In reply to Rachael Z. My gut feeling is that we will see 20k on the Freedom card. Not going to bet we will see 30k in the next year. Just a gut feeling, no inside information at all.

Just wanted to add – while the sign-up bonus for the Freedom is low, there’s not much reason to hope it will ever get back up to the once 30,000 bonus. Lucky offers up some good insight on this front – http://boardingarea.com/onemileatatime/2013/05/15/will-the-chase-freedom-ever-have-a-higher-sign-up-bonus-again/

I’d even venture to guess it could go down to zero eventually (eeek!) with the popularity of the highly profitable 5x categories every quarter.

So this may in fact be the best time to get a Freedom with the opportunity to earn some referral bonuses (to make up for the poor sign-up bonus) for someone who’d make use of the 5x bonus categories.

But for people who already have a Sapphire to try to cash in on referrals, yeah, I wouldn’t scramble to go out and get a Freedom until/unless you think you’ll manage to max out referrals on that card. But I definitely think the Freedom is a better card than just the regular Sapphire (not Preferred).

Hey TBB, use my referral link: https://www.chasereferafriend.com/ 🙂

P.S. that is just a generic page where you can enter either the Freedom, CS, or CSP card info.
