The non-Quicksilver Quicksilver Card

Anonymous — Fri, 09 Aug 2013 16:17:48 GMT

After having not really paying attention to my credit/credit cards for about a year now, a series of NERFs on my cards has caused me to reassess things. After the CASH+ nerf, I was looking around for my barely used Household Bank Rewards 2% card (only Netflix recurring on it). As a sidenote, I was always surprised this card wasn't more popular when it was offered as it was one of the few 2% visa/mc around and the only one I knew that was available for non excellent credit.

In any case, upon login to HSBC, it said I needed to now log into Capital One. Hmm everything seems the same with the card, but there are no terms and conditions. Checked various options online and nothing available. After playing around with Capital One CS and getting no where, I decided to go the Facebook/EO route.

EO was great service right off the bat. Was able to tell me that my HSBC card had gotten reduced to 1.5% (looking at the previous statements, it looks like April-May timeframe). Strange thing it was still considered a Platinum Mastercard. I asked the EO rep to review my account and see what I could get. EO rep suggested maybe converting to Quicksilver even though reward is the same, but redemption is a bit better with Quicksilver. Quicksilver PC wasn't available on my account however and she needed to put in request.

Now, a few days later some interesting things have happened:

1) They raised my limit from 15k to 20k. Interesting as I didn't specifically request a CLI but general review of my account and see what I could get without any HP. That is good service I must say. BTW, doublechecked and no HP happened.

2) Quicksilver PC is still pending. So basically I have a 1.5% rewards no AF mastercard that registers as Capital One Platinum Mastercard. Strange.. Well I now really want the Quicksilver just so I don't belong to some weird card group and that cap one plat mastercard is so ugly. Thoughts?

Heard back from EO just now. Rejected for conversion to Quicksilver but got a CLI earlier from them. Instead I have to keep my newly HSBC-converted Capital One Platinum Mastercard with 1.5% cash back. HUH? Aren't they basically the same thing? Well I saw a Quicksilver recently and it is pretty ugly in person. So now my ardor for a Quicksilver branded card is lessened. Cap One Plat Mastercard is looking better and better. Maybe I'll throw a picture on it (like a picture of my AMEX Centurion).

it's mainly up to you but i'm sure there will be people when they receive your card for payment they'll say to themselves "oh a amex wannabe"?
i could be wrong that's just me

but then again You may even fool people if not for a brief moment

but from my experiance when i posted a image for my card it still came out kinda cheesey but hey you can always try and if you don't like (assuming you get approved for that image) you can always use the deafult card

I completely agree. But can I get it so cheesy that it becomes campy.
