I went through chat both times. Process was quick and painless to upgrade my TYP and Dividend VISAs to 2 DCs. You see the new account numbers immediately along with your old card; stating it'll (old card)deactivate once you activate your new card. Cards took about 9 days to arrive. Converted to World MASTERCARDs.

I made some purchases before converting and then others after I activated my card. I got 2% on the ones made after activation and 1% for the ones before when the statement cut.

You got your cards 9 days after PC??  I PCed from a TY Preferred to a Dividend card on 4/11, and was told the card wouldn't be mailed out until the PC was complete in their systems (which is a 45 day wait).  Plus the new card does not show up on my online account either - just my old Preferred card.

I wonder why they handle some PCs differently!

I Pc'd my two cards 3/15 and 4/15. Yup...took the standard days for both to arrive. While waiting, you could see the old card with the message underneath saying it will deactivate once I got the new one, and the new Double Cash with the ending account numbers; stating to call once I got the card. My overall credit was doubled because both accounts had the same amount of credit. So if I had 6,000, it will showed 12,000 during this time. Then I got the card, activated, and unlinked the old one in my profile. All was up and running as normal.

Just to let everyone know my statement cut on the 26th and all purchases made after I activated the DC got the 1% on purchases and the 1% on payments.

Random question...do you think a person who just received their citi diamond preferred, with a CL of $9200, could get a PC to double cash if they've never used the card?

That's really bizarre - you requested a PC after I did and have already received the new card/it appears on your online account!  Other than getting an e-document the day after I called confirming that I made the PC (and would have to wait 45 days for it to take effect), I haven't received anything else from Citi.  Since my wait period ends on 5/31, if the new account doesn't show up online by next week I'll have to call them to ask what's going on.

It is definitely worth a shot. It is worth a try, all they can say is no, if anything, you may have to wait a certain amount of time after activation.
