Chase had a habit of basically rolling a slew of old products into the Freedom. There were some absurd different number of different Freedom products at one point and the policies for each were different (new Chase app vs. Wamu acquisition card, etc ad naseum).
Think that is finally behind us at least.
@Anonymous's kind of an epic find from the attic @OP

Or Slate. I had an old Providian / WaMu that shows in Chase's system as a Slate.

So on a whim I called Chase. They asked for my SSN and pulled up my account and sure enough, I have a Chase Freedom that has been open since 1994. I asked for a card to be sent to me. I gave them my address and the gal stated that it is not the address on the account. Mind you I moved in 1999. So they asked a few Security Questions which I passed. My "new" old card is on its way. Limit of 12K. Who knew. Strange story for sure.... I think this might win some award for a Sock Drawer Revival Card?
Wow! That's crazy! Congrats

I'm not sure about an award. Definitely make sure you're actively monitoring all open accounts. You're extremely luck if it did not encounter fraud during the timeframe you forgot about it. Also make sure you're regularly reviewing your reports. At the very least make use of your free annual reports.
Wow, tough crowd this one is.
On the contrary, Yes, an award is due. Congratulations OP. I wonder what part of Chases systems allowed the data to be sent to one bureau and not the other two, or if the other two bureaus somehow lost the record at some point. Do you have CR copies from 2000 to 2010? I wonder if it shows on any of those prior to dropping for inactivity.
