Citi Platinum Select - World Upgrade?

[laz98]

That sucks.  Maybe I will see if I can opt out of it.  I'd rather have them report the limit.  I don't need a card with concierge service or anything fancy like that.

They said my number was going to stay the same, though, so that's different from Ron's experience.  I wonder if it matters?  I don't want them to open a new account.

Give them a call and iron out the details while you still have a chance to decline!

Well they said they already sent the card out.  If I hadn't logged in today, I wouldn't have seen it til tomorrow or the next day.

You may still be able to decline the offer considering you didn't ask for it nor have you had the chance to read the T&C on the card.

True, true.  I'm going to email them (they're pretty fast!) & see what they say.  I hope it works out like Ron's did!  That would be fine with me, I guess.

Same thing is happening to me  too and they're also converting my Diamond Preferred card to a world card too.I sent a secured message and got the answer straight and to the point unlike csr's.

I just got my "upgraded" Platinum Select World Mastercard in the mail yesterday.  Card number did not change.  Still starts with 5424.  The only difference is above the Mastercard logo it says "World".  If you look at some prior threads on this, it seems there won't be a change to the way it reports.

They upgraded bot my Citi cards to world but there's likely no difference in perks. They don't even look cooler.

First, lots of world mastercards now report a limit. My usaa world mc is labeled as a flexible spending account, but reports a credit limit. Second, the warranty, price protection and rental insurance are big upgrades from standard mc. You might at least give the card a try before panicking.
