Points & redemptionsTransferable (paired with a premium card)Locked to a single program

On perks and redemptions, the Chase Freedom Flex℠ earns transferable points with a higher redemption ceiling, while the other is capped nearer a flat cent. Weigh those against the fee, since credits and lounge access only count if you will actually use them.

Transfer partners and point value

Only the Chase Freedom Flex℠ earns transferable points. Its Chase Ultimate Rewards move to World of Hyatt, United, Air Canada, Southwest, and British Airways Avios, where a point can be worth several cents on a premium-cabin redemption, far above its cash value. The Disney® Premier Visa® Card stays locked to a single airline or hotel program, so its ceiling is nearer a penny per point no matter how you redeem.

The verdict

On a typical year of household spending, the Chase Freedom Flex℠ earns about $361 a year in rewards and the Disney® Premier Visa® Card about $403, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The Chase Freedom Flex℠ has no annual fee, so its rewards are all profit. The Disney® Premier Visa® Card charges $49, which you clear through its rewards and perks. The two are close on value, but the Chase Freedom Flex℠ edges ahead by about $7 a year, mostly because it earns more where you spend most, on dining. The bigger difference is the ceiling: the Chase Freedom Flex℠ earns points you can move to travel partners for outsized value, while the Disney® Premier Visa® Card stays locked to a single airline or hotel program. Favor the Chase Freedom Flex℠ if you will use travel transfers, the Disney® Premier Visa® Card if you want simplicity. On the sign-up bonus, the Disney® Premier Visa® Card currently has the larger welcome offer. A welcome bonus is a one-time event, so weigh it apart from the ongoing rewards.
