As stated in the offer, you go to choosemyrewards.com. You may only be able to do it after you get a statement, since when I try it, it says "Please enter the 5 digit Billing Address Zip Code using numbers, exactly as it appears on your credit card statement."

In what form is the Cash Back? A check? Credit to next month's bill?

I was wondering if anyone had any success converting the SONY Card to this one? I've called twice & these ladies (INDIA) insist that the only way is to apply for one.
But, I see that some FWers were able to convert other cards & would like to know if it is possible to do it w/ Chase's own SONY Card as well.

penguinknot said:darkhaven said:I just called regarding changing the perfectcard to a cash plus card and was told that they are treating cash plus rewards as a rewards marketing program more than a type of account. Rewards supposedly won't transfer between the programs but that's not a problem with the PerfectCard if you don't have much racked up in rewards this month. To switch you have to call in and have them first drop the rewards program currently attached to the account (IE -- The PerfectCard 3% program) and then attach the new Cash Plus rewards program. According to the rep I talked to it takes about three days for the request for the PerfectCard program to be dropped to take effect. The nice thing about this is that there shouldn't be a need to reapply for the card, and both the original card number, account length, and card should be usable following the switch. The card design will change when the next card is sent out however.


I called and tried to convert my perfectcard and was told by 3 csr's it was not possible to do anything unless I had a credit limit of $5000. I threatened to cancel my perfectcard and they gave me $10 credit on my next statement. I guess there is some justice in this world.


That's bul3shit. I have $12500 credit limit on this card. they still told me they cound't do anyting on it.

Don't you know already -- call again!!! I was once told by a Citi rep (no accent) that citi doesn't do it. We all know they do. The Indian counterpart was able to assist me.

I just called and converted my SonyCard Visa to this Cash Plus card. I also mentioned offer code Q5S and the CSR said 'no problem.' I'm not counting on receiving the $50 promotion, but it'll be nice if it happens.

He said they'd send me a new card and automatically close out the old SonyCard account in 60 days. hope that helps.

Seems like you would've been better off closing your Sony card and separately applying for the Cash Rewards to get the 50 bucks?

I just got off the phone with a very knowledgeable sounding CSR. She said the Cash Plus Card is TIERED, plus you have to carry a balance. So to earn the full 5%/1%, you have to reach $7000 in spending AND carry a balance. May still be good for the $50, but that's about it.

I think the CSR was talking about another card. I just got the Chase Plus Rewards card and there is no mention of tiers or "up to 5%". It specifically says 5% and 1% back in points.

I wish these CSR's would get a clue sometimes.

Anyone know how cash reward works in this card? The selection for the cash reward appear to result in a letter sent to you. What does this letter contain ? I have not received it yet. The other rewards appears to be the standard $50 gift card for 5000 points.
