One credit card opened, then immediately closed is not going to do squat to my score, nor do I really care. I am not a credit score hawk like many on this site.

Additionally, available unused credit is good to a point. I have plenty of it already, don't really need any more.

 

[HybridSquirrel]

hmmm...contemplating doing this just to buy an ar-15....what sort of credit score do I need to qualify?

This has the new Canon G1X written all over it. IFO.

so... What can a person do with points? Can you pay your statement with them? B/c I'd rather be reimbursed $300 from a 500 statement, since I have no idea what to do with cc points.

The points turn into cash.
30,000 points turn into 300.00 and can either be sent to you by check, deposited into a linked checking account or credited to you CC statement.

 

[Brock123]

In for 1 now I need to decide if I want another 7970 or a new hand gun.

thanks esquared

With math skills like that, I'm not sure you should get ANY credit card.

Quick questions:

I am looking buying a new $250-$300 video card soon (was waiting for march 6th and the 7870). If I get this credit card and buy a 7970 instead, I'd spend $600 and pay the balance off immediately. If I understand this correctly, I'd get 600 points on my first statement ($6) and then 30,000 points 6-8 weeks later.

1) After I get those 30,000 points, I could redeem my 30,600 points for a check which would equal $306?

2) How long should I keep that account open for? Three months, six months, one year?

Most cash back programs require reimbursment in increments of $25 or $50.

Ahhh, thanks. In other words, I should expect $300 instead of $306.

So, is everything else correct? How long should I keep the C/C?

Chase doesn't do increments. I cashed in my points (not from this promotion) the other day for $193.30.

 

[cutty]

Starting at 18% APR? Ouch.

Who cares? As long as it doesn't charge interest if I pay in full before the due date, I don't care it's 18% or 18000%. I never paid a cent interest to those credit card companies.

No, chase doesn't do increments. I with drew 407 and some odd cents to my checking account.

Also, deadken, you may want to think about keeping it as they have 5% bonus on rotating quarters.

Right now it's 5% off up to 1500.00 in purchases for gas and Amazon. I know the gas will be repeated in the third quarter so you can have 6 months of 5% off on gas purchases.

Sorry for the ugly link but just click on it and then click in the 2012 calender link to see what the 5% offers are.
