They used their Freedom Unlimited on a trip to Canada last Christmas and learned the hard way that the card charges foreign transaction fees, which is why they now avoid it abroad.

Got hit with foreign transaction fees using their Freedom Unlimited abroad before an app flagged it.
Most customers use it as an everyday catch-all, earning a flat rate plus bonus rewards on dining and drugstores, often alongside a Sapphire card. Product changes and in-branch offers usually went smoothly. Some say it feels less competitive now, and a few had promotions or bonus credits not honored or missing.
Of the 111 reviews with a clear verdict, 73% are positive, 15% mixed and 12% negative. The praise mentioned most is great rewards. The most common complaint is poor support.
The praise reviewers mention most: great rewards (43 reviews), helpful support (5 reviews) and great travel perks (1 review). For example: Branch offered the 300 dollar sub and 5 percent on gas and groceries with no credit check up front.
The complaints reviewers mention most: poor support (6 reviews), hard to redeem (3 reviews) and hidden fees (1 review). For example: Portal booking earned only 1 point per dollar and Chase's secure message just gave a phone number.
It's how well reviewed Chase Freedom Unlimited is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a product needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed products here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
Category: Cash-back card. Type: Cash-back credit card. Fees: $0 annual fee. Rates & rewards: 1.5% or more on all purchases.
