Plain facts

  • Who gets approvedGood credit, around 670+. Typically wants good-to-excellent credit history (estimate; issuer does not publish a score).
  • 5x through Chase Travel is not countedTravel booked through Chase Travel earns 5 points a dollar. That is a booking channel, not a category the questions can see, so the number above is a floor.
  • Streaming and online groceries are not countedChase pays 3 points a dollar on top streaming services and on online grocery orders. Online groceries are part of a category, not the whole of one, so counting them here would overstate what most people would actually earn.
  • A gas rate we have seen but not confirmedChase's page shows 3 points a dollar on gas, EV charging and vacation homes, marked new. We could only read that on one page, and we do not raise a card's value on a single reading. The number above leaves it out until we can check it twice.
  • The issuer’s terms governRates, fees and bonus conditions are set by Chase and change without notice. Confirm the current offer before you apply.
  • Where these numbers came fromCollected by hand from Chase’s own published terms, last verified August 27, 2026. An automatic check re-reads that page every day. On September 4, 2026 all 10 of the figures it watches here were still printed there.
