Re: Chase Freedom MasterCard, no longer being offered?!?

I called this morning because I want my visa converted to mc. They said I couldn't on the freedom but I could on the csp. My freedom will be one year old in November so I will try back then. I hope they don't phase the mc out.

I want mine converted because I go to Sams club alot and they only take mastercard and discover. Neither of those give me good rewards like the freedom would.

Re: Chase Freedom MasterCard, no longer being offered?!?

I was able to convert mine without my account being a year old. I've had my Freedom account since February of this year...so about 8 months old.

Re: Chase Freedom MasterCard, no longer being offered?!?

Just a helpful tip, afaik there is no Chase Freedom World MasterCard so make sure to just ask for Chase Freedom MasterCard. I noticed a few specifically asked for World MasterCard and were thus declined.

When I converted about a week ago or so, "the CSR lady offered me" either Platinum MC or World MC. I didn't even ask for the WMC, but since my card was Freedom VISA Sig, the CSR lady pushed me for the WMC since benefits are comparable. My Freedom WMC hasn't arrived yet to confirm though.

Re: Chase Freedom MasterCard, no longer being offered?!?

I think it's insane how you get such different answers from CSR's about their products. I've spoken to 2 over the phone and SM'd 1. When I've asked one about their plans to convert Freedom MC and WMC to Visa's, he replied, "Freedom does not come in WMC".  The only consistent answer I got was that they were going to convert to Visa. The latest was a SM from a "Senior Service Specialist" stating, "I confirm that Chase will no longer offer Mastercards.  As part of our expanded relationship with Visa, Mastercard credit and debit cards will be replaced with Visa cards."

The reps can say almost anything, there was a big thread about WMC and how someone spoke with EO who said it no longer exists. I used to have the old Chase Freedom Plus World MasterCard so I know at some point it was available. Guess we will see what you get.

Re: Chase Freedom MasterCard, no longer being offered?!?

So i had an rather strange experience with the secure message i sent in about changing to an MC. They said i already have an mc in their system. I have card in my hand and it definitely says visa LOL. Oh well maybe they are in process of sending me new card i may call in tomorrow to verify.

Somebody spoke with the EO and gave incorrect information? I said that because I just received the card and it's a WMC.

Nice card, I'll try to find the thread but I remember this guy escalated his issue and was firmly told no such card as Freedom WMC. Congrats!
