For those who don't know,
Chase [chase.com] is celebrating 15th anniversary of the Chase Freedom card.
To that end, for Chase Freedom and Chase Freedom Flex card holders, there is an additional 5% bonus category for
March only, which is
Tax Preparation and Insurance. This is in addition to NCL, Grocery Stores, Gyms, and Hair/Nail/Spa.
Hopefully, this helps those that still need to file their taxes. And 5% off those large insurance premiums is always appreciated.

GEICO auto didn't credit 5x for me despite being recorded as "Merchant type:
Insurance sales, underwriting and premiums"
Please let us know if you can fix it.. I already paid with unlimited last week and activated this now.. may be I can ask them to revert the old transaction and I can pay with this card if it works
+ 1% (1 Pt)/$1 earned on all purchases
Calling in won't help since quarterly bonus categories are not a part of how that card is structured (i.e. "unlimited" purchases at 1.5x earnings, as opposed to 5x on certain rotating categories and 1x on everything else).

I got 5% for geico auto
looks like I might just miss the 5%. ugh
Great point. Those of us deep in the points & miles game know that it's only:
- Chase Freedom
- Chase Freedom Flex
...but reading through the thread, it's clear that the unspecific title "Select Chase cardholders" created confusion for a lot of people.
