Chase will first consider your application for the Chase Freedom Visa Signature card; if you dont qualify for that, you will be considered for the Chase Freedom Visa Platinum card which has different benefits and credit availability with certain restrictions, limitations, and exclusions apply. The problem with "Visa Signature" cards is the same problem seen with "World Mastercards" cards; that is, they have no pre-set spending limit features, and it means your credit reports will have not report your maximum credit line (it will say NA or $0). Instead, they will only report any revolving balance you have on the credit card (your balance). The Chase Freedom Card will give you 1% cash back on all your purchases, with a 2% bonus on any 3 categories (grocery, gas & convenience, fast food & quick service restaurant, utilities (gas, electric, telecommunications, cable/satellite tv/internet providers), video rentals, department stores, dry cleaners, drugstores, movie theatres, local/suburban commuter transportation (ferries, bridges, tolls, parking garages, taxis/limos), pet supply stores and vetinary services, beauty shops (salons and spas) or gym/recreation memberships. You cannot use at superstores, warehouse clubs, and discount stores. Online and catalog purchases are not eligible either, unless merchants identify themselves amongst the above. For example, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohl's, Wal-Mart only count as 1% cash back. It looks like new applications for the Chase Freedom Rewards Card has a catchy twist.

Is the application link to the card that will change the top three categories every month? I remember you writing that one card you pick the three categories you want and the other automatically adjusts to your spending that month. Thanks for the info on the $50 bonus, reason enough for me to sign up tonight when I'm at home. Eric Wow, blogger spam…
