Registration has opened for the Chase Freedom Flex bonus categories for the second quarter of 2022.
The Chase Freedom Flex is one of those cards that works for everyone. Whether you’re just getting started in miles and points or have been travel hacking for a while.
There’s no annual fee and it is one of the best balance transfer credit cards with 0% intro APR.
You earn 5% cash back on rotating bonus categories every quarter (up to $1,500 in purchases), 5% cash back on travel booked through the Chase portal, 3% cash back at drugstores and restaurants, and all other purchases earn an unlimited 1% cash back.
It’s easy and uncomplicated. You get cashback or points. Or a combination of both. You don’t have to pick one or the other.
When you pair the Chase Freedom Flex with cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve Credit Card, Chase Sapphire Preferred Credit Card or Chase Ink Business Cash Card you can use your points for free airplane tickets and hotel stays.
Q2 Bonus Categories
For Q2 2022, you can earn 5x points on Amazon and select streaming services, up to $1,500 in combined purchases from April 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022.
The maximum amount of points or cash back you can earn is $75 or 7,500 points.
Pro-tip: These are the same bonus categories for the Chase Freedom (not open to new applicants).
I love that Amazon is one of the bonus categories for the second quarter. We shop a lot on Amazon. With free shipping from Amazon Prime and gas prices sky-high, you’ll save money and earn more points.
You can maximize your Chase Freedom Flex 5x bonus categories by switching your payment to this card on these streaming services:

The Chase Sapphire Preferred is the best card for beginning travel hackers. It is the first card you should get to start traveling for free because the welcome offer is 60,000 points after spending $4,000 in the first three months.
My favorite perks about this card are earning 5X points on travel when booked through the Chase portal (2X if direct purchase), 3X points on dining , $50 yearly credit on hotels booked through the Chase portal, no foreign transaction fees, and transferring points to 13 airline and hotel partners like Hyatt, United, and Southwest.
The Chase Freedom Unlimited is one of my favorite cards for earning cash back card and travel rewards. It offers a welcome offer of 3% cash back = an extra 1.5% cash back on up to $20,000 in purchases your first year.
My favorite perks about this card are earning 6.5% cash back on travel booked through the Chase Travel Portal , 4.5% cash back at drugstores and restaurants, unlimited 1.5% cash back on all purchases and no annual fee. When paired with cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve, you can use your points to travel for free.
