Don't forget the $100 referral
Few days ago , same card had "5% cash back on grocery store purchases (not including Target or Walmart purchases) on up to $12,000 spent in your first year of account opening"
I have two Freedoms and a Freedom Unlimited. Can I get this card and the signup bonus?

I have this card and also the Chase Preferred Sapphire. Is it possible to transfer the Chase Preferred Sapphire reward points to this card and not lose the reward points? I want to avoid the $95 this year. I've had the Chase Preferred Saphire for a couple years already.

Yes, last time I checked you can transfer points from one Ultimate Rewards card to another. But it might be worth confirming with a customer service rep before pulling the trigger. However, I would recommend you just downgrade your card from CSP to the Freedom Flex if your main goal is to cut the annual fee but keep your points. That way you keep the age of your account and credit limit etc the same. Are you sure you don't get at least $95 of value out of the card each year, though? If you just stay one night at a hotel a year you get $50 back right away, which technically brings the annual fee down to $45 depending on how you look at it.

3% seems for dining seems pretty good for a no annual fee card.
Is there another no fee credit card that can beat this?
(I see Capital One Savor is also 3% dining, no annual fee)
TD Cash Reward card gives 3% on dining and delivery.

Quote from KMan :
So I recently applied and was just accepted for the Flex card. Found out not via a letter, text or email, but by logging into my existing Chase account, where I already had a checking, savings and the Freedom and Ultimate cards, and saw a new card with a significantly higher credit limit than the other 2 cards. When I clicked on its rewards page, it mentioned the $200 bonus after spending $500 within 3 months. Great, so far.

Thing is, although I was supposed to get 0% APR for the first 15 months or so, it listed a very high APR of at least 25% or so with no mention of the initial 0% APR for 15 months. Is that just because it was just added to my account and the system hasn't fully completed the setup process, and I just have to give it a few more days to complete?

Also, there's no feature that lets me get the full card details so I can start using it before I get the physical card in the mail. Is there a way to do this, as there is with new Capitol One cards, or do I have to wait for the card? I have 3 months to spend that $500, but I actually have some things I need to buy now so I'd rather not have to wait.
You can add your card to Paypal without the account number, but obviously that limits you in terms of spending categories.

Quote from mydecember1985 :
I keep mine for 1-3 years and cancel them. The important part is DON'T CANCEL YOUR OLDEST card. Your credit score is affected by your average age of all open accounts. You want the average to be 6-7+ years. I have one card that's 15 years that keeps that average up there. I only see my score dip 10 points at most when I cancel a card. I honestly attribute that dip more to higher card utilization. I spend about $1,500/mo spread across my 3 rewards cards. If I cancel one of those, my overall utilization jumps a decent % and drops my score.
Canceling a card also reduces your aggregate credit limit. If you don't have a lot of credit across your cards, that may hurt your score a bit.

Oh, I see. Yes, you can transfer points between existing accounts. Log into your Chase Ultimate Rewards account, then click on the Earn/Use drop-down (should be towards the top of your browser). Then select Combine Points. From there you should see the points you have for each card and you'll have the ability to transfer them from your CSP to your Flex card. Hope that helps!

It has 0% Intro APR for 15 months from account opening on balance transfers. Not sure what you mean by "to checking" though. You have to transfer the balance from another credit card.

WISH more cards offered pre-approval. Nothing like applying with good/perfect credit only to be turned down for some odd reason and then stuck with a hard pull for 2yrs :'(

As long as you are past the 5/24 rule you should. Do you already have the same Freedom Flex card? I am not sure about that part, though earlier comments have stated that you can have multiple of the same type of card too.

You can switch to Freedom Flex. However they say that product changes (switching) do not qualify for the sign up bonus
