Chase discontinued its old Freedom Student card to new applicants on 2023-06-11; Freedom Rise is the live successor, and its own product page states "Best for: New to Credit and Students" directly — the reason it carries the student tag here even though it is not exclusively a student product. Its standout feature is the clearest graduation path in this corpus: an automatic annual evaluation to upgrade to Freedom Unlimited, plus a credit-line-increase review in as soon as 6 months. Neither a foreign-transaction fee nor a penalty APR is stated on the rendered page, so both stay unverified rather than guessed.

Advantages

  • Explicit, dated automatic-upgrade path to Chase Freedom Unlimited
  • No annual fee; transparent Prime-based APR formula
  • New-cardmember 3% dining bonus and $25 autopay credit (both limited-time)

Watch for

  • Foreign-transaction fee is not stated on the product page
  • Approval odds improve with an existing Chase checking/savings balance, which not every first-time applicant has
  • Ongoing rewards are a flat 1.5% once the dining promo period ends

Best for: First-time credit users — students or not — who want a documented path to upgrade to a full rewards card.
