Freedom always has a $100 for $500 spend. The limited time bonus can pretty much end whenever but if you apply right after it ends, Chase may still honor it. Otherwise, they'll probably bring it back. I think last year, they offered it in spring and then fall-ish/winter so I'm sure some form of it will be back.

Thanks! That makes my decision for me.

Well actually it goes up to $200 once in a while. Have you fully evaluated all of your options? You could get $200 from BOA travel rewards, you could get $200 from AARP dining card and have a 3% card.
Also the bank of america BBR would give you 100-120 a year, year after year...so theres that....
If you can afford to spend a grand in 90 days, I would apply for the freedom, and then app for the AARP, chase is always 1 or 2 inquiries, and chances are the two apps would merge.

Great info, thanks! I can only afford to spend a grand in 90 days once per year when I purchase a year of car insurance at once, plus siphoning bills and other spending through that as much as possible for that time period. That's why I was wondering about the bonuses and how long they lasted. It'd be cool if the timing worked out to catch a $200 bonus! And excellent tip on apping both at once to merge them and grabbing both bonuses. This is why I love it here!!!
Also thanks for the heads up on the BBR card, I somehow missed that one and I'll definitely be investigating.
