Chase Freedom Flex Q2 2026: 5% on Amazon & PayPal

Chase has revealed the Q2 2026 bonus categories for the Freedom Flex card:

April – June 2026 (5% categories): - Amazon.com (including Amazon Fresh and Whole Foods online orders) - PayPal (all PayPal transactions) - Select Streaming: Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Max, and Paramount+

As usual, the 5% rate applies to the first $1,500 in combined purchases across these categories, then drops to 1%. Remember to activate the category through the Chase app or Chase.com.

Strategy tip: If you also have the Amazon Prime Visa (5% on Amazon), use the Freedom Flex for PayPal purchases and streaming, and the Prime Visa for Amazon. If you don't have the Prime Visa, the Freedom Flex covers Amazon nicely this quarter.

Q1 recap: Grocery stores and fitness clubs/gym memberships were the Q1 categories (ending March 31). Make sure you've maxed out those categories before the deadline.

Activation is open now — don't wait until April.
