The Chase Free Cash Rewards(SM) Visa® Card, issued by Chase, is designed for those with very good credit who would like a card that offers a cash back rewards program.
Through the rewards program, cardholders earn one point for each dollar spent on all purchases. Cardholders are also awarded 1,000 bonus points with their first purchase. Each time the cardholder accrues 2,500 points, they will receive either a $25 gift check or a $25 gift certificate from their choice of various merchants and retailers. The amount of points you can earn is limited to 60,000 points per year.
In addition to the rewards program, cardholders have access to common platinum benefits provided by Chase, such as auto rental insurance, extended warranties for purchases, and travel accident insurance.
For those who qualify, the card has a reasonable interest rate for purchases and balance transfers in comparison with other reward cards. There is also a 0% introductory rate on purchases and balance transfers for up to the first twelve billing cycles and no annual fee.
Therefore, those who qualify for the lowest rate offered and will take advantage of the rewards program will benefit most from what the Chase Free Cash Rewards(SM) Visa® Card has to offer.
