Do this now: activate Chase Freedom Q1 2016 bonus categories

When it rains it pours. Just as Discover it, Citi Dividend, and US Bank Cash+ bonus categories are now available for registration, so are the Chase Freedom bonus categories for the first quarter of 2016.

The bonus categories for the first quarter of 2016 are purchases at "Gas Stations" and "Local Commuter Transportation."

If you live in or are able to travel to cities where 7-Eleven store locations are both coded as gas stations and sell PIN-enabled Visa gift cards, then this is a great opportunity to pick up Ultimate Rewards points on the cheap. If you don't, then you can at least earn some bonus Ultimate Rewards points on your gas purchases or by reloading your local transportation cards or buying monthly passes.

In any case, register now, before you forget.
