I finally received my Ebates card that I had no idea I was getting until I looked at my credit report and saw it there a week ago with a 5k limit. I was super excited because from my searches across this forum I saw Ebates Visa Signature (they're older I admit) and when I realized I had a 5k limit it was a distinct possibility.
Instead of visa signature it says Visa Platinum in the corner and has a holographic design. I can't seem to find anything in the card application on the possibility of a signature. I was wondering if people here knew anything about the card?
With eBates, once a platinum always a platinum. They won't upgrade it.
Really? Wow.... that sucks. I was approved for this card last month but was curious to know why it wasn't a Signature card even though my CL is $5k
eBates is weird that way. The $5K CL threshhold is only one part of the Signature equation with them They also base that decision on profile and credit score. Mine started at $5K, but is a Signature. But my TU score was 800 when I apped.
Yep, I was approved for $3,200 called CS and got it to $12K upon activation, asked about signature, but they said it couldn't be changed from platinum to signature.

They won't upgrade unfortunately, you are stuck with whatever you get the time of approval. That said, unless there's a specific Signature benefit you wanted, it's probably not a big deal.
