Editorial take: Chase Freedom Unlimited
The best no-fee cash back card in the Chase family. Stack it with a Sapphire and your cash back converts into transferable Ultimate Rewards points, a free upgrade most people miss. Note: Cell phone protection is on Freedom Flex, not Freedom Unlimited.
Common questions
- Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, BJ's One Mastercard or Chase Freedom Unlimited?
- The Chase Freedom Unlimited has a public bonus ($200 bonus, worth roughly $200), while the BJ's One Mastercard doesn't advertise one right now.
- Is the BJ's One Mastercard's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the Chase Freedom Unlimited?
- The BJ's One Mastercard has no annual fee, so the question is whether the Chase Freedom Unlimited's $0 fee is justified by its perks. If you'll use enough of the Chase Freedom Unlimited's benefits to clear $0 in value annually, it's worth it; otherwise stick with the BJ's One Mastercard.
- Can I have both the BJ's One Mastercard and Chase Freedom Unlimited?
- Yes, since they're from different issuers (Capital One and Chase) the application rules don't conflict. Many points enthusiasts hold both, they pair well when one earns flexible bank points and the other earns a different currency.
- Should I get the BJ's One Mastercard or the Chase Freedom Unlimited first?
- Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. BJ's One Mastercard: no published min spend. Chase Freedom Unlimited: $500 in 3 months. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
