Chase Freedom cardmembers can now access Points Boost offers for more value when redeeming points on select hotel bookings through Chase Travel

WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Chase today announced new travel benefits and features on the Chase Freedom Flex card, including no foreign transaction fees on international purchases. Chase Freedom cardmembers can now also access Points Boost offers when redeeming points on select hotel bookings through Chase Travel. Together with the 5% cash back that Freedom Flex cardmembers already earn on Chase Travel purchases, these updates deliver even more value when cardmembers book and travel. The card’s popular rotating 5% cash back categories continue to help cardmembers maximize their everyday spending.

“Our cardmembers want rewards that fit their lives, from everyday purchases to their next trip,” said Wittney Rachlin, General Manager of Chase Freedom. “The new travel benefits make Freedom Flex even more versatile while keeping what cardmembers love about the card.”

MORE TRAVEL VALUE, NEW CARD FEATURES AND DESIGN

Starting today, Freedom Flex cardmembers can make purchases abroad or from international online merchants without paying foreign transaction fees. Chase Freedom cardmembers can also access rotating Points Boost offers when redeeming points on select hotels booked through Chase Travel, with Ultimate Rewards points worth up to 10% more on these select bookings¹.

Additionally, cardmembers can now preview 5% cash back categories one quarter in advance in the Chase Mobile app, helping them plan purchases and maximize rewards on everyday spending. Q1 2027 categories are top streaming services and grocery stores (excluding Walmart and Target). For the first time, grocery stores will be featured in consecutive quarters, Q4 2026 and Q1 2027, giving cardmembers more time to earn cash back on a meaningful everyday category (spend cap applies).

The Freedom Flex card also debuts new card art with a deeper blue background and a refined, upward-sloping stardust graphic. The sleeker, modern design is available to both new and existing cardmembers.

To celebrate these updates, for a limited time new Freedom Flex cardmembers can earn a $250 welcome offer after spending $500 on purchases in the first three months.

Points earned with your card are worth $0.01 each when redeemed through Chase Travel, as outlined in your Ultimate Rewards Agreement. That means 100 points are worth $1, but with a Points Boost promotion 100 points could be worth up to $1.10 for Freedom cards. We may offer Points Boost promotions on select hotel accommodations. Points Boost offers are indicated by the Points Boost tag and rocket icon. Points Boost offers are promotional and are refreshed periodically. Offers may change with the refresh.

The Points Boost promotions you see within search results and at checkout are based on the card you choose in the card selector.
