Summary
The Chase Freedom Flex will no longer offer complimentary cellphone protection to eligible cardholders who pay their monthly wireless bill with the card, starting September 20, 2026. The benefit will be discontinued, and cardholders will need to find alternative coverage. Currently, the card offers up to $800 per approved claim for covered damage or theft, subject to a $50 deductible.
Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Cardholders who pay their monthly wireless bill with the Chase Freedom Flex will lose cellphone protection coverage. Other cards, such as the Wells Fargo Active Cash Card, American Express Platinum Card, Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card, and Ink Business Preferred Credit Card, still offer cellphone protection. Coverage limits, annual maximums, deductibles, eligibility requirements, and exclusions vary by card.
Cellphone protection is just another perk to be managed.
