Hey there. I've done lots of changes with my relatinship with Chase this year and one of the first ones was product-changing the Freedom Unilimited to a Freedom back in April as I'd already plowed through my 3x on everything SUB. The grocery store category has been a boon this quarter for obvious reasons. When does Chase typically announce the following quarter? We're entering the second week of June and I was just wondering what the typical time frame was. Thanks!
LOL, you're not the first in here to comment on that. I relocated to Olympia, WA after having lived in Portland for 20 years. Right after I bought my house up here, my car decided to die (I'd had my car for 15+ years). I bought a new car and really wanted to finance through my existing credit union, but their rates weren't competive at that time. There is a local credit union here called OBEE which is short for "O.B." or Olympia Brewery. It is a credit union that was originally established for their employees many years back but now is just a thriving local c.u. They fi8nanced my auto loan and then auto-approved me for one of my very first REAL credit cards. I've kept it ever since. I was born here but raised in Colorado and would come here in the summer to see my father who still lives here. I used to tour the brewery with my dad as a kid (don't worry, I wasn't drinking) so I have fond memories of the Brewery (it's closed now unf.). Anyway, Obee's cards are all modeled after the beers that they used to make. There is a Pabst card, an Olympia beer card, a Rainier beer card and there was a Schlitz card but there was some issue with the copyright so they discontinued it.

Or anything else that I have no use for, because that's the story of Freedom and me.
😂 I have the same issue with Discover. Discover likes to do 5% back at stores that I already have a 5% card for (Amazon, Target, and wholesale clubs being the usual suspects).

A Pabst card??? I gotta find a way into this CU!
I've been wondering when Freedom was going to show the new categories as well. As of yesterday when I signed in, there was nothing new. I know Chase seems to wait until the last minute to break the news, but why the secrecy? 
Discover puts it out in the open from the beginning of each year.
