As of Oct 2019, offer is as follows:
What can I do with Chase Freedom Ultimate Rewards (UR) points?
More info here: http://thepointsguy.com/2015/09/maxi...hase-trifecta/
Can I apply for this card and earn the bonus after doing so previously?
- $200 (20K UR points) for $500 spend in first 3 months.
- No annual fees.
- This is the best available offer since the past few years.
- Public Application Link
What can I do with Chase Freedom Ultimate Rewards (UR) points?
- Transfer them to a Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Sapphire Reserve, or Chase Ink Business UR points at 1:1. If you own one of those cards, this is probably the best option for you.
- Redeem for cash back (statement credit or to a checking account), 1 cent per UR point. So, the 20K UR points for signing up will get you $200 cash back. This is generally the default option if you do not own a Sapphire or Ink card.
- Redeem them for various gift cards, or shop with points at Amazon.com (usually same value as cash back, eg. $25 for 2500 UR).
- Book flights/hotels/car rental/activities through Ultimate Rewards, and pay in full or in part using points (1 cent per UR).

See the wiki and related discussion in Applying for Chase Credit Cards, 2017 onward
Chase Freedom: $150 (15K UR) + $25 (2.5K UR) for AU after $500 spend in 3 mo.

As they say in the citi thread HUKA until you are able to find an agent willing to submit a "special request" to have the card issued due to urgent pending travel My supervisor CSR started the call by telling me the card was currently being bata tested but nonetheless as I say she was willing to issue me that card without much prompting from me
Good luck

They may not have the option to put an EMV chip in a MasterCard, simular to the situation with the CSP

Via postal mail. They said the new card will arrive by Sept 15, although I'm hoping it comes sooner. What's changing includes:
Account number
Expiration date and security code
"embedded chip and signature feature for added security and wider acceptance outside the United State."
