Chase Freedom Unlimited fees

Annual Fee

The Chase Freedom Unlimited Card has a $0 annual fee.

With several solid 3% back categories and a base earning of 1.5% back on all other purchases, this is very well worth having.

Authorized User Fee

There is no fee to add additional users to the Chase Freedom Flex. Adding family and friends as authorized users can help build rewards faster.

Foreign Transaction Fee

The Chase Freedom Unlimited has a 3% foreign transaction fee. That makes this a bad choice for international travel and spending.
