Chase Freedom & CSP MC versions gone?

Anonymous — Mon, 20 May 2013 07:06:43 GMT

I can't seem to find it on the MC website anymore. Does this mean it's discontinued?

Is there anyone who have both the MC and Visa version where it counted as separate tradelines?

If this is possible and I am to have the Freedom MC and Freedom Visa, does this mean my cap is effectively $3000 per quarter?

There were several reports of people with both types of Freedom, usually because another card was PC'd to a Freedom, and they did indeed have the $3K cap. Some who "switched" from Visa to MC ended up with both cards on a single tradeline, which doesn't give the benefit you are after.

I don't remember a case of two CSPs, that seems to be carefully policed.

The MC version of CSP is gone for now, but this has happened before and people expect it to come back at some point.

The Mastercard versions are available for conversion upon request. That is how I obtained my CSP WMC after it was removed from Mastercard's website a few months ago. I'm not so sure if you can just apply for them anymore, however. I have read of others having both; usually it was as a result of takeovers, ending of certain credit card products, or converting from the Slate.
