Citi product change question

I want to switch my Citi card from from Platinum to the Hilton Honors card but I want to make sure it is not going to ding my reports. The rep said she didn't know but that a new account number is issued when a product change happens. Should I assume that means it will show as a new account on my report thus lowering my AAoA? Any help would be appreciated.

I have a card converting in the next few weeks and would love to get an answer to your question. Unfortunately the Citi CSRs (even supervisors) seem clueless as to whether it will report as a new trade line retaining history, or whehter the account number will be updated on the existing tradeline already listed on the reports.

With the caveat that this was years ago... I changed from an Citi AA Amex to a Citi MasterCard - Obviously the number changed... It just changed over on my reports to the new number everything was retained Again this was a few years back.

Re: Citi product change question

It shouldn't be new account, you should be able to retain the same card number and account number. I recently PC'd my platinum select to Dividend and was able to retain everything. It seems u had a lousy CSR, try calling them again a knowledgable CSR should be able to assist u properly

Where you able to PC from Platinum Select to Dividend pretty easily?  As of now the Plat Select is pretty useless to me except for utilization and age.

I believe it will be a new account any time you move from one co-branded CC to another co-branded CC with an issuer other than Amex (and with Amex, you can only PC certain products to certain products).

I PCed from Citi Mastercard American Airlines Advantage to Citi Thank You Preferred and I retained all my history, etc.  I did this back in January/February.  It was fine.
