Can I use my Chase Sapphire card before it physically arrives?

Yes, it is possible to use a Chase Sapphire card before it physically arrives in certain scenarios. After an individual has been approved for a Chase credit card and the account is officially opened, they may be able to request the credit card number by contacting customer service or through the mobile app, depending on what services Chase is currently offering. This temporary card information can then be used for online purchases or added to a digital wallet such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, facilitating contactless payments with a smartphone or smartwatch. However, one should always confirm the current policy directly with Chase as procedures and capabilities may change over time.
