Is there a Chase Freedom Unlimited referral bonus?

Yes, there is a Chase Freedom Unlimited® referral bonus and it is worth up to $500 cash back per year. Cardholders can earn 10,000 bonus points, with a redemption value of $100, for every referral who is approved for the card. The limit is five referrals in a calendar year. The bonus is available to cardholders with an open Chase Freedom Unlimited® account in good standing.

To send a referral, you’ll first need to register online via Chase's Refer-A-Friend page. You can also register through the Chase mobile app. Enter your name, zip code and the last 4 digits of your Chase Freedom Unlimited® card number. Then, click “Get Started.” You will receive a personalized link that you can forward to friends through text or e-mail. You can also share the link on social media.

Once someone you refer has been approved, the bonus will post to your account within 8 weeks. The bonus will appear on your Chase Freedom Unlimited® statement as a “Refer-A-Friend” bonus.

You can only make referrals for the Chase card that you have – Chase Freedom Unlimited®, in this case. And whomever you refer must apply for the Chase Freedom Unlimited® card via the link you give them in order for you to receive the referral bonus. Chase will not disclose which of your referrals have applied, nor will they notify you of a referral’s application status. There’s no bonus if a referral is approved for a different Chase card.
