All Chase Freedom cardholders should see rewards program changes by year-end.
Posted on July 7th, 2009 – 1:57 PMBy Kara McGuire
In yesterday’s post about credit card reward program changes I mentioned how my Chase Freedom card reward program has changed from triple rewards in the three everyday categories where I spend the most to a less appealing award where Chase picks the category and gives you triple rewards if you sign up for them AND spend more than $750 (at least that’s what I saw today when I paid my bill).
Some readers responded that their reward program has not changed. So I went to Chase and here’s what I learned from spokeswoman Tanya Madison:
Because of the volume of Chase Freedom customers, we have staggered implementation of the changes that you reference. Most customers will have received notification of the changes and will have had their Chase Freedom credit cards updated with the changes by the end of the year.
So there you have it!
Any time you learn of changes to your credit card terms, be sure to let me know.

I have a Chase card, but not the Freedom rewards. I get $50 for every 5K points earned, with 5x earned for every $1 spent on gas and groceries. Being single and a bus rider, my bills for both are low, but it still has earned me at least $500 in three years.
[…] Not my Chase Freedom card. It changed its reward terms - for the worse, in my opinion - on June 30. (NOTE: Some readers say that their rewards program with this card has not changed. I’ve contacted Chase for details about the change and I learned that all cards will eventually change to the new program). […]
