It most certainly does. I was approved for the WMC last August, and the very next month I was sent a World Elite Mastercard version of the card. It's my understanding that Citi has been periodically upgrading the WMC accounts. Now if I could get the WEMC of the Barclays Aviator Red...


Upgrade to the Silver :-)


I will say that I've become quite interested in keeping my Barclays AA card in the event that I do decide to upgrade to Silver in the future. I still want the elusive Red WEMC though...


Yeah that would be nice.  Wonder what criteria they use to give those out.  Before I upgraded to the Silver I got notice new cards were being sent and I figured it was an upgrade to WEMC but turned out to be just another copy of the original.  Go figure. Tbh, not sure why I even cared because I already have plenty of WEMCs andhaven't used one benefit of it yet.  They do look nicer though

Re: Citi randomly sending new card

I've gotten a couple emails like that. It wasn't an upgrade or card compromise. It was just a new card with an EMV chip added.


I have reestablished credit over the last couple years
so my moniker is, well, rather out of date.

WM Discover $1800, WF Plat 12k, Chase Freedom Siggy18k, Amex Plat (60k H/B), Citi AA EWMC 25k

Re: Citi randomly sending new card

If your talking about the Citi AA Platinum, it comes with the chip.

I'd be curious to know the criteria as well. I also completely agree with you on the WEMC benefits. I can't say I've used them either; however, I'd still rather have them than not if they are available. On the subject of aesthetics, the silver MasterCard logo looks so much better than orange/red for sure.

Re: Citi randomly sending new card

And other reason(s) for sending a new card is because you are probably near the card's expiration date. Banks, will send out a new card (some) a couple months before the card's expiration date. Check your card's expiration date on the front to be sure.

Re: Citi randomly sending new card

The account is only a little over a month old, if that.
