Chase Freedom CC numbers on back of card?

Is there a Chase Freedom version with the numbers on the back (similar to the Sapphire preferred and the new United Explorer card)? Just wondering as it is seen on the website, but does not mean it's what available.

Either incredibly recently or old school perhaps.

 

I did get a replacement Freedom for the EMV switch over about 6 weeks ago, numbers still on front unlike CSP.

With the EMV redesign, still traditional raised numbers on the front, and Cardmember Since year, old school, which I like.

Doubtful they would change it to having numbers on the back so soon after this redesign.

Ahh okay. I don't like the 'dents' they put on my thin wallet. 8)

I like it that way with the numbers on the mack like my Discover and PenFed card.

I like the raised numbers and them being on the front. There's no practical reason at this point but I dunno. It's not hurting anything, and it keeps a sense of familiarity with cards in the wake of chip. I don't like the numbers on the back/flat like Discover. Just makes the card for feel "cheaper" or something.

When I first got my Quicksilver One with the "flat" front, it felt cheap - almost fake - and honestly I didn't care for it, at all

 

It eventually grew on me, though, and like SuperKirby mentioned, the flat cards are easier on the wallet, and they stack better as well if you have more than a few cards to keep up with. 

 

Of course just when I got used to it, they reissued it with the EMV chip with the embossed name/account number, so now I'm back where I started... LOL.  Ironically, My new Quicksilver Visa still is flat and without the chip, and I got it literally a couple of weeks before the QS1 was reissued with the chip.
