The Chase Freedom is an older version of the Freedom Flex and is no longer open to applications. The Freedom features the same rotating quarterly cash back categories as the Freedom Flex, but lacks the Freedom Flex card's year-round bonus categories (Chase travel, dining and drugstore purchases). If you already have the Chase Freedom, you can change to the Freedom Flex to earn cash back in these new bonus categories. However, you won't be eligible for the Freedom Flex card's sign-up bonus or introductory APR offer. To take advantage of these, you'll need to put in a fresh application for the Freedom Flex and face a hard pull of your credit report.
