2. How has other people's expereince been with asking for non-contactless cards with other providers? Chase just flat out said "we can't offer a non-contactless card". The CSR then tried to go on about how it can be emotional/and frustrating.

Here's an idea, buy an RFID blocking wallet.

There are real things to worry about in the world than changing your up to date contactless card to a non-contactless version.

This is why the US can't have normal credit cards and had primarily magnetic stripe only cards a few years ago.
