Chase is offering a $200 Bonus after you spend $500 on purchases in the first 3 months of account opening for the Chase Freedom Flex℠. This bonus and 5% on groceries in year 1 is only for those applying for a new card and not for "product changes".
HERE IS WHAT CNBC HAD TO SAY
"The Chase Freedom Flex credit card is a competitive no-annual-fee card that outmatches the other two Freedom cards. You'll receive lucrative cash-back rewards and an industry-leading welcome bonus that make this card a great asset. Plus this card pairs great with either the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card or the Chase Sapphire Reserve Card since you can transfer Ultimate Rewards points between cards. This makes your points worth 25% (Preferred) or 50% (Reserve) more."

5% on Quarterly Categories (for Oct to Dec 2020 the 5% category would be Paypal charges and Walmart per Doctor of Credi (DoC); DoC is also reporting that apparently Chase doesn't have the right technology to add new Flex card to Mobile wallets just yet because it is Chase's first MasterCard. Hopefully they will have this sorted out before Oct 1 so you can take advantage of Paypal or else sh$$$IT may hit the roof).
HOW TO APPLY?PRODUCT CHANGE
Those who have the Chase Freedom or Freedom Unlimited can choose to:
a). Apply for a new card, namely, the Freedom Flex (and get the "sign up bonus")
Or
b) "Product Change" an existing Chase card to the Chase Flex card (you don't get the "bonus" but you do save a hard pull on your credit report and also helps steer clear of the 5/24 rule (5/24 rule means Chase won't issue a new card to anyone who was given 5 cards in the last 24 months, regardless of who issued the card). You need to call Chase to make a product change.

LOOPHOLE TO PRODUCT CHANGE FROM NON-FREEDOM CARD to FREEDOM FLEX

Data Point: Today (9/14) they would not allow the Southwest Card to product change to the Freedom Flex

PERSONAL OPINION - BEST COMBINATION OF NO FEE CARDS FOR COSTCO SHOPPER
The best combination of no fee cards for COSCTO shoppers is the Chase Flex Mastercard and Citi Costco Visa.The citi Costco card provides 2 years extended warranty, 2% on COSTCO purchases and no foreign currency transactions. These 2 cards mean you will have both Mastercard and Visa.
Q&A On Costco Card:
Question: My Costco membership is kind of weird. My dad is the primary and he has the costco credit card. I am not sure if I can apply for one as a secondary.
Answer: Yes, of course you can. That's why a primary and secondary COSTCO member have different membership numbers so each can independently apply for a Citi COSTCO card. That's what COSTCO told me.
POTENTIAL FOR REFERRAL BONUS BY LOGGING INTO YOUR CHASE ACCOUNT
By the way, if you log on to the Chase web site, you can get a referral bonus for others who take up the Freedom card (yes it is $100 for each referral!). Unfortunately, for me, it only allows me to refer a friend for Chase Freedom Unlimited not the Chase Freedom Flex. Can others check? Once you log onto Chase, run a search for "refer a fiend" and select "credit cards"....follow the prompts and then it gives you a list of credit cards that you can refer to get a bonus. The referral bonus varies by the type of card. I am surprised the referral bonus is as high as $100 for each referral to a Freedom Unlimited card!!!
HERE IS WHAT CNBC HAD TO SAY
"The Chase Freedom Flex credit card is a competitive no-annual-fee card that outmatches the other two Freedom cards.

For those annoyed the card is no longer in your digital wallet...you can always use your "paypal key" which is both a mastercard AND can be put into a digital wallet then point paypal to the new freedom flex.....problem solved. Oh course since next quarter you'd get 5% back on paypal purchases (discover has it for THIS quarter) and that would just be a bonus. 
:
Workaround stated differently: Generate a paypal key which is also a mastercard...add THAT to the digital wallet...make paypal's default payment method the flex. |

One of the many cell phone exclusions (man they have a lot of ways to avoid paying you anything):
:
"Replacement of Eligible Cellular Wireless Telephone(s) purchased from anyone other than a cellular service provider's retail or internet store that has the ability to initiate activation with the cellular service provider; " So, if I'm reading it correctly, my phone bought directly from Samsung would not be covered. Unless I bought my phone from my service provider, no coverage. |

:
Specifically- "Quote from Benefits guide : To get coverage: You must charge your monthly Eligible Cellular Wireless Telephone bill to your Covered Card. You are eligible for coverage the first day of the calendar month following the payment of your Eligible Cellular Wireless Telephone bill to your Covered Card" Only language I see regarding pre vs post-paid are an exclusion for: "Quote : Eligible Cellular Wireless Telephones that are received as part of a pre-paid plan;" So if you brought your own phone to a pre-paid plan it seems like you'd be covered, but not if you got the phone as part of the pre-paid plan. . |

"Chase does have their own payment processing network. It's called ChaseNet. It runs on leased space on the Visa network. So technically it is everywhere, for Merchants who bank with Chase. It is alive and well, growing marketshare. You'll never hear about it because it's primarly a B2B endeavor. Chase makes agreements with businesses to process Chase cards on ChaseNet which is leased space on the Visa network. What this means is that Chase is the issuing bank, Chase is the acquiring bank, and Chase is the payment processor. Because of that, Chase can charge the merchant a lower fee, yet still get a larger profit on the interchange since they don't need to share it with as many people now than they would if the Merchant was running Chase cards on Stripe, or Paypal. Think about it like this: Chase might be getting 30% of 3% interchange fee when they run Chase cards on Stripe or Paypal, but now Chase could be getting as much as 70% of a 2% interchange fee when they run cards on ChaseNet. So in the first case, chase is getting 0.9% of the transaction on Stripe or Paypal swipes. In the second case, Chase is getting 1.4% of the transaction, even though the total interchange fee to the merchant is lower. That is the beauty and the masterstroke of the ChaseNet business. They managed to increase their interchange profit, without having to go full on Amex/Disco, by simply leasing space on the Visa network which is quite clever.
I believe that a large motivation for Chase recently issuing the Freedom flex on Mastercard network has in large part to do with expanding ChaseNet to a deal with Mastercard (replicating the model they tested with Visa). A big reason why Chase probably didn't just convert the Freedom card to MC, and instead issued the new card line is because they would piss off Visa greatly if they suddenly cancelled the thousands of Freedom Visa cards that have already been issued, and for which Visa makes money on when they are swiped.
What Chase did instead? They sidestepped Visa by issuing a new card line, on the Mastercard network. Chase most likely now has an agreement with Mastercard to lease bandwidth on the MC network at a really good rate. This is a large reason why Chase is able to offer the outrageous rewards programs in general. Unlike banks like BankofAmerica, Citi, Wells Fargo, who are only getting a cut of interchange with 3 or 4 other middlemen, Chase is getting a bigger cut for cards processed through ChaseNet, without increasing the interchange rate to the Merchant, and in many cases reducing the interchange fee to the merchant."

Sign up for credit karma, it'll show you all the open accounts on your report and when they were opened.
I've got dozens of credit cards and literally couldn't tell you the APR on any of em if you held a gun to my head.
Anyone who cares about APR shouldn't be signing up for cards anyway.
If you mean for the most value- get a CSR, transfer them to the CSR, then transfer them to an airline and buy a first class airline ticket.
You can often get 8-10 cents per point that way... (meaning 5x points would equal 50% cash back on each dollar of spend).
Doing same with business class tickets can get you 4-6 cents per point.
Coach and hotel rooms more in the range of 2-2.5 cents.
The Chase travel portal (or pay yourself back) with a CSR gets you 1.5 cents a point.
Statement credits are a mere 1 cent per point.
Of course given covid you'd need to hang on to the points for a while in most cases to get much travel value (though PYB would remain an option)
Will have to call in after I receive it to move some credit limit over from my other cards.

I called Chase customer service and ask them if there is any way they can expedite the card for me because I need to do my Black Friday shopping, the customer service representative was nice enough to issue another card and ship it with FedEx overnight so I got it the next day.
Thank you!
