PC TYP VISA to DC MC?

[Kostya1992]

I have a TYP Student Visa and I would like to eventually bump it up to a DC MC. Is it possible to change a card from a VISA to MC? Is there a strict rule staring that account must be opened for 12 months before a PC can be performed? Thanks!

Dunno if this is possible because of the networks, and I haven't heard of anyone getting a Visa DC, but it would certainly be wise if you can do it. I had a TYP briefly, and IMO found it to be one of the most useless cards ever. You get "2x" on dining and entertainment but many redemptions nerf that value down so really it's not even a full 2% much of the time.

Sorry I don't have a better answer other than I haven't heard of anyone doing it, but hopefully you can, or just cancel the TYP and get a DC if you aren't currently gardening (and if you are, just wait or check the prequals for DC because most people seem to get a high APR on it, if you care about that)

Your current TYP card must be open for 12 months (or any introductiory APR promotions have expired) before Citi can consider elegibility for PC.  If your TYP is currently a Visa, it will default to a MC at conversion, there's no DC-issued Visa or AMEX network cards as of yet.

The rep i talked to regarding my card's conversion told me that as long as any promotional APR on your card expire,you can request a PC.

That's good to know! How long did you have your TYP account? Did they give you a CLI when you did the PC? Thanks!!

I had the TYP since 2012.  I was happy with the CL and APR so didn't try to change.
