Chase Freedom 30,000 Ultimate Rewards Bonus Points Promotion Revived

I posted about the Chase Freedom card in October of last year, when they ran a 30,000 Ultimate Rewards bonus points offer ($300 cash back) after spending $500 within the first three months. The old link died mid-December, but it looks like a new working link for the same offer is back today. You can read a detailed analysis of the Chase Freedom card in my previous post.

In general, I would say this is one of the best cash back credit cards out there with no annual fee. You earn 5% cash back (5 UR points per dollar) on rotating categories that change every quarter (activation required each quarter), though this is limited to the first $1,500 in purchases within the bonus categories. All other purchases earn 1% cash back (1 UR point per dollar), with no limits on those earnings. For 2012, the categories are: 

January 1, 2012 – March 31, 2012 
      - Gas stations
      - Amazon.com 

April 1, 2012 – June 30, 2012
      - Grocery stores
      - Movie theaters

July 1, 2012 – September 30, 2012
      - Gas stations
      - Restaurants

October 1, 2012 – December 31, 2012
      - Hotels
      - Airlines
      - Best Buy
      - Kohl's

No word yet on when this offer will expire, so apply soon!
