Chase Freedom® Announces Q3 2026 5% Cash Back Categories: Gas Stations and EV Charging, Public Transit, Select Live Entertainment and United Way
Chase Freedom offers 5% cash back across activated categories perfect for summertime fun
Today, Chase announced that Freedom and Freedom Flex cardmembers can earn 5% cash back on gas stations and electric vehicle charging, public transit, select live entertainment and donations to United Way from July 1 through September 30, 2026 on up to $1,500 in combined purchases. The new categories help cardmembers earn rewards on summer travel and everyday activities, entertainment and charitable giving.
“When cardmembers earn 5% cash back on everyday purchases, like filling up the tank, hopping on the subway, or catching a live concert, it can feel really meaningful,” said Wittney Rachlin, General Manager of Chase Freedom. “That’s the idea behind our Q3 categories: we want to reward routine spending cardmembers are already doing this summer so they can put more toward the moments that make the season special. And with United Way as our charitable donations earn partner this quarter, they can give back and earn at the same time.”
With Chase Freedom, every transaction can give cardmembers more: cash back on every purchase and the freedom to redeem rewards however they like. Cardmembers have until September 14th, 2026, to activate these categories.
