Barclays Rewards Mastercard upgrade to world?

[thelethargicage]

Barclays treats tier upgrades the same way Chase treats APR reductions--you're stuck with what you got when you were approved for the card. That was my biggest concern when I apped for my Sallie Mae.

Let this card age for a bit and then go for the Sallie Mae MC.

Guess I'll just have to wait 6 more months and try a PC. Problem is I like their Rewards structure,  I pay all my utilities with the card. I'll let it age and see how I feel by then. Thanks everyone for your advice.

Ive had this card for a year... started with a $1300 CL and then it was increased to $2000, then i applied for the apple financing visa and was approved with $2000... i called barclays immediately and ask them to close the apple card and xfer my $2000CL to my Rewards Mc and he did it without a problem bringing my total CL to $4000... and today Oct 31, i received and email saying congratulations you've been selected for an UPGRADE.. according to the email "You will soon be automatically upgraded to a Barclaycard Rewards World MasterCard® with many new, valuable benefits and at no additional cost to you. You will continue to earn points with every purchase you make, just as you do today. It's our way of saying thanks for being a great cardmember! 

Your account number will stay the same. However, your card will have a new expiration date. Please continue to use your current card until your new one arrives.¹"

Pretty sweet.

Might Recon my SL on the SM after all and see if I can't get at least $3,000 out of them.

Mine was also upgraded today! Funny how time and patience pays off! I asked this months ago and it finally happened today. I posted about it earlier today.
