Credit Card Review - Chase Free Cash Reward
The Free Cash Rewards Platinum Visa® Card,
issued by Chase, is designed for those with very
good credit who would
like a card with a reward program offered.
Through the reward program, cardholders earn one
point for each dollar spent on general purchases
and for each dollar in interest applied to the account.
Cardholders are awarded 1,000 bonus points with
their first purchase. Each time the cardholder accrues
2,500 points they will receive either a $25 gift
check or their choice of a $25 gift certificate
from various merchants and retailers.
In addition to the reward program, cardholders
have access to common platinum benefits provided
by Chase.
For those who qualify, the card has a reasonably
low interest rate for purchases and balance transfers
in comparison with other reward cards. There is
also a 0% introductory rate for purchases and balance
transfers for twelve months with no annual fee.
Those who plan to occasionally carry a large revolving
balance may find doing so costly due to the "Two
Cycles Average Daily Balance" method used by
this credit card to determine finance charges, which
ends up costing more to maintain an occasional balance
as compared to the "Average Daily Balance"
method used by many credit card issuers.
Therefore, those who qualify for the lowest rate
offered and will take advantage of the rebate program,
will benefit most from what the Free Cash Rewards
Platinum Visa® Card has to offer.
