5/3 Bank Auto Upgrading Card

Looks like they are saving you the trouble for some 5/3 cardholders from having to apply for this card.

Got notified that the regular 5/3 platinum card is turning into a rewards card soon. Good News!

Not a bad upgrade ... enjoy the new and better benefits! Even if you have the categories covered elsewhere it always feels good to receive some recognition!

Hi ddemari.

Might be worth the wait for you to see if it comes your way.

The timing of 5/3 to make this new upgrade was sparkling because for my next spree it was on the list.

I got the email first and then yesterday the mailer saying it's on the way.

Good thing too, because the card that they're replacing expires in just a few weeks.

For anyone interested in this card for the price protection feature, be aware there are some major limitations to that in the fine print.

I'm not sure if there are major limitations for other perks like phone protection.

The upgrade process is happing in phases. We are currently in phase 1. Clients who use the card the least will be issued the new trio card first

Let me know if you have any questions.

Just one.

Is it at all possible to realize an APR reduction on this one or are those pretty much set in stone?

Thanks for your cooperation

Thanks pizza.

Yes that was generous and completely unexpected. Maybe because my usage has scaled way back due to the limit not meeting enough spend to avoid having to max it out despite PIF. I don't like ramping up utility.

Good to see you too

I received my auto upgrade in the beginning of April- hardly ever used my platinum card. They gave me $100, for spending $1,000 in the first 3 months. Took about 14 days after spending to see the bonus in my rewards.

I've turned this from a sock drawer to a place in my wallet with the upgrade.
