The FINANCIAL -- Chase Card Services, a division of JPMorgan Chase & Co. [NYSE: JPM], on November 12 continued the evolution of its Chase FreedomSM product line with the introduction of a new rewards product.

The new Chase Freedom credit card includes an expanded reward program that offers cash, gift cards - ranging from fuel to restaurants to department stores - travel and merchandise so that customers can choose whatever they want when they redeem. The new Chase Freedom credit card is designed to be clear and straightforward with features such as: one percent back on all purchases, starting with the first dollar spent - unlike some competitors - with no rewards earning cap, no rewards expiration, quarterly bonus earning opportunities and up to three percent cash back - all with no annual fee.

Like all Chase Freedom credit cards, the new Chase Freedom gives customers the freedom to choose the currency they earn (reward points or Cash Back Rewards). Customers can also earn up to an additional 10 percent back when they shop online at hundreds of top retailers through Chase Rewards Plus SM. The new Chase Freedom continues to offer the popular statement credit feature, which enables customers to use Chase Freedom to purchase the reward they want and apply their reward points on their next statement to pay themselves back. Reward redemptions start as low as $15 for Cash Back Rewards or 1,500 points. With such a wide variety of redemption options and no rewards expiration, customers can redeem for whatever they want, whenever they want. As always, Chase Freedom is blinkSM-enabled, allowing fast and easy purchases through contactless payment systems at more than 90,000 merchant locations.

Customers can be confident that their purchases are secure when they shop with the Chase Freedom credit card as the card comes with 24/7 fraud monitoring to protect customers' transactions and credit. With the Zero Liability Policy, customers are never responsible for fraudulent transactions either online or offline.

By visiting Chase retail branches, customers can get the Chase Freedom Exclusives product version.
