Pros

Besides, you will earn a cash sign-up bonus of which people get a $150 bonus after they spend $500 on purchases in the first three months the moment the account is opened.

Cons

It requires cardholders of Chase Freedom to opt into the bonus category each quarter to get the perks for the entire quarter. You cannot get the 5% cash back if you forget to do in that way. Meanwhile, you might earn more rewards with another card if you don’t spend much to maximize the bonus categories.
