Product changes to the Chase Freedom Flex card are now live, as they were expected to go live on the 13th. Applications to apply for a new Freedom Flex card are expected to go live tomorrow, the 14th.
Also, readers were able to product change the Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, Freedom Unlimited, Slate, and the no-fee Sapphire to become a Freedom Flex card. It’s probably possible that Sapphire Reserve, Slate, and Freedom Unlimited cards will also work now to be changed to become the Freedom Flex card.
According to the media team, it was only supposed to be possible to change a Freedom card to Freedom Flex, not Sapphire or Unlimited cards. My guess is that the media team wasn’t giving information based on how it’ll actually work on the ground, and – in practice – we will be able to product change those cards to Flex. However, it’s equally possible that this is just a Day #1 exception, and that on the 15th or beyond it will stop being possible. Also plausible that the no-fee Sapphire is able to be changed to Flex while other Sapphire cards are not.
