• Rewards Categories: Internet, Cable, and Phone Services category merchants provide internet, cable, satellite television, radio, cellular, wireless data, and landline services. In addition, if you purchase or pay for your internet, cable and satellite television, phone or related services in a merchant’s store that is not registered by the merchant in the applicable services category, the purchase or payment will not qualify; for example, phone bill payments in a merchant’s store that register to Chase as a telephone equipment store.
• Utility category merchants provide electric, household fuel, water, and sanitation. Please note that purchases of equipment and some merchants that sell utility-related goods and services are not included; for example, electronics or other retail stores and merchants offering maintenance and cleaning services.
• Insurance category merchants provide health, automobile, homeowners, medical, and life insurance.
• What determines whether a merchant falls into a category? 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 offers to you.
• Please note: We make every effort to include all relevant merchant codes in our categories. However, even though a merchant or some of the items that it sells may appear to fit within a category, the merchant may not have a merchant code in that category. When this occurs, purchases with that merchant won’t qualify for 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 category if the technology is not set up to process the purchase in that category. This promotional offer is non-transferable. For more information about your rewards program, see your Rewards Program Agreement.

Our Verdict

Reader FR sent this one in, I found the link for Freedom Unlimited, haven’t yet been able to find the direct links for the other offers, but you can try the Catch All link and it should find your offer if you are eligible. There is also another offer that requires two bill payments for 1,500 bonus points.

We’ve seen this kind of bonus offer from Chase numerous times before, it’s usually sent out across a wide variety of cards including Sapphire, Freedom, IHG, Amazon, etc. We’ll add the other links as we discover them. These offers are typically targeted/YMMV, try the link and see if it works for you or wait for an email.

Insurance and utilities are usually the sweet spot for most people since it’s a non-bonused category, whereas things like phone and internet a lot of people already get a bonus on them.

There’s a similar-but-different offer others are seeing for 1,500 points with 2 bill payments.
