I recently had some fraudulent activity on my double cash card so had to order a new replacement. During that call I did get a CLI and today the card came in the mail and to my surprise it was upgraded to a WEMC! This is my first WEMC and I'm pretty happy that its on a no AF card.

Helpful keywords for those who may search for this topic in the future: DC, Double Cash, WEMC, World Elite Mastercard

OP, did the tradeline change to report as a flexible spending credit card as well? Just curious if the WEMC DC has flexible spending, the WMC version does not report as such.

Afaik every Citi issued MasterCard card will be upgraded to World Elite MasterCard status, in an effort to further dilute the product which has been meaningless since 2013 and a way to get more fees from merchants. So if you don't have it, you will eventually.

Yeah, I think only American Express sorta retains product status especially with Centurion. Visa and MasterCard seem to cycle a new tier every decade then dilute it and later introduce another. Look forward to the next MasterCard product offering.

Do your VentureOne and Arrival+ cards work with the MasterCard Concierge app? Do they register as correctly on binlist? or that Mastercard site (I forgot the URL). Did you apply for your VentureOne and receive WEMC or was it an upgrade/PC? I wouldn't mind my QS WMC to get upgraded to WEMC. 

Also how do you get upgraded to discover plus?

Lol I have an idea for a pretty awesome name but not sharing since it's so so so so good, if I do say so myself. I wish I could pitch the idea to MasterCard. The name flows perfectly and sounds so elegant xD

Never tried the app but I will and get back to you. I think not since both have generic BINs, in fact my Capital One has the same account from when it was HSBC. My card started out as HSBC Platinum MC then was switched to Quicksilver WMC and automatically upgraded to WE and it retained WE when I converted to Venture. I plan to switch back to QS as soon as I can. Discover PP is unknown but an article suggested $40,000 in annual spend gets you invited.
