Changes Coming to Chase Freedom Exclusives Program

Chase, Reward Cards

In a move that will likely upset many long-term Chase Freedom cardholders, Chase is in the process of making changes to its Chase Exclusives program. The program–which is no longer available to new cardmembers–currently allows those with a Chase Freedom card and a Chase checking account to earn an additional bonus of 10% on all purchases (excluding 5% rotating category purchases) plus 10 bonus points per transaction. That’s in addition to the normal 1 point per $1 spent that you would earn on regular spending.

This bonus structure made the Chase Freedom the hands-down best credit card to use for small dollar transactions. For instance, a $1 purchase would earn 11 points–1 point for the dollar spent, plus another 10 bonus points for the transaction. Unfortunately, Chase will soon be replacing this rewards program in favor of a simpler structure, though far less lucrative on smaller transactions.

BofA Introduces New Credit Card with Rewards of Up to $120/Year for Paying On Time

Bank of America

BankAmericard Better Balance Rewards CardThe concept of a credit card that rewards you for paying your balance on time is not entirely new. For instance, the old Discover Motiva card rebated 5% of your current month’s interest when you paid on time and the Citi Forward for College Students card will reduce your purchase APR when you pay on time 3 billing periods in a row. But those incentives pale in comparison to the rewards that Bank of America is offering on its new BankAmericard Better Balance Rewards credit card. The new card will pay you a cash rebate of up to $120 a year, as long as you pay your monthly bill on time and pay more than the monthly minimum each time.
