Freedom change

Looks like i am losing my freedom MC, they are changing it to an freedom visa. I will be getting emv with chip and sign now. That seems like will be my only feature that is getting other than it changing from MC to visa. Guess my QS WMC is my only Mastercard i have left.

Re: Freedom change

Not totally sure, but think they changed all Freedom to VISA.  I just got mine last week, and it was a VISA.  Did they tell you that it would be EMV?  Just asking because mine is VISA Signature, but no EMV.

it said it would come with an smart chip I am wondering if that mean EMV. I assume that is what it means. Mine is just plain old freedom not visa sig like my CSP is. I wanted an freedom MC because i don't have many MC cards, most of them are visas. I guess this means i should look into get an barclays card since they are only ones that still do MC cards?

curious, did you find that out by asking them or did you get a letter or message from them?

 

I also have a Freedom MC, and last month my new card number showed up on my account, haven't gotten a letter, message, or the actual new card yet from chase. I haven't asked them about it yet either.

 

I thought i read somewhere that right now only some of the recently issued non-sig freedoms have EMV.

Re: Freedom change

I was kind of happy that my Chase Disney is a Visa. My QS and Barclay cards are both MC so now I have both.
