The second quarter of 2026 5% bonus categories for the Chase Freedom Flex (our referral link) and original Chase Freedom credit card (no longer available) have been released and can now be activated.
The Chase Freedom 5% categories for 2026 2nd quarter (April 1 – June 30, 2026) are Amazon, Chase Travel, and donations to Feeding America.
The 5% only applies to the second $1,500 spent on combined purchases each quarter. This means if you spend $1,500 on a combination of Amazon, Chase Travel, and donations to Feeding America during the second quarter of 2026 you will receive a total of 7,500 points (1,500 plus a bonus of 6,000 points).
Don’t Forget to Activate
Please note, that in order to earn the 5% you must activate the offer each quarter (by text, email or other methods). You can register now or any time during the registration period and earn the full 5% for the entire quarter retroactively. Registration for the 2nd quarter of 2026 ends on June 14, 2026.
Although the Chase Freedom and the Chase Freedom Flex are technically cash back cards, if you have a Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Sapphire Reserve or Ink Business or Sapphire Reserve for Business cards you can transfer points from your Freedom account into one of those accounts and then can transfer those points to various Chase travel partners.
