We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Chase Contactless Payments Coming To Chase Visa Cards Over The Coming Months. Keep An Eye in Your Mail for New Cards.

    Update: One or more card offers in this post are no longer available. Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.

    Throughout December 2018 and January 2019, Chase cardholders may start seeing new cards showing up in their mailboxes.  These new cards will feature contactless NFC chips.

    Contactless chips enable you to pay with a card by simply tapping it onto a compatible credit card terminal in lieu of inserting the card into the chip reader.  This technology is already commonplace throughout the world, but the US has been slow to adopt it.

    Now Chase will be one of the first major US credit card issuers to add this technology to their cards.  Chase will be automatically re-issuing new cards and sending them to cardholders over the next several months.

    They are already sending out new contactless cards, but my favorite Chase cards, like the Ink Business Preferred℠ Credit Card and Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card won’t be transitioning until early 2019.

    Chase Introducing Contactless Payment to Its Visa Cards in Coming Months

    Starting November 14, 2018, Chase began rolling out contactless (NFC tap-to-pay) functionality.  If you check your wallet and see a Visa logo on your Chase card, then you can expect it to be replaced soon with a card that supports contactless payments.

    Coming in November 2018:

    *The information for these cards has been collected independently by Million Mile Secrets. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

    The new cards will have the same credit card number as your current card, but the expiration date and CVV (security code) will be different.  This means that you WILL need to update your payment information for any recurring payments you have set up.

    As with other newly issued cards, keep an eye out for blank white envelopes in your mail from generic addresses as they may contain your new card.

    The US Is Already Prepared for Contactless Payments

    In the US, 70 of Visa’s top 100 merchants already offer the ability to pay using contactless pay.  Outside the US, Visa contactless pay is booming.  Over 40% of all Visa transactions outside the US are being made using contactless payments.  You can expect the need to insert your card into a chip reader to be less and less common over the coming years.

    Have you already gotten a replacement card from Chase?
