Ah ok thanks because when I signed up it says this: 

  • FOR LIMITED TIME ONLY: earn a $200 Bonus after you spend $500 on purchases in your first 3 months from account opening.

 

Sounded it wasn't going to be 20,000 points

It's because Freedom UR points are simply worth a cent each. They don't change until transfered to a transfer card like CSP, Bold, etc.

So when the points post you can apply as a $200 statement credit, ask for a check and some other options.

When i log in this is what it shows me for options:

 

Redeem for Gift Cards

Get Cash Back Rewards

Use Rewards at Amazon.com

 

I haven't actually done any of these things yet because my points just posted and i expect a lot more soon, so i'm waiting.

Right, you won't see anything else until you moved the UR points to a CSP, Bold, etc.

mefi.pngmefic.pngsee the difference in CSP UR portal (top) and Freedom Ur portal (bottom) - they're marketed two seperate ways.
