Card Features and Benefits:

    The student version of the Chase Freedom family of cards, this credit card earns Chase Ultimate Rewards.

    Chase Freedom Student Credit Card Earn Rate

    • 1X Ultimate Rewards Points on everything
    • Points are equal to cash back (i.e. 1,000 points is $10)

    Chase Freedom Student Credit Card Benefits

    • No Annual Fee
    • Get a $20 "Good Standing Rewards" after each account anniversary. You can get this for up to 5 years
    • You will earn a credit limit increase when you make 5 monthly payments on time within 10 months from account opening (and while meeting credit criteria).
    • Track your credit score for free with Chase Credit Journey
    • 5X total points on Lyft until March 2025

    Instacart Benefits

    • 3 free months of Instacart Express
    • $10/quarter in statement credits

    While most students probably aren't planning years ahead, it's worth noting that you could, in theory, save up your points until you were past college age and eligible for premium Ultimate Rewards cards, at which point you would be able to pool these points in for transfers to airlines and hotels. You would need to ultimately be approved for a Chase Sapphire Reserve or Chase Sapphire Preferred to do so.
