Chase Freedom MasterCard, no longer being offered?!?

[jrmsmlbg]

Yeah, when I called the lady said that some of their cards will still be offered in mastercard options, but I believe the freedom card is not anymore. Congrats on the option for CSP without having to actually apply for it.

I recently requested my Freedom account to be converted from Visa to Mastercard through the secure message portal online. After a couple of days, I checked my account online and see that there is another Chase Freedom account with a different card number. I also called and verified with a CSR that I do indeed now have a Chase Freedom Mastercard. So It is still possible. Try sending them a secure message online.

I wanted my Visa to be upgraded to a Visa Signature few weeks ago, the first rep told me no via secure message, I asked to have my inquire escalated, and the next credit analysit that my ticket was escalated to was able to fullfill my request.

Keep trying.

I just converted my freedom visa to a MC a week and a half ago with no issues. I hope they aren't phasing them out, because if so, I wouldn't have gone through the hassel of converting.

did you send in an secure message or did you call in ?

[godsentdeath]

I called the number on the back of my card a few times in the past 5 months to see if I had any promotions or offers. Each time they offered me the conversion. I have had the freedom card since 2006 though (it was originally the circuit city credit card converted to freedom once circuit city went under).

I converted because my local courthouse (I am an attorney) does not take visa when I need to get copies of court files and the likes. My operating account is a visa debit card. All my other cards for the most part are Visa, so I opted to convert my freedom as it was really my only Visa capable of converting to MC.

I think mc is accepted at slightly more places, and most of the cards i have are all visa. I would like to have an good mastercard to go along with my visa cards
