The Chase Freedom Unlimited is an excellent rewards card, offering 3% or 5% cash back in useful bonus categories along with unlimited 1.5% cash back for every other purchase. Those are great rates, but you can get even more out of this card if you pair it with another Chase Ultimate Rewards card with bonus categories, like the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card or Chase Sapphire Reserve®.
