just got this little gem in the mail yesterday....new account number but account opening date stays the same so I see no reason not to accept.

Congrats

How long have you had the card? Usage? credit limit?

started out in March 2014 as a $300 store card...not used very much...bought a leather recliner once for the free financing and a few $100 purchases here and there . Current limit is $17,000. I think they want me to use it more!

Would ABSOLUTELY love to see a letter like this. Mine is close to the same age as yours and doesn't see much use either. Also one of my few remaining store card I have that hasn't upgraded. Congrats OP.

Congrats!

I received the same letter on Thursday! However, I did call the number to decline the upgrade. I didn’t want a new line reporting — which I think is what will happen as opposed to a transfer — and I already have an actual Amex. Lol.

Easy upgrades, without hard pulls, are the best though!

Or at least that is what happened to mine in 2015 when I called them to have it converted.

OP—Congrats! I had a similar experience with my Best Buy retail card that got upgraded to a Best Buy Visa. Account kept the same opening date as my original card. Great score OP!

Being that this card is basically backed by Citibank, and that letter is the same i got for my Sears upgrade to mastercard, it should remain with original account history, just the account number will change. Lol now ill have a 25k major

Interesting. I'm wondering if perhaps they're pushing this out to all their customers or at least a majority of them because my mom's Macys as well as my brother's got the same letter about the upgrade. Regardless, happy to see that it will not affect people's credit profiles.
