Automatic Upgrade to Chase Freedom

Don't know what I did to get on Chase's good list, but they sent me a letter I got today saying that as of April 30th, my account will be automatically converted to Freedom From the Free Cash Rewards program.  Was wondering if this might be a theme?  Maybe Chase is getting rid of that old program completely and converting all of the same program to Freedom?  I am ecstatic about this, though.  I called a year ago and they all but laughed at my request to upgrade the card to Freedom.

 

I didn't do anything special.  TU is 657, EQ is 625, so I couldn't see credit score coming into play here, although my score was below 600 when I got the card 2.5 years ago.

 

Anybody else get an automatic upgrade from Chase lately?

 

P.S.  Letter does state the limit stays the same -- $1,000.  Started with $300 limit.

Scores: TU (FICO8): 781, EQ (FICO8): 798, EX (FICO8): 788

In my wallet: Chase Sapphire Preferred: 16,000 | Chase Slate Edge: 8,100 | Bilt World Elite Mastercard: 16,000 | Fidelity Rewards Visa Signature: 8,500 | PenFed Visa Gold: 12,500 | Penfed Pathfinder: 15,000 | Apple Card: 6,500 | Lowe's: 35,000 | Northern Skies FCU Platinum: 15,000 | Kohls: 3,000

Have you been paying all of your other cards in good standing?
