Got my Freedom card today!!!!!!

Hi All..  I got my freedom card today(After 5 recon calls.. Thanks to Myfico). I immediately enrolled for the 5% bonus cashback. I have a question. this quarter chase gives bonus cashback for restaurants and movie theaters. Is that include fastfood like Mcdonalds and all the food places including cafeteria? and Movie theaters include booking tickets online in fandango and ticketnew?

Yes on the fast food, no info for Fandango. It's a good question and I hope someone else can answer it.

 

Congrats on your new card!!! Enjoy!

Very cool list, thanks for the link.

 

One thing that's got me confused though. It says Hastings Entertainment is an acceptable Movie place, but then under exclusions for Movies it says places that sell & rent videos. But Hastings is just that, so not sure on that one. I'm sure I could get that cleared up through CS, but just wanted to voice what I noticed.
