chase freedom rewards classification

[Anonymous]

is there any way online to see your chase freedom history and if certain merchants fall under the bonus categories?  i called customer service and the best help they can give is that the points show up in 6-8 weeks, but they gave no indication that my "burger king" purchase today will be reviewable as a "restaurant" when the points come in 6-8 weeks later.  does anyone know?

How many points can u possibly get from a burger king purchase?

I'm 99.9% sure that my BK purchases have qualified as restaurants for Freedom. I know I checked that fast food was included in "restaurants and dining" when the category started, and my rewards definitely indicate that my fast food purchases are receiving 5%, but I haven't actually calculated out just the BK charges to check them.

And, dalebb, that $0.25 each time adds up!

it was really meant to be a hypothetical example.  i just wanted to figure out how to know if a purchase counts towards 5% or not so that the next time i'm there i know which card to use.

There is no way to check on your own other than by asking the merchant how they are coded and then asking Chase if that code falls under the 5% category.

Merchants use codes to show that they are restaurants.  If Chase Freedom works anything like my Discover More, they should accept Burger King as a "restaurant."  Discover accepted McDonalds and Roy Rogers as "restaurants" for me.

Does anyone know if Chase will have some kind of tracking system, showing which transactions earn how many points? I always receive less points than i should.

Nope, and you probably just think things are categorized differently than they really are.  Walmart and Target, for example, are not considered grocery stores although you can buy groceries from them.
