Freedom, Freedom Unlimited, Sapphire, Sapphire Preferred, all versions of Ink, JPM Select, JPM Palladium all earn Ultimate Rewards points. Ultimate Rewards points earned with any of these cards may be redeemed for cash at the rate 1 point = $0.01.
Chase markets Freedom, Unlimited, and Ink Cash as cash rewards, the others as points cards. The difference is in the marketing, not the rewards.

They converted my account immediately and it is showing as FU online. I haven't received the physical card yet, but it doesn't matter, as I can use the old card until I get the new one.

Did you convert a CF to CFU? I did and it's still showing as CF online. Getting very, very annoyed.

Chase is often taking weeks to months to approve people for credit cards these days (way longer than any other major bank). Taking many days to convert an existing card to a brand new program (that hasn't even debuted online yet) seems a very mild complaint by comparison.

You could also threaten to sue Chase and the CSR. That might help advance your product change.

Dont forget to have your pocket Constitution handy when you call the CFPB. I'm sure they will be keenly interested when you cite the clause that specifies that all credit card conversions must be completed within 24 hours.

I have twice. I think I included that in my OP. Each time the rep just says "I'm not sure why it's taking so long."

ALL credit cards from ALL (not limited to chase) count towards 5/24. You might wanna go to chase branch and ask if you're approved for FU, if you are then go ahead and apply. There are some data points suggesting that preapproval sometimes overrides 5/24 rule.

As of today, you can now sign up for the Freedom Unlimited card at 5,400 Chase branches across the US. You’ll be able to apply online beginning in April. Also, if you have the regular Freedom card, or another no-fee Chase product, such as the regular Sapphire card, you should now be able to call the number on the back of your card and switch to Freedom Unlimited.

ETA: Just re-read and realized there is a bonus I would miss out on, scratch that idea.

Not sure if anyone posted this already, it is now available to apply in person in branch. Was in branch for totally different reason today but my banker told me so and someone just applied a few days ago with her. And that guy, according to her was beyond 5/24 rule, and somehow got approved. I didn't apply since I already have club card.
