As a new user, it won't apply to you, but in the past, if you had a checking account with Chase, each purchase with the freedom gave you an additional 10% of the bonus, (so a total of 1.1%) PLUS 10 cents. This was great for very small purchases, so for a $1 purchase, normal freedom gives 1 cent back, with 10+10 you get 11.1 cents back (i.e. 11.1% return). This led some to push to the limit (e.g. someone with a bill of 650 PAGES of transactions, each transaction earning 10c + 1.1%. Chase closed the card!)
This is no longer available, and all grandfathered users will be off it by the end of 2013, replaced with a 10% anniversary bonus. For some, this can be better but most will miss it.
