Q2 2016: 5% on Warehouse Clubs with Chase Freedom

If you shop at warehouse clubs (eg BJ’s, Sam’s Club, etc), and you have a Chase Freedom credit card, their 2nd quarter (4/1 to 6/30 in 2016) 5% cashback promotion includes purchases at some warehouse clubs. This is capped at $1500 per card for the whole quarter. Warehouse clubs have limited camera and photo selection, but if they happen to have any cameras and lenses you want/need, then that’s an extra 5% for you to spend in the future. If you have multiple cards, and camera purchases over $1500, you can split the purchase between two cards (if possible).

You have to manually opt-in for this promotion at the Chase website or using the 1-click reminder emails (if you signed up for those). You have until mid-June to retroactively activate it, but if you activate now, you will earn the rewards now as opposed to two months later. Or you may forget.

PS: the Chase pages mention BJ and Sam’s Club by name. They do not mention Costco. I do not know if Costco is not mentioned simply because the other ones may be paying to be featured or not. To be certain, try a small purchase first or contact the Chase customer service. I don’t have a Costco membership so I cannot test it ~ you will know I have a Costco membership when the prizes for blog contests are 100pks of socks and toilet paper 😉
