The Chase Freedom 2Q bonus categories for 2025 have now been revealed and as of 15 March, registration is open. The bad news is that there are just two categories for this quarter, while the good news is that one of the two categories will probably be quite popular and should allow holders of Chase Freedom/Chase Freedom Flex® credit cards maximize their earnings this quarter.
Chase Freedom 2Q 2025 bonus categories
The registration website for the Chase Freedom quarterly bonus categories has now been updated and in the second quarter of 2025 (i.e between 1 April and 30 June 2025) the Chase Freedom Flex® credit card and the legacy Chase Freedom credit card will offer 5% cashback (or 5 points/dollar) on up to $1,500 of spending in the following categories:
- Amazon
- Select Streaming Services
Don’t forget that these quarterly bonus categories are in addition to the permanent bonus categories that the Chase Freedom Flex® credit card offers – Travel (booked through Chase), Drugstores & Dining) – so make sure you’re making the most of those as well.
Quick thoughts
Well, no one will be maximising the bonus points/cash back available in 2Q through whatever they’re paying for various streaming services (if you’re paying $500/month on such services you’re probably overpaying by a lot!), but I suspect that quite a few people will make the most of the fact that most Amazon purchases made using a Freedom card between 1 April and 30 June will earn 5% cash back or 5 points/dollar.
Not only does Amazon now seem to sell just about everything on the planet, but it also sells a very wide variety of gift cards, so even if you don’t usually spend $500/month with Amazon organically, you could choose to bring some spending forward (via the gift cards) to max out the bonuses available in 2Q (as I’m unlikely to get anywhere near the $1,500 spending limit organically, I may buy some Safeway gift cards towards the end of the quarter to make sure that I don’t leave too many points on the table).
You should find a full list of what will and will not qualify for this quarter’s bonuses here, so that’s the best place the check what spending will and will not will trigger the 2Q bonus (at the time of writing Chase hasn’t updated the page for 2Q but, hopefully, the update will appear later today).
Bottom line
The 2Q 2025 bonus categories for the Chase Freedom Flex® credit card and the legacy Chase Freedom credit card have now been published and include Amazon and select streaming services. Registration for these bonus earning opportunities will remain open through 14 June (here) and bonus points will be earned for spending in these categories between 1 April and 30 June 2025.
