I product-changed from More Rewards to Flagship via secured message. It took two back-and-forth responses with the CSR ,since they needed to confirm that this was what I wanted to do. If I recall, the change took a couple hours, then the Flagship card image appeared in my account.

 

Just like the underwriting criteria on a new Flagship card, I believe you would need at least a 5K CL on your Cash Rewards.

If you already have established credit relationship with them for at least 3-6 months, and if your file is clean, just apply Flagship right away. They will give a very generious SL.

My first card with them was the cashRewards - SL $500 -> $1500 (91/3) -> $4500 -> $10K

After 3 months, I applied for Flagship, they gave me immediately $10k -> $14K (91/3) -> $20K

 

So, rather than PC, IMHO, just apply to take advantage of generous SL.



AVEN Visa $80k; BCU LOC $50k; PSECU LOC: $20K; Langley FCU LOC $10K; CuSoCal LOC $25k; BECU LOC: 15k; Apple FCU LOC $20k

I did that exact product change earlier this month. I called. The phone call took seven minutes. I asked them to expedite the delivery of the physical Flagship card. That cost $12, but I had it in hand the next day. Good luck!

+1 on the apply idea. Navy is generous with 2nd cards, and am I crazy but I *think* there's a chance at a soft pull only?

Not with Navy. Amex maybe, but even that isn't guaranteed.

My experience is three years old but I called and they took care of it in about 5 minutes.  Had new cards in hand in a week.
