Chase Freedom Sign-up Bonus

[Anonymous]

Hey all,

I applied and was approved for a Chase Freedom on November 17th. I signed up during the spend $500; get $200 back promotion. Today is the end of 30 days. I have $399.26 posted to my account with $148.29 "pending". So I am over the $500 spend. Will this still qualify even though the final chunk is still pending?

You should be fine, since technically the spend was met before the period ended. The transactions haven't fully cleared but you have spent the money.

Next time though I'd advise not cutting it so close. Today is February 17th as you know. If there's any way to meet the spend sooner next time, I'd do it. Save yourself from having to worry about it since you are right up at the end of the deadline.
