I never thought we’d see 7x (1x base + 2x ongoing dining + 4x quarterly category) on dining again! It will be available to activate on the app/website starting 12/15.
Edit: For those who are skeptical about the stacking, I can confirm I am earning 7% on dining on my Freedom Flex. My first purchases for the quarter posted today (1/5/26) and show 7% earn in the Ultimate Rewards portal.

Chase Freedom Visa: The one was not open new customers.
I don't use Chase cards often, and sometimes would like to quickly verify if something falls under chase freedom 5% category. Just trying to maximize the reward point. While it is annoying to log into account to check 5% category.
I had been using above link for years, but the link does not work anymore (just recently).

Chase Freedom Flex Categories: Get 5% Back On Chase Travel, Department Stores, Old Navy And A Only Bonus For Q4 – Forbes Advisor
March 26, 2025 - Choosing between the two cards isn’t really about comparing their calendars side by side as neither issuer publishes their categories far in advance. A more practical approach would be to consider ongoing benefits that matter more to you, such as the Freedom Flex’s additional fixed bonus categories (restaurants, drugstores and Chase Travel bookings) or the Discover it Cash Back’s lack of foreign transaction fees.

Seems like the Q2 categories are out here on this link now.
Q2: Amazon & select streaming services
Personally, this sucks, I was hoping for at least dining this time around, oh well. Sounds like a sock drawer quarter for me.

Since 2022 Chase reliably did Q1: Groceries, Q2: Amazon, Q3: Gas, and Q4: Paypal. Unless Chase decides to shake things up, the extra categories are the only surprise. Link for history. https://thepointsguy.com/news/activate-chase-freedom-5x-earnings/

Ugh. I was really hoping for another dining quarter for 7% back. Feels really redundant to have Amazon as a quarter when Chase is the backing bank for the Amazon Prime Visa. Looks like another quarter in the sock drawer

2 weeks ago - If you’d rather only have one, though, the Freedom Flex is available as a product change. Of course, you’ll also want to ensure you’re eligible for a new Chase card. The most important thing is to activate your card to earn 5% cash back (or 5 points per dollar) each quarter in the specific categories and then use your card for purchases in those categories. You can set up a recurring reminder in your calendar or sign up for the TPG newsletter.
