After product changing on September 14 from the Chase Freedom Visa to the recently-announced Chase Freedom Flex℠ Mastercard, my brand new card finally showed up late this past week!
Here’s a quick tour of what’s inside.
Not a Metal Card!
Despite the Chase Freedom Flex℠ being a no annual fee product, I half expected it the actual, physical card to be made of metal. Metallic cards seem to be a trend these days with many cards.
While metal cards are shiny and attractive (at least, I think so), they add weight to one’s wallet. So I’m okay with this being a (Flex-ible?) plastic card.
It’s not really an aesthetically impressive card. Aside from the little “waves” streaking up on the right side, it’s rather plain. But it’s certainly not bad.
Unless I’m at a drugstore (3X) or 5X bonus quarterly category location (restaurant, grocery store, gas station, Walmart, etc., when active), I likely won’t take the card out of my wallet. (For online purchases, I keep images of my cards and their numbers handy in an Evernote document.)
Welcome and Benefits Guides
Two brochures arrived with the card: the “Welcome to Chase Freedom Flex℠” booklet and a Guide to Benefits.
The Freedom Flex doesn’t pack the benefits bells and whistles (or annual fee) of the Chase Sapphire Reserve®, so the guides aren’t quite as flashy or thick.
Overall Impressions
Not overly wowed by the physical product — but I’m darn excited to use it! I maxed out my Amazon and Whole Foods Q3 5% bonus and ready to earn a bunch of cashback on this no annual fee credit card.
