Our Verdict

This $200/$225 deal comes around about four times per year. I think the Chase Freedom is a solid card and worth applying for when the bonus is at this level. That being said, there is really no urgency in getting this card due to how often this higher sign up bonus is offered. If you haven’t already I’d recommend looking at the leaked 2015 5% cash back rotating categories.
