Kinda funny how obvious this is a reaction to the Citi Custom Cash.

Does this stack on top of the +2% on dining or drugstores?

If so I'll be making a lot more trips to CVS for 11% back.

How?  I would think it was 3% for drug store + 5% for most common category, making 8%

---

1% base

2% drugstore category bonus

4% Q4 top category bonus

4% Q4 PayPal bonus (I pay with the app at checkout)

11% total

The Flex has 3% drugstore category, so it would be 12%

If anyone had a sizeable home improvement project they could order material/appliances online, PayPal would stack.

Any Travel reservations online would stack.

And anyone who regularly orders food online, this would also stack.

FFlex is already on my TO-DO list, but this certainly strengthens its weight....I hope Chase continues with these kind of promos...

And @JNA1 ........stop it.  I know what's going on in that head right now.

I can think about it all I want, but I'm sulking in the garden for quite a while yet! 😭🤷‍♂️😂

It is on the Chase website, but not in the individual account.

Not sure whether it counts Amazon as a top purchase.

Also, Paypal Key still gives comming soon and not available messages. I tried every possible way but no luck to get a PPK

---

I still don't see it.

Where is it on thier site?

No, it's 1% base + 2% bonus, and the rules make it clear that the base is only counted once, so the (theoretical) calculation is right.

@MrDisco99 does Paypal + drugstore stack anyway?  That is, if you buy something at CVS with Paypal, do you get 5 or 7%?  You can just do a trial purchase before committing to making drug stores your biggest category!

Saw this today restaurant spend of up to $1500 is going on this card for 7% back then transferred to Sapphire as always

But you got the awesome Affinity card and CL. Is that an app you are using there?

[ChargedUp]

Well, if Chase is going to play like that, I may just have to stop at a branch on the way home from work to see if I have any hidden offers 😁

If not, I just might PC my Freedom Visa over. Like others, I've left it be for Costco use, but if Chase is going to make CFF into a Custom Cash hybrid, then I'll definitely get more value from it year round than I would for the one quarter it gets the Costco swipes instead of AOD.

[TSlop]

I suppose this is more incentive for me to switch to the CFF from the CF since I don't see this on the CF.

[xenon3030]

Is there any information on whether this offer would be available only for CFF but not for the old Chase Freedom (CF)?

CFF has a small SUB (~200$) but it gives 5% on groceries in the first year (excluding Walmart/Target). Instead of PC, it might be better to apply for CFF directly.
