Citi ThankYou Avoidance Success!

smc733 · ‎02-04-2011

Rather than be roped in to the craptastic program known as ThankYou, I called in and they are changing my conversion to the Dividend Platinum Select MasterCard. Now, Citi, you will get action on this account again. Asked for a manager, so helpful!

Moral of the story, don't give up on this, they can override that.

PS: They told me that

Forward, Diamond Preferred Rewards, and PremierPass will be going to ThankYou cards,

Leaving:

ThankYou Cards

Platinum Select/PS Dividend

Diamond Preferred

Other co-branded cards

I believe I read somewhere that someone was able to convert their soon-to-be-gone Diamond card to a Hilton HHonors card. Any official word on that?

From what I understand, all of the co-branded cards will stay, since those are under contracts with the company they're for.

I know - that wasn't my question.

My question was that I believe I saw someone able to convert from their Diamond card to a Hilton card, which is something I'd be interested in. I was curious if anyone had any official word on that.

I dread the day they inform me that they are switching my Forward to a ThankYou. I will do anything possible to keep my card a Forward, its the best reward card Citi has IMO for how I use it.

I'm not sure about this. IDK if the underwriting is different, but I know pretty much any card that isn't being axed can be converted to. I would imagine that if he could, anyone could.
