[Update 9/5/20: FM reports being told by the Chase media team that it will only be possible to product change from the Chase Freedom to the Freedom Flex. It will not be possible to product change from the Freedom Unlimited or Chase Sapphire card.]
According to the FAQ about the new Chase Freedom Flex card, and according to what we’re hearing from the Chase media team, customers will not be able to hold more than one Freedom Flex card. Given that the old Freedom card will be discontinued for new applications on September 14th, it’s fair to guess that it won’t be possible to product change into the Freedom card after that date either.
Thus, after September 14th is won’t be possible to product change your no-fee cards to accrue multiple Freedom cards, and you’ll be limited to one Freedom Flex card + whatever Freedom cards you already have.
For that reason, if you have any cards (e.g. Slate or no-fee Sapphire) that you’ve been meaning to change into the Freedom 5% card for the rotating categories, I’d recommend doing so now while the card is still available.
(I say this all with the assumption that the information given is accurate, and it won’t be possible to hold multiple Freedom Flex cards. I still think it’s plausible the info is not being presented correctly (as I had speculated in our original post), and – in practice – the Flex card will work like it’s predecessor in that Flex cardholders will not be able to apply for the Flex card, but will be able to product change another card to become their second Flex card.)
