So as we bought DVC (Disney vacation club timeshare) they offer the Disney rewards card with a $100 sign up bonus, bogus rewards BUT DW wants it, who am I to question, apped got it $15K CL OK cool, well this card is NOT the premiere, and of course DW wants the design that ONLY comes on the premiere card....so after the first statement cut I called and asked to upgrade, just like it says on the DVC website.....after explaining I wanted to PC they sent me to a supervisor who said you cant PC for a year because of the Card Act. OK so he said you could app again for the card (no thanks like 17 apps already on CRs) while telling him that the wife wants the design and I cant go back empty handed, although i understand their hands are tied, can they do ANYTHING for me? At this point the supervisor is laughing and "totally understands my dilemma" says that since the website says you can upgrade without telling you you have to wait a year, he will escalate it to EO with an explanation for my specific issue....all the time I know he is looking at my accounts with Chase (checking, savings, and 6 CC accounts) he says since you are a great customer give us a week and we will get back to you.......NICE I love stuff like this, will let you know what happens.....all this for a mouse....and hopefully a REALLY happy wife....LOL

Tell her there are better cards out there that pay more than 1% (she has the regular version) but she doesn't want to pay the $49 a year, which is pocket change, to get the extra 1% on the other categories. She likes her Cinderella castle design and there is no changing it. I recently stopped using it, as an AU, and moved to my Double Cash. My cash back still goes to Disney as we take a trip once or twice a year. Just get back double! I only cash out rewards when paying for the bill when we get back. Perk to the card gets the 0% for 6 months, which we use until the bonus checks come in.
"Happy wife, happy life" all the way!
LOL YAY!!! I am NOT alone!!! the fact of 2% with the premiere is cool and you are right $49 a year is pocket change.....I just wish Citi AA cards had "pretty designs" so I could get her to spend and accumulate AA miles!!! NOTE to self call Citi later.......
