Since May, we’ve seen dozens of limited-time credit card perks and benefits come and go. As we move into the holiday shopping season, our typical spending habits may look a lot different — and card issuers have taken note.
To encourage spending on select Chase cards, many cardholders have been targeted to receive up to 5x on Amazon purchases and 3x on grocery spending from Nov. 1 through Dec. 31, 2020, up to $1,500 in combined purchases per month. Check here to see if you are one of them.

Of course, this is far from Chase’s first foray into pandemic-related perks.
In the last week alone, the issuer has made two major announcements to entice cardholders to keep spending. Chase added a grocery bonus (up to $1,000 per month until April 30, 2021) on the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (2x bonus) and Chase Sapphire Reserve® (3x bonus). Additionally, Sapphire cardholders now get a credit towards digital Peloton memberships.
