Chase Freedom category bonus: Lowe’s and restaurants

Chase Freedom cardholders have something to look forward to this April, with 5 points/5% cash back at Lowe’s and restaurants. The payout is limited to the first $1,500 spend, but if you were to max it out each quarter, you’re looking at 30,000 points/$300 cash back. You can activate the bonus now and reap the rewards come April.

Chase Freedom Category Bonus Lowe's and Restaurants

I don’t know about you, but I did quite well with last quarter’s gas station category bonus. This quarter’s bonus is perfect since my family is undertaking a home improvement project. I was going to use the Ink Bold to buy Lowe’s/Home Depot gift cards for a 5 point payout, but since the Freedom card is offering the same 5 point/5% cash back payout at Lowe’s this quarter, that makes it so much easier.

The restaurant bonus is also a nice addition, putting the Sapphire card’s First Friday bonus to shame. Ironically enough, since I started working from home, I’ve been dining out more, so I’m looking forward to earning more than 2-3 points in that category.

What do you think of the Freedom’s most recent category bonus? Will you be maxing it out next quarter?
