The graphics of the card now show it as a "Visa Infinite." Is this old news?

I figured this would be of interest to y'all! Hope it's not a re-post.

Well I'll be damned, there it is. Certainly seems to confirm the rumor of the Sapphire Elite card (Infinite).

Those were my thoughts.

You have to have (I believe) a 15k limit for the Infinite.

That said, for most people, will probably just be another thing to chase after, similar to how we get excited about Visa Sig upgrades.

I should have waited for this deal. who wouldn't want this card now! I wonder if anyone can upgrade their accounts?

Yes, lots of threads on "How do I get my Feedom to Visa Infinite" (if Chase makes that an option. Or, come to think of it, even if they don't!)

I wonder if this is under 5/24??? 3 free nights and that is easily worth 1500 alone not including the other benefits.

Is the $300 per cal year or membership year?

Edit: it is per cal year. And anyone with this card at a 15k limit can get the visa infinite upgrade

Last time I checked, this card is not part of 5/24 rules.

Marketing 101: create a false sense of urgency, people are going to want Visa Infinites so bad, their hair will be on fire.

If an upgrade is an option, I will try it next month.

Also, They now offer Priority Pass Select instead of Lounge club.

I've never seen an Infinite card in real life!

I just got replacement cards in the mail earlier this week and they are both still visa sig's.

Higher AF, variable APR now instead of fixed 16.24%, higher spend needed for bonus.

Yes I just read on Reddit that you can upgrade your Ritz Carlton Sig to the Infinite,But you have to have a min of $15K credit limit,You can maybe moved credit lines from other chase chase accounts to upgrade

Is everyone skimming over the $5k minimum spend?
I'm thought about calling on my newly acquired card and asking 'WTH dudes!", but then I saw the spend.
I don't think I'm willing to try that even for a third night.

I am not saying 5K is trivial but there are many life events that are not small in cost per se. Do you have a car that tires are due to be replaced? Have a car that needs a brake job? Tune up? Do you have an appliance or more at home you have considered upgrading? What about property taxes and personal property taxes? Any future travel plans?

I promise I am not suggesting spending just to be spending but we all have events in life that costs money and adds up quickly.
