Chase has released the 5%/5x categories on their Freedom and Freedom Flex cards for the third quarter of 2024, up to $1,500 in purchases:
- Gas stations and EV charging
- Select live entertainment and movie theaters
Gas is always useful, and you might also be able to buy gift cards inside some gas stations and similar convenience stores.

Would be a perfect stack with Upside’s stack-able promo codes for gas. I got $50 cash back on a $62 fill-up yesterday. Even better if you could get the $20 referral bonus.

Dang! How would you get a 50.back on a 62 fill up? I just get 50% off from the gas price usually… Care to explain please?

Stacked all codes in the DoC upside post, and most of them worked. And I also had extra 15c/gal off offer in my account.

Saw this on nerdwallet: The select live entertainment category includes most things you’d buy tickets for, including sporting events, zoos and aquariums, concerts, theaters, museums, amusem*nt parks, circuses and carnivals. You’ll also earn bonus rewards at eligible ticketing agencies.

Gas and EV are weak categories. I have multiple cards that are 5% year round in these categories (PenFed Cash, Comenity AAA).
While Chase UR points are more valuable than straight cashback, I’m not going to change habits and confuse P2.

“Confuse P2”
My P2 is about to lop my head off wondering which cards to use when.

My nephew printed out a little cheat sheet for his spouse and made it her background on her phone.
I gave up with P2 on my end. I now just switch cards in their wallet for the catch all at the time. It’s keeping divorce at bay.

With this chase gas category, fuel purchases made at costco gas stations qualify for 5% back?

Flex card is a MasterCard and can’t be used to buy Costco gas.

Your Costco Citi card already pays 4 percent back on gasoline, so you are gaining very little.

Fred For me, UR points are better than the Citi cash back that only pays out once a year. Plus, not every has a Citi Costco card.

But, as noted above, MasterCard is not accepted at Costco, so Costco will only work for bonus UR points if you still have the original Freedom (non-Flex) card, which is a Visa, because Freedom Flex is a MasterCard.

I have my original Freedom, it’s my original Chase card 🙂 For me, UR points are better.
I also have the Flex, which is in its first year of 5% for Groceries/Gas so it’ll be 10% this quarter. But even still, Costco at 5% is usually a better deal in my area.

Isn’t Costco gas really just 2% because the other 2% is from Costco executive membership which you would earn with any other card. So using the Freedom visa would be much better

It is 4% at Costco as well as other gas stations. Gas, tobacco, liquor in some states, stamps, Costco cash cards do not qualify for the executive 2%.

I don’t have a costco citi card. But out of 3 freedom cards, one is still a visa :).
Normally I get the costco gift/cash cards (to use for fuel) when warehouse club is a category, but that hasn’t been in a while.

7-11 codes as “gas” if I am correct? That will be useful for my spend. I usually use my USB AR, so cannot confirm it, fully.
Edit. Please disregard, already explained in the linked Doc’s post

I use Shell gift cards, which I get at a discount of at least 10% (yes, I know Shell stations in some places are overpriced, but I’m near one that’s competing with Costco). Most stations that have different prices for cash and credit charge the cash price for gift cards. So gas is a useless category for me.

Duplicates CITI DIVIDEND, but keep an eye on CHASE offers which frequently include Chevron and therefore would provide a good stacking opportunity.

The July 1 start date of this 5-percent category overlaps with current Chase Offers on my Freedom card for fuel purchases at Fred Meyer, Arco, and Chevron.
