Applying for a Chase credit card through the cashback site Rakuten can get you additional bonus cash back. The Sapphire Preferred gives an extra $300 in cash back, and with its base 100,000 this makes for a very strong offer. In addition, Freedom gives an extra $150, and Ink gives an extra $300 as well. These look like limited-time offers, so if you’re interested, apply now.

Also, a Rakuten account can be switched to the Membership Rewards version, so this $300 is actually 30,000 MR points.
