Chase’s 5% Bonus Categories, Q2 2025: Amazon and Streaming

April showers bring May flowers and Chase Freedom’s rotating bonus categories.

From April 1 through June 30, 2025, Chase Freedom Flex® and Chase Freedom® cardholders can earn 5% cash back on up to $1,500 in combined category spending on Amazon and eligible streaming purchases. All other non-bonus category spending earns 1% cash back.

You must activate the bonus categories by June 14, 2025, to earn the elevated rate, and note that you can earn those bonus rewards retroactively.

Chase is also offering a "surprise" bonus category each quarter in 2025, as part of its 15-year celebration of offering rotating categories. So in addition to this quarter's rotating 5% categories, eligible cardholders who activate can also earn 5% cash back on eligible internet, cable and phone services from June 1 through June 30, 2025.
