Macys Store Card/Amex Confusion

I logged into my account today and I see that it's now showing that I have the Macy's Amex card but it still says Store card in the description. Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing. I want some input from all the Macys experts here and whether I really do have the Amex version now or if it's still the store version.

 

I also requested an upgrade to the Amex version by phone not too long ago.

If you just recently asked for the upgrade, and now you see an AMEX card it means it was approved!! Smiley Happy

Re: Macys Store Card/Amex Confusion

Update:

 

I called Macys Credit CC and the rep said that I indeed have both the store card and the Macy's Amex. In order to add the Amex one online though, I have to wait for the card and delete the store card from the login and add that first so it doesn't do it twice.

 

The Macy's Amex CL is $3k and the store version is $1k. Sweet. Early upgrades to the card are possible after all. I applied for the store card online so I was really surprised my request went through eventually.

Thats awesome Popa! remember to keep asking for those SP CLI for the macys line only. i did it as soon as i got in the mail and i got an extra 500. make sure its only on the macys line. because they will do a HP on the amex line. 

 

It took 3 weeks from when i requested to be upgraded to the amex.
