Chase Exclusives with Your Chase Freedom

Chase Exclusives with Your Chase Freedom


If you use the Chase Freedom credit card, Chase Exclusives can make the card much more lucrative for small purchases.  For example:

I walked into Dunkin' Donuts this morning (I got a $5 gift certificate from Aspen Dental - Thanks Yossi!) and I only had $1.59 left on my card.  My coffee cost $1.73 so I had to pay the extra $0.13.  It was an easy choice which card to use - Chase Freedom.  Here's why:

With Chase Exclusives you get:

- Every purchase, no matter how small, gives you 10 extra bonus points.  Even if you only spend $0.13, like me, you will still get 10 extra points.

- You get a 10% bonus for all of your purchases.  For example, if you spend $10, you will get 10 points as a base (1 point per $1).  You will get another 10 points because you get 10 points per transaction.  Then you will get 1 more point as a 10% bonus (10% of 10 points = 1 point).

Therefore, whenever a purchase is $10 or less, I use my Chase Freedom.


Keep in mind that when you spend money in the 5% categories, you will get the 10% bonus on the 1% points, not the additional 4%.


How do I get Chase Exclusives?

You are automatically enrolled in Chase Exclusives if you have a Chase Checking account.


How can I get it free?

There are three ways to get a Chase Plus checking account for free.

  1. Have $1,500 average balance per month 
  2. Monthly direct deposits of $500 per month
  3. $5,000 of deposits and investments in linked Chase Accounts
Otherwise, it is a $12 monthly fee, which would not be worth it just for the bonus.

American Express Prepaid Card - $75 Free!

Edit 5: It seems as though American Express has decided to not send out any gift cards this time as many people have reported that they didn't get theirs in the mail.  The good news is that if you call them, they will credit your prepaid card with the promo money.  

Ask them to credit the primary cardholder's card all $75 since the gift cards are supposed to be ordered to the purchaser of the cards, not the receivers of the cards.  Instead of 3 $25 gift cards, you will have 1 prepaid card with $75 which is a little easier.

Edit 4: For those who live in Buffalo, the ATM in Wegmans on Alberta has an ATM that charges a $1 fee.  Instead of loading $200, load $201 and take all of it out of the ATM and deposit it back into your checking account.  Assuming you have a credit card that gets you 1%, you will get $2 back for spending the $200 on a credit card and then you won't have money tied up in prepaid cards!


Edit 3: Only a few more days left. Ends August 31st.  If you start a serve account ($25 promotion - you can use these prepaid cards to get your $25 bonus) and 4 of your six cards are under you and your spouses names, you can combine all of those cards into your serve account, leaving you with just the serve card and two more prepaid cards.

Edit 2: The deal is back. Even if you got the promotion last time, you are eligible again as long as you order new cards and load $200 on them! 
American Express Prepaid Card

Edit 1:  I have received my $25 gift cards in the mail! 

American Express Prepaid Card
American Express Giftcards
That's a 12.5% return on your money!


Here is how to do it:


  1. Click on the Link to American Expres
  2. Click on "get your card now"
  3. Add in the name and address of the person you are getting the card for (it could be yourself) in this screen.  If you are buying one for someone else, add their name and address.  On the next screen you can still get it shipped to your own address, even if you are buying it with someone else's name.
  4. At the next screen you will need a funding source.  If you have a verified savings or checking account, that will work, otherwise you will have to verify an account at this stage.
  5. You should have ordered your card!
  6. If you want to order a card for someone else (your spouse or anyone else), do the same process, but you should signed in to your American Express Prepaid account before you click on the link to make the process easier (you won't need to reverify the funding source).
  7. Your spouse can order cards for themselves and you as well.  If you have troubling toggling between one account and other (it keep bringing you back to your account even though you have logged into your spouses account), use a new browser and it should work.




Each account holder can get one card for themselves with their own name on it and an additional two cards with other people's names and qualify for another $25 for each additional card for a total of $75.

You can "buy" for the other 2 people who don't live with you and have AMEX send all the cards to the billing address (your address), use them yourself and keep all the money yourself.

You need to be 13 years old to get a card.

The deal ends on August 30th.

American Express Giftcards

It takes about 6 week for the $25 gift card to come in the mail.

You can make an ATM withdrawal once a month of up to $400 for free so don't actually have to spend any money as long as you do the withdrawal after you get your gift card.  Many grocery stores will allow you to take out money for free when you are making a purchase (as long as you are using your card as a debit card - ie hit the debit button, not the credit button)


Keep in mind that every prepaid card you get means more free redbox rentals because each coupon code works for every card you own!

Serve - Spend $20 Get $10 Back

Serve Credit - Spend $20 and get $10 Back



I got an email (at least four others got the same email ) from Serve that if I spend $20 on my serve account by the end of November, I will get a $10 credit.  No sign up necessary, but only for those who got an email so check your inboxes and your spam if you are a serve member and didn't get an email.


I honestly don't know how American Express makes money, but here's hoping that they keep throwing more free money our way!

Once you get the $10 credit, you can immediately withdraw the money back into your checking account.


If you don't have a serve account, you can sign up between now and December 31st and get a $25 credit (without spending anything).  Serve is a prepaid card so there is no credit check or income verification required.


Thank you YP and MW for the tip.

Serve Prepaid Card from American Express - Load $25 and Get $25!

Update - Alive again, but new serve accounts only.  Expires December 31st.


Serve Prepaid Card from American Express - Load $25 and Get $25! - Expires September 30, 2012


The best part is that once you verify your checking account and you load $25 onto your card they credit the $25 the same day and you can withdraw your money back to your checking account for free immediately!

One bonus per new account.  You can get one for you and another for your spouse or anyone else in your family who is over 18.

This is not a credit card!  You don't give your full full Social Security Number and there are no credit checks.  This is will not affect your credit score!

You can load money with a credit card, but that isn't free.  Use your checking account.


Here's how to do it

  1. Click on this link
  2. Click on "sign up to get started"
  3. Put in your info.  When you get to the next screen make sure you follow the directions for the password.  If you do it wrong you will get a "template error" that doesn't mention anything about the password not meeting the requirements
  4. Once you set up your account verify your checking account for at least one user.  You will need to do this to withdraw your funds for free.  You can either choose the option of instant verification or through trial verification.  
  5. Start over for any additional accounts
  6. From your serve account, send all your money to one account (all you need is an email address) and accept the money to that account and you can with draw the money once it has posted

Note: You can't load money on two account with same checking account.  It won't work.  You can load one with a checking account and then another with a separate checking account or debit card.  Once you have gotten both bonuses, transfer all the money to the account with the verified checking account and withdraw.

I got my bonus money within 20 minutes, but it can take up to 30 days.


Here are the Terms and Conditions:

Offer expires September 30, 2012 and is not available to existing Serve account holders or any person that has previously canceled his or her Serve account. To receive the $25 from Serve, you must open a new Serve account (subject to approval) and add $25 or more, which must post to your new Serve account on or before September 30, 2012. In some instances, it may take several days for added funds to post to your account, so please allow sufficient time for that process to occur. Serve will provide a one-time credit to your Serve account of $25 within thirty (30) days of you satisfying the above requirements. Funds loaded via person-to-person send/receive money transactions will not satisfy the account funding requirements. Limit one (1) $25 credit per new Serve account. Subaccounts are not eligible for the credit.  Offer subject to change or cancellation at any time and cannot be combined with any other offer(s).


Thank you J Combs!

Credit Card Late Fee Reversal

Credit Card Late Fee Reversal - No Big Deal

In the last year, I have opened up many, (probably?) too many credit credits.  I usually only open up a new card when the rewards scheme is significantly better or when the sign up bonus is too tough to pass up.

Whenever I sign up for a new card I make sure to set up automatic payments so that I never get a late fee.

I got pretty lucky a few months back and I was able to get a $400 sign up bonus for the Bank of America Cash Rewards cards (expired - sorry) even though I already had the same exact card.


Unfortunately, I thought I had signed up for automatic payments, but I forgot!

I also always get statements sent in the mail, otherwise I won't look at them.  When I saw my statement for this card I had a $25 late fee!  I hate late fees.  You lose extra money and it hurts your credit.


It's important to know that these fees can almost always be reversed if you catch them in time.  


I called last night to pay the $500 bill (why would I spend more than necessary to the get the bonus).  Once that bill is posted, I confirmed that I can call up again and have the fee reversed.  This has happened a handful of times to me and I have always been able to get the fee reversed.  You can usually even do it via email from inside your account.


Some companies will even allow fees to be reversed months and years later if it only happened once.  Just call and find out.

American Express Small Business Big Break - $20 Credits

American Express Small Business Big Break - $20 Credits

Update 2:  Today is the last day to use your cards so buy whatever you want at this point.    You need to have registered your cards previously.  Sign up period is over.  There is very little of value online that you can buy, but according to comment 114 on dansdeals, 800eichlers.com works!  You can buy gift cards at $20 increments and then combine them into one larger purchase. Unfortunately, you have to pick it up at the store or it is $10 shipping each.  If anyone is going, can you pick up my 4 gift cards ;)


Dan also reported that you can donate $20 to Chabad of North Fulton and you will get the credit back.


On slickdeals, on the first page you can find a couple other sites that will work.  Nothing to go crazy about.  Good luck everyone!

Keep in mind that in many promotions, AMEX will email you immediately.  It is not true for this one.  I got an email almost 36 hours later.  

Update: I have now registered all 4 of my American express cards for all 5 cities (or $400 free).  Unfortunately, I was not able to register any authorized users.  Hopefully, we can find a site that sells $25 amazon gift cards or $25 visa gift cards and really get free money!

American Express is at it again! You can get $20 credits for spending $20 or more (i.e. - free money) in a number of locations.  

This will work when the site has an online site that processes its transactions through the correct zip code, but wait until a site is verified, unless you want to take a risk.  

You can register now, but you need to spend the money from 9/29-10/07

American Expres is calling it the Big Break for Small Businesses.  

Registration is limited so sign up all of your American Express cards now!  In the past, this has worked for every card you have and even for authorized users as well.

You need to register for each city separately for each card.

Also, Small Business Saturday is coming up on November 24th.  American Express hasn't announced what they will do this year, but last year they gave a $25 credit for spending $25 at any small business anywhere on that day.

You can buy gift cards to any store you want (including local grocery and gas stations) and use them throughout the year.
