The Chase FreedomSM credit card, issued by Chase, is designed for those who have good or excellent credit and who plan to take advantage of the cash rewards program.

This card offers a 0% introductory rate on purchases and balance transfers. The length of the introductory period varies based on the individual's application and credit history. The APR for purchases is 0% for 6 months, and the APR for balance transfers is 0% for 12 months.

Through the rewards program, cardholders earn 5% cash back in rotating categories such as gas, home improvement and department stores.
