Good News Circuit City Visa Holders

Just received my newly converted Chase Freedom Plus from a product change of the Circuit City Visa... The representative informed me that they just started a campaign to automatically switch out ALL circuit City visa accounts for the Chase Feedom Card.

 

so if you have store card, I would be calling trying to get that upgraded to visa, and then you will be in line for auto switch to freedom!

Re: Good News Circuit City Visa Holders

I can't convince them to change me from the store card to the visa..I would love to be able to do that, to get my foot in the door with Chase. I had the CC store card and Kohls are my store backed chase cards but I'd love to have it changed to something like that!

Re: Good News Circuit City Visa Holders

Ditto bama, they won't change mine either. I did get a letter today from Chase saying they were now the "owner" of my WAMU account. Maybe when this all pans out, I can get the CircusCity CL added on the new Chase (previously WAMU). Who knows, they may all be gone tomorrow. Smiley Surprised

Re: Good News Circuit City Visa Holders

Three different ones (I'm persistent) told me they couldn't touch the store cards right now. Same canned speech about something was coming in the mail. I have 1500 CL as well and always PIF, did a decent volume with them in the short time I've had it.

I called 2 days ago to ask. I have the Circuit City visa card. I first said that I went to the store and since they were closing, doesn't accept it anymore. Have their prefect card as well and I asked if they could move part of my circuit city available credit to my other card since I use that more often, at first she said I would be able to move 2k out of my 3,500 CL then came back saying she needed to transfer me then guy who answered said they would need to pull my CR to see if i'd be approved to move it. definitely I said no. so I had nothing changed instead. I don't understand why that happened, I still have a little balance of my CC card that's 0% until aug 2010. I'll just wait on what happens. I wouldn't mind having them change it to the freedom. I just hope my 0% stays. 

Can you share what you said when you had it changed to the freedom? or was it automatic? thank..

Re: Good News Circuit City Visa Holders

as soon as the news broke that the stores were closing I called and said now is product change available since ALL stores are closing, she said hold let me check and then started to say a few different options I could switch too. then when I got the card in the mail friday and called to activate it, I was asking about lower APR which went to credit specialist I think and he said they would start automatically converting all cards to freedom if you did not call in. but I upgraded to the freedom plus and am going to make it my daily card besides the southwest that im using for all my business expenses.

Re: Good News Circuit City Visa Holders

Just tried to get CC store card switched to a Visa again.  Third time now and third denial.  They said Chase is reviewing the accounts and I should get a letter with options.  No time frame on the letter though.
