From Regular Visa to Signature Visa (Chase Amazon card)

[Chickenpotpie]

Today I got a letter about my Amazon card with chase being upgraded to Signature Visa. 

So I ask is it really much of a big deal? Has anyone used any of the services attached to that type of card?

Good question. I will be following your thread...

With the literature explaining the upgrade I am sure you recieved a list of the benefits of Visa Signature. Short answer: no, most people don't use the benefits. It's for show most of the time.

There are a few benefits that can be useful under certain limited circumstances but not really on an everyday basis.

I agree, I have a lot of visa signatures and I think it just looks nicer as Visa Signature than plain ole Visa. Congrats!!! id love to get a letter like that from chase on a acouple of my cards!

As long as you've had the card for a year or more and the limit is 5k+, you can call and request an upgrade I believe.

definitely! hence my other thread about chase and lending. I have been trying to close Slate and move limit to freedom to get the signauture. but im going to wait till my profiles cool off

Thanks for the info.  As far as Chase, they've been very generous with CLI.  I don't ask for them, they just give them to me. According to the letter, they upgraded me October 16, but I won't get a new card until next year.   I use the card a lot, plus use it while abroad, so maybe thats why they did it.

My partner has a world mastercard.  are they similar / same in terms of benefits are something different?

VISA siggy = flexible spending account, which allows you to charge more than your limit. It's a nice feature to have in case you need it along with what OP have stated. Just a little more perks.

Nice...how old is the account?

[Chickenpotpie]

The acct is 2014 so not terribly old.  .  Starting limit was 2500.  its now 9K.  I just tend to use it and pay it off a lot.  I know some said they don't like Chase but I've had nothing but good things from them. And I allow them to make money off me.  I don't always PIF; sometimes I leave a little on there even though I don't like how high the rate is, but I figure they have to make some money sometimes. I've never asked them for CLI, they give me what they give me. 

the card that I never seem to ever get CLI with is my cap one card thats even when I ask.  Considering closing it because I don't really use it for anything (I closed my first card with them for the same reason...it had a 900 dollar limit!)
