Question for CSP Mastercard folks

Anonymous — Tue, 01 Apr 2014 04:56:42 GMT

Back in September we found out that Chase started all of their cards, including Ink cards, as VISA cards instead of MC. After several calls to Chase, the community seemed to come to a consensus that Chase was going to continue building their relationship with VISA and eventually convert all VISA cards to MC (Chase Sapphire Preferred included). I saw a few dates that mentioned this would be done by summer 2014.

It's been a few months and I've been scouring the forums for updates, but have any CSP Mastercard holders experienced their cards being converted to VISA as of yet, or at least received notice that this would happen? If any of you have other Chase cards that have been converted as part of this movement, feel free to chime in as well.

Nothing yet. I requested a conversion to get EMV. The liability shift will probably drive the mass conversion.

it'd definitely make more sense for Chase to manage the EMV switch with the VISA conversion in one fell swoop if they still intend to do so.

keep me updated, takeshi. i'm curious to see if becoming exclusive with Visa is still in their plans.

Are you expecting to get a Visa then?

Sorry, I'm confused. Are cards going from MC to Visa or Visa to MC? Is there still a way to get the other if you have one of the 'other'?

With a few exceptions (IHG, Amtrak, military cards), all Chase cards are now Visa only. All straggling Mastercards, excluding the exceptions, are supposed to be force converted to Visas at some point.
