I wasn't a player for this but a shame to see it go.
All good things must come to an end ...
There is a similar SUB that I have talked about here though that could actually be a better deal than the Freedom Unlimited. Discover is still offering to match bonuses paid in first year on their cards. The Discover IT MILES card earns 1.5% UNLIMITED back and Discover will match it at end of year one, so you could theoretically earn a lot more than $600 once you surpass the $20K spend. Their "miles" isn't like other travel cards in that you can redeem them for a flat 1cent/point cash back.

I just can't get past the Chase "FU" card. You know where my mind goes. And it's what Chase would tell me in a New York minute!
Lmao 
You realize we on My Fico are the only ones who commonly use and recognize that "FU" though with all our forum abbreviations. The general population would be thinking the same thing!

Most likely 3 nights, possibly 4 depending on the Hyatt destination. After you get the $200 SUB for the CFU.
So many options with Chase. That's a good point.
I just got the Hyatt card. Great $850 value SUB. 
Moving my $30K SL to other Chase cards though, some of it moved already. I don't think I stay at Hyatt's enough to reap enough differential benefit from having a sole Hyatt card and will just concentrate my rewards on the CSR. Same for my Marriott Bonvoy Boundless. I like the flexibility I have with earning and redeeming on CSR. Latest valuation on UR points is 2.0 cents and WoH points is 1.7 cents, so about a wash. (The Points Guy website; August 2019.)

Whenever you get poor service somewhere, always make sure to pay the bill with your FU card 
On an unrelated note, Alliant still has that nifty VS card that also offers 3% cashback for the first year, but with no cap. And even after the 1st year, it is good for 2.5%. There's a $95 AF, of course, but if you charge over $11k/yr on the card, the AF pays for itself. It's a really good "everyday spending" alternative to the FU - as even with that awesome 150% bonus if you pair the FU with a Sapphire Reserve, it's still only earning the equivalent of 2.25%. After my FU SUB has run its course, I'm hoping to switch my everyday spending to the Alliant VS if they'll give me one.
Total Loan Balance: $43k / $65k
Total SL: $78k

I can see going into a Chase branch and saying .."Am I approved for the FU"
I mean, it’s more straightforward to the consumer who gets $200 vs 3% times whatever they’re gonna spend in x number of months. I was personally more enticed by the 3% for the 1st year than this.
AU
Darn! This was going to be my first card after I come out of the garden next Feb. I knew of all the 3% first year cards Chase would be first to end and here we go.
This garden really isn’t very pretty.
I just looked at my referral link on Credit Karma and the 3% offer for the first year up to $20K in spending is still on there.
