I just called. Man said they don't do that. Never heard of program. Chase never transfers balances between cards. Called back and another man said he had maybe heard of the 3-2-1 program and he'd check, hold for a minute. He came back and said that was already being done to my card effective Oct 1st. No, I did not receive a letter but told him friends of mine did.

i upgraded last night and afterwards realized that i should have waited. you get double points for the next 3 month. if you wait until the end of sept to upgrade you will earn double points thru xmas and the after xmas sales season.

they're projecting weak xmas sales so there may be lots of deals coming up both before and after xmas.

Thanks OP. This helps with my gas purchases. I'll go back to using my Amazon card for gas purchases once the discover card gas promotion is over.

Also, just got my rate reduced from 28.99% variable to 27.99% fixed. Thank god I pay this card off every month. 730 FICO score, $65k annual salary and this is the best they can do for me, WTF.

Thanks OP. It took 2 minutes to upgrade.

If you pay the card off every month why do you care what the rate is?

No harm in getting the upgrade. But to be eligible to get the extra points, don't you have terms where you need to have a balance of atleast 800-1000 per month?

You do not need flyer for this

It worked for me without the flyer

Aside from my concerns about some 8 year old closed Citi Bank accounts appearently transfered to Chase and showing up on my web account, I got this Amazon credit card upgrade offer in the mail too.

I called and was very detailed and specific with the CSR. The offer states "NO CHANGE TO YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT NUMBER". I asked for his assurance that NO CHANGES would occur other then the more favorable reward rate. He confirmed this. I then asked simply, "so there is no downside to doing this and my credit record would not be impacted in any way" he confirmed this. A few days later I get a letter from CHASE telling me when my "NEW CARD" arrives to activate it and destroy my "OLD CARD" - oh really ? Yesterday I get a new Amazon card in the mail (which I have no intention of activating)- WTF

I called CHASE and it's being "investigated". I pleaded with the CSR. I explained that this was a complete misrepresentation of the offer I recieved and had in front of me stating "NO CHANGE TO YOUR EXISTING ACCOUNT NUMBER" . Even if there is no impact on my credit rating (which is 750+) there is a principle here. I'm so angry I'm seriously thinking of taking legal action, small claims court or the AG's office of Consumer affairs - SOMETHING !

YMMV, you've been warned.

I was told that it would be a new card, but the same number.

Did you look at the number on your new card?

So you're saying they had to do a credit pull and this is basically a new card?

How can you have a Amazon credit card for 5 years and not know about its rewards program???
