webhopper,
What they told you is correct. It's a full PC. The card number changes because they charge different rates for different categories of rewards (and non-rewards) cards. It's a way to flag you as a potential big spender and hence justify higher merchant fees.

So this means that it is not possible to obtain the World Elite Mastercard for this specific card? That would suck as you get the equivalent if you opt for a Visa.

But anyways, do you know the guidelines for Citi to upgrade to World Elite?

Wait for the Chase Freedom Visa Signature there are different rates for the rewards, apart from the ones entiled by having a signature card?

The confusion over world/world elite is because all sapphires have only the silver logo. It was thought all regular world mastercards maintained the color logo and silver was reseved for the WEMC.
Yeah it is confusing but in order for a card to be World Elite it must say World Elite.

A World Elite version of this product doesn't exist and the true equiv of World Elite isn't even issued in the United States right now. Visa Signature and World MasterCard are considered the same tier.

lol the op did also ask about World Elite in the first post. No one knows the guidelines, people typically seem to qualify based on tenure and little spending but I managed to get upgraded within months of account opening based on spending.

This thread has good info. When I upgrade to signature will it report as a new account or do I get to keep the same open since date?
Same tradeline however your account number should change to the Signature prefix which I think is 4147. Nothing changes during a Chase product change on the report.
Every Chase Freedom offer the same rotating categories, whether it is Platinum, World or Signature.
