How to recognize if a Visa card number is exclusively Visa Signature?

[Anonymous]

How would anyone know if a Visa card number is exclusively Visa Signature?

Generally, the ones starting with 4147 are Visa Signatures (AFAIK)

First 6 digits also  include the issuer,  so many Visa sigs don't start with this (e.g US Bank Visa Sigs include 403784).   And ifIf you use that link, you can see that for example 414712 is a classic ML card

Also, some banks will upgrade from Plat to Sig without changing the number (Capital One and I think Citi do this) so the number itself no longer indicates tier.

Actually, you can go to   https://tickets.fandango.com/visasignature/

Enter your 16-digit Visa Signature card number to verify you're eligible for this Fandango offer. Your card won't be charged.

If it's not a Signature, it will say so it RED   -- We're sorry, but the card number you entered has not been identified as a Visa Signature card. Please re-enter your Visa Signature card number.

at the top of the screen after entering your number

Your post was informative!  I had assumed that 4147 was unique to Bank of America/FIA etc, then I saw that some of my Chase and Citi sigs also started that way so at some point that might have been a very good indicator.

Forgive me for being simplistic, but if it says, "VISA Signature" on the card, isn't it a VISA Signature card??

You would think so, now wouldn't you??

However, Longtimelurker stated:     Also, some banks will upgrade from Plat to Sig without changing the number (Capital One and I think Citi do this) so the number itself no longer indicates tier.

and then in my situation -- that website for Fandango is saying my US BANK CASH + Signature card is not a valid Signature card

So, Fandango has just now told me to email askvisausa@visa.com and ask them why my card is not working as a Sig card,

Sigh....making a mountain out of a mole hill

Is there a universal procedure to upgrade from reg Visa toVisa Signature?  I imagine all banks are different, however I was under the assumption the perks of Visa Signature are the same for all banks.

No, each issuer can decide, on each card, which of the benefits to provide. See https://usa.visa.com/visasignature/benefits.jsp

Explore the list of Visa Signature benefits that may be available on your Visa Signature card. Please check with your issuer to see which of the following benefits applies to your card.
