What to know about the Freedom Rise

Applicants who have never had a credit card, including as an authorized user, can improve their chances of approval by holding at least $250 in combined available balances in Chase checking or savings accounts ⁠1. Chase states that this is neither a requirement nor a guarantee of approval ⁠1.

The yearly upgrade review has conditions: the Rise account must be open with a purchase in the past 12 months, all payments to all lenders must have been on time over the past 12 months, and no Chase account can be suspended ⁠1. The 1.5% rate applies to all purchases, and Lyft purchases made in the Lyft app earn 2% total through 9/30/2027 ⁠1. Cash back is kept as points, has no redemption minimum and does not expire while the account is open, though Amazon Shop with Points values each point at $0.008 ⁠1⁠4.

The product page lists purchase protection for 120 days at up to $500 per item, extended warranty and trip cancellation up to $1,500 per traveler ⁠1. Rental car coverage, roadside dispatch and travel assistance come from the shared Freedom Guide to Benefits, which names Freedom Rise: rental cover is secondary in the U.S. unless the renter has no personal auto insurance, and roadside help is pay-per-use ⁠3.
