There’s so much competition in the credit card industry right now that banks are offering all sorts of perks and bonuses for signing up for a new account with them. Some banks will offer you a lower interest rate initially, others will provide you with some sort of gift, and some have even resorted to giving cash bonuses to new account holders. Chase has been aggressively marketing their “Chase Freedom” credit card and are now offering a $100 bonus to anyone who signs up for the account.

Chase’s Freedom card has been one of the best rewards cards available if you’re not going for airline miles or gasoline rewards. Most rewards cards will give you 1% back across the board, whereas Chase will give you 3% at gas stations, grocery stores and fast food restaurants. Chase also offers a deal where you can get larger bonuses on certain stores online. I recently received a 2% bonus when ordering my new computer from NewEgg.com.

The card has no annual fee to speak of and a grace period of 20 days. The one down-side is that the interest rate is a bit higher than what you’ll find amongst a lot of consumer cards right now, but that’s not an issue if you pay off your balance each month. The rate they are currently offering is 17.49% variable, and it could be higher if you have don’t have a great credit score.

Here’s the link for the $100 Bonus for signing up for the Chase Freedom Visa Credit Card.
