The Chase Freedom Flex calendar for 5% categories for January, February and March 2022 are Grocery Stores (excluding Target® and Walmart®) and eBay, according to the Chase Freedom Flex rewards calendar. Chase Freedom Flex gives 5% cash back on the first $1,500 spent in a new set of bonus categories each quarter, and the calendar shows what those categories are. It also has a link to “activate” the current quarter's bonus categories, as you won't be able to earn the 5% rate without doing so.   

2022 Chase Freedom Flex calendar for 5% categories:

• January - March: Grocery Stores (excluding Target® and Walmart®) and eBay
• April - June: To be announced
• July - September: To be announced
• October - December: To be announced

The Chase Freedom Flex 5% calendar is pretty straightforward and easy to use. But there are a few other things you should know about its features and protocol.  

Here's how the Chase Freedom Flex Calendar works:

• Each quarter's bonus categories are typically announced about a month in advance.
• Click on the footnote next to each category to see what purchases qualify.
• You can activate each quarter's bonus starting on the 15^th of the month before. The last day to activate is always the 14^th of the last month in the quarter.
• To activate Chase Freedom Flex bonus categories, click “Activate Now” on the calendar and enter your last name, the last 4 digits of your card number, and your zip code.
• The 5% bonus applies to your first $1,500 in bonus-category purchases each quarter (you'll get 1% after that).

Unfortunately, you can't see the whole year's cash back categories in advance. But you do get about a month's notice, and Chase is very transparent about the activation dates. Just be sure to activate the bonus categories each quarter. And read the fine print to see which purchases qualify for 5% cash back.  

The Chase Freedom Flex Refer a Friend program gives you a $100 cash back bonus for each friend who applies for a participating Chase Freedom card with your link and gets approved. The participating Chase Freedom credit cards are Chase Freedom Flex and Chase Freedom Unlimited®.
