Yes he can have both. He would just apply like he would for a regular store card, that is the only way. When he applies they will try him again for the MC and if not approved then the store card again (not sure if he can have more then 1 store card)

The only other option is to wait till he gets a invitation to upgrade to the Mastercard from his store card. There is no rhyme or reason of when that happens. He would just have to wait till it does!

+1 no way you can just do for the mc. just a wasted hp really. just use another card until they invite for it. but of course as with all things credit. ymmv.

There's been a few folks on past threads who tried applying for the MC version after having their store card for sometime.  They flung their fate to the wind (against their better judgement) and ended up with another store card.  If your cousin wants to try for the MC version (without having to wait for the invite), just needs to make sure CR profile is relatively clean, low utilization and scores north of 700.  Keep in mind there are other factors they will consider to be elegible.  But, as others have mentioned, just have your cousin wait until an invite is offered.  Otherwise, no need for duplication in having two cards.

What's better than one store card?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two store cards to the same store, of course!
