I've been expecting this for a while; Discover has been trying to encourage people to switch for a couple of years now. Last June, when a small window was open for existing cardholders to sign up for double cashback for a year, they required me to convert my More to an It in order to sign up for the doubling. Like other posters have pointed out, there's really not a downside to the conversion, except that AFAIK you can only have one It account, so having your More converted to an It might prevent you from signing up for a new It card with a new first year double-cash promo (or whatever new It card promo Discover happens to be running).
I'm interested to see what happens to my wife's account; she has a Discover More card, but she also has a Discover It. Will they convert her More to an It and she'll have two It cards? Will they convert her More to an it Miles (and if so, will she get the first year doubling)? Or will her More stay a More?
Chris.
