Capital One product change Mastercard to Visa Sig or Mastercard to WM?

[Cali_Credit]

I have 2 mastercards both with 6,000$ limits that were opened in 2006 and 2007. I was wondering is anyone has has any success with a change from Mastercard to Visa Sig or Mastercard to World Mastercard?

These cards were changed a year ago or so from

Plat. Mastercard to Quicksilver

Plat. Mastercard to ---> Venture

They both still stay Plat. mastercard on my online banking also, any advice will be great.

they probably are already World Mastercards. what it says on your signin page does not matter. does it say world on the card it self. ??? really not a hellofa lot of a difference to be honest. my Quicksilver says world. which i could care less. but Ymmv and your reasoning.

I've been told by Cap 1 EO on many occasions that a visa can never be changed to a mastercard, and vice versa!! Which sounds stupid, but each financial institution have their own rules. But I would love for my visa signature to be converted to a world elite mastercard to which I know they offer on their mastercard s.

I don't think anyone changes networks. They would have to change your account number because your number is identified specifically with the network it has. I believe it is the second set of four numbers which are identified with a certain network.
For example
xxxx 1234 xxxx xxxx is MC
xxxx 9876 xxxx xxxx is VS

I was able to change my plain-jane Platinum Mastercard (converted from Orchard Bank) to a Quicksilver World Mastercard. This was a few months after asking for a CLI on the account from $1.5k to $10k.

It will likely be done automatically when you convert your cards, that's what happened with mine, although I did ask to confirm such. Good luck!

Citibank does, because I had it done personally!

My DW recently changed her QS MC with $6000 CL to WMC through EO.

No.  It is the first number.  3 is Amex.  4 is Visa.  5 is MasterCard.  6 is Discover and some store cards.

I think 37, 4, 5 and 6011 are the network prefixes for each.

Actually you are both right to a drgree about card numbers. 3 is Amex, 4 visa, and 5 MC. But the first 6 numbers of the card says what bank it belongs too. The rest of the numbers are your account number basically. Now many large banks have more than one set of first 6 numbers. Many banks do their own org system internallay but to my knowlege it is not required by MC and Visa. Of course Amex and discover is their own systems so the first 6 numbers dont apply to theose.
