Original Post:
Chase is announcing Contactless Payments coming to Chase Visa cards. Contactless payments allows you to pay by tapping your card on eligible payment terminals instead of swiping or inserting the card. Saves a bit of time, and a lot of people find it useful when traveling abroad, especially.
We recently wrote about Chase Slate going contactless, and it now seems it’ll be rolling out to other Chase cards as well. Reddit members are hearing from Chase reps that there’ll be a mailer being sent out about this, with new cards being issued possibly after November 15th.
In the FAQ, it states: We’ll begin issuing contactless cards in 2018 on an ongoing basis. If you’d like to order a contactless card prior to your card’s expiration date, please call the number on the back of your card.
