Chase Freedom Deteriorating

Chase Freedom credit card seems to be getting worse. For a while you get 3% on your top 3 categories, 1% on remaining, and every $200 you accumulate, you get to request a $250 check. Not long ago, they took away the extra $50 check benefit, and the way the top 3 categories are calculated. Now, they can’t even do their math correctly! I looked at last month’s statement and I earned a measly $1.30 for rewards even though I charged over $900 on this credit card! Even at a flat one percent I would expect at least $9 in rewards. Needless to say, I called in and they would get back to me in 5-7 business days. Had I not called, it would have just gone unnoticed…

The morale of the story is, don’t trust banks to “do the right thing”. Always verify all your bank and credit card statements!
