Chase has released the 5%/5x categories on their Freedom and Freedom Flex cards for the fourth quarter of 2024, up to $1,500 in purchases:
- PayPal
- McDonald’s – this should be 7x on the Freedom Flex card since that card always gets 2x bonus points at Restaurants
- Pet Shops and Vet Services
- Select Charities
Paypal is an easy win. Some people might find the other categories useful as well. Remember that you can use Paypal to pay taxes; give charity; pay at millions of businesses like Walmart.com, Bestbuy.com etc; and even possibly pay in-store at some locations. It should also be possible to send money to a friend using the Family & Friends option for a 2.9% fee.
It’s been mentioned the possibility of using Paypal at CVS stores to get 7x on the Freedom Flex card since that card also earns 2x extra points at Drugstores.
PayPal at CVS is interesting. Any DP about VGC/MGC purchase?
Worked fine last time around for the 7%
Perfect!
This was hit or miss for me the last time they had this promo. Sometimes it worked fine at CVS and other times it didn’t. Hopefully, it’s more the former next quarter. 😀
Hit or or miss for 7%? Did you contact Chase for inquiries?
No. I meant hit or miss that the PP app worked at CVS to pay for gc.
I would try self-checkout, hope it’s not a hard code…
You can only buy a small gc (possibly < $200) at SCO. I doubt that it’s hard coded since it worked some of the time. We’ll have to play it by ear next quarter.
Instacart needs to be in this category
Does Petco contain Gift cards?
One bad experience with paypal and I’m ruined for life. Won’t even be activating these categories.
Whats the story, morning glory?
I’m tagging you to ensure that you will see
oasis′ reply as I’m also curious.
Does anyone knows if Geico insurance accepts Paypal payment for insurance bill (for the bonus of 5% Q4 2024 for Chase)?
If so, where can i find this option( i searched and couldn’t find it).
I thought about it some more, maybe the 5% bonus at McDonald’s is so we can load up on Hello Kitty and Yugioh plushies.
unfortunate to say the least, especially with the boycott and not to mention they have garbage food anyways
Chase Freedom Q4 bonuses brought to you by McDonald’s.
The US not fat enough? We really need bonus spending at McDonalds?
McDonalds seems to think so
There is a 10% cash back offer in PayPal for McDonald’s. Easy 7x and 10% back 😂
