One of the great benefits of this card (where you can rack up nice bonus points) is the 5x category spend on up-to $1,500 per quarter (Note: This quarter the bonus has been raised to 10%). There are 4 quarters per year, each quarter the Freedom card offers 5 points for every dollar spent at select stores or categories. For example, this quarter, Q4, the stores included in the bonus category are Amazon, Zappos, Audible.com and Diapers.com.
If you maximize the $1,500 spend per quarter on the 5x category spend (which is $6,000 in yearly spend) you will get 30,000 Ultimate Rewards points. Normally 30,000 Freedom Ultimate Rewards points equals $300 in cash-back, but if you have the Sapphire Preferred and/or Ink Plus credit cards, you can transfer the points into your Sapphire/Ink accounts.
Once the points are in your Sapphire/Ink accounts, they can then also be transferred out to more lucrative airline/hotel points, where the value per point can many times exceed the 1 cent value per point you were to get otherwise.
You can also transfer points from the Sapphire/Ink cards over to your Freedom card, to keep your points alive, if you were to close one of those accounts, as the Freedom card does not have any annual fees.
