How do I get my Chase Freedom login info?

You can easily activate your new Chase credit card online or by phone. The Chase credit card activation number is 800-432-3117. Simply call, enter the last four digits of your card number and follow the prompts from there. To activate your card online, just go to Chase’s page for verifying receipt of your card… read full answer and either log into your account or create login credentials. All you need to create a Chase online account is your Social Security number as well as your card, account or application number. Once you’re signed in, you’ll be able to verify your new card, set account preferences and more.

It only takes a minute or two to activate a Chase credit card, and you’ll be able to make purchases with your card as soon as you do. If you don’t activate your Chase credit card, you may run into problems trying to use it.

By the way, the procedures will be the same no matter which Chase credit card you get. And you have many attractive offers to consider, including the Chase Freedom® and Chase Freedom Unlimited® cards, Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card and Chase Sapphire Reserve®.

There are a few Chase Freedom bonus offers: $200 for spending $500 in the first 3 months, 5% cash back in specific quarterly spending categories, and a $100 referral bonus. Plus, you earn 5% cash back on groceries for the first year, up $12,000 spent.

The bonus categories eligible for 5% cash back change every quarter. Cardholders must activate new categories in order to be eligible for the quarterly bonuses. To do so, visit the Chase Freedom activation page and click the “… read full answerActivate your 5%” button. Some examples of previous categories include department stores, wholesale clubs, gas stations, drugstores and grocery stores.

The referral bonus rewards you for every friend referred who applies for the Freedom card and is approved. You’ll earn $100 (10,000 points) per referral, up to $500 (50,000 points) per year. To get started, go to the Chase Freedom “Refer a Friend” page and enter your last name, zip code and last 4 digits of your card number.

The Chase Freedom $200 initial bonus will post to your account around 6-8 weeks after you qualify. Any 5% cash back rewards earned will show up in your account on the same statement as your qualifying purchases, in most cases. Rewards for purchases made 1-2 weeks before the statement closing date may appear on the following month’s statement.

Chase Freedom also used to have an authorized user bonus. It offered $25 (2,500 points) for adding an authorized user in the first 3 months your account was open, as long as you also made a purchase in the first 3 months. That bonus is no longer available.

By the way, it’s also worth noting that while the Chase Freedom bonus rewards are advertised as cash back, they’re actually points that you can trade for cash back or travel at a rate of 1 cent per point.
