    When you say your physical case card I assume you mean the physical card you were sent in the post by Chase bank?

    If you have used the app to freeze the Numberless card, then this is that physical card (it has no account number printed on it). You essentially freeze all activity on being able to use that car for anything, so contactless will be disabled.

    Were you trying to do something more specific which would be in the card controls where you could switch off things individually such as:
    Contactless
    Chip & Pin
    Cash Withdrawals
    Card Swipe
    Payments outside UK

    I froze my card detail,  not numberless card and I used contacless on card to pay for tram and it got declined.  I got my message to say from chase it was declined because  I frozen my card but I only frozen card details not my numberless card so my numberless transaction should not get declined.

    Chase card?

    It let's you freeze the card or just freeze it from online transactions. Which did you choose?

    These are the 2 options from the app:

    Numberless card freeze
    Freeze Chip & PIN, contactless, swipe and withdrawals


    Online payments freeze
    Freeze your card details used for online shopping

    So I assume the latter was chosen?
