Chase Freedom $100 Bonus Questions

Anonymous · ‎09-02-2014

Morning! Forgive me but I'm new to bonus offers, rewards etc., and have a couple questions. I've already exceeded the $500 spending requirement

Will the bonus show up in my account after the next statement? Which is in a couple days. If not how long does it usually take?

Does Chase send out an email alert once the bonus is available?

Is there an option to apply only a partial amount of the cash as a statement credit and save the rest?

Thanks!

Looks like 6-8 weeks from your closing qualifying statement. So could be 3 months.

If they do it like they did with my CSP bonus, you'll get it at the statement close. I put through the $3000 in the first month and my bonus points hit on my first closing statement.
