Last year, we got back about $900. We load everything we can on it, expcept small merchants we're fond of, like the neighborhood diner, so they don't get stuck with the high Amex merchant fees. I'm guessing we'll be pushing a grand this year. I don't trust point systems, where the card company can change the value of the points at any time.

Chase cardmembers currently receiving promotional pricing, or Chase cardmembers with a history of only using their current or prior Chase card for promotional pricing offers are not eligible for a second Chase credit card with promotional pricing.</blockquote> That makes me thing that I should be eligible since I'm not in "<i>this</i> Rewards Program." My card gives a static 1% back and I've had it for years, so I'm pretty sure I also don't fall under the "currently receiving promotional pricing" clause. I think I may be clear to sign up... If I do, I'll let you know if it succeeded. The best I can find is:

I've thought about converting to one since the rewards are so much better, but I have not yet been able to figure out if a card holder can switch plans. Do you know? I'll keep looking and report back if I discover the answer. I already have a Chase card, but not a Freedom.
