Our Verdict

Standard offer on both has typically been $150/$500, so this is a small boost. There are occasionally targeted or branch offers of $300 for either of the cards.

For the past number of months, Freedom Unlimited has been going with a completely different incentive, offering 3% back on up to $20k in purchases during the first year. Now, they’ve reverted back to the more typical bonus structure, and both Freedom cards now offer $200 bonus on $500 spend.
