Re: PC from Chase Freedom to CSP

Anonymous · ‎05-18-2013

So last night I called Chase and asked if I could speak to a supervisor about product changing my Freedom card to Sapphire Preferred. Supervisor initially said he doesn't think it would be possible since I'd be converting a regular Visa to a Signature Visa. He asked me why I want it and I explained that I already have Discover It (almost identical to Freedom) and I travel a lot so the CSP would benefit me a lot more and I'd use the card way more. He then told me to call back after Memorial Day and I would receive my card within two weeks. Not sure what this means but fingers crossed!!! Has anyone done this before?

Good Luck

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Good luck!

Just curious, why didn't you app for the CSP, so you would be eligible for the signup bonus?

Yes, my question as well. This is one of the huge sign up bonuses, so a pity to lose on a PC.

+1

40,000 points, good for $500 in travel. If approved you can move some of that 16k to the CSP if starting limit isn't high enough,

Also wondering why gold, when you could get the PR Gold with the first year fee waived, and 3x points on flights stackable with there mile reward programs.

I've had the freedom since 08 and opened two new cards this month.

If you don't "need" the CSP immediately, why not cancel the request, and then app in 6mos? With your Chase history you'd probably be approved.

a PC to CSP can be done and has been done before as reported by several people on this forums.

It's a YMMV thing though.

JPMorgan Palladium (100k), AmEx Platinum (NPSL), AmEx SPG (46k), AmEx BCP (42k), Chase Sapphire Preferred (47k), Citi Prestige (31k), Citi Thank You Preferred (27k), Citi Executive AAdvantage (25k), JPMorgan Ritz-Carlton (21k), Merrill+ (15k), US Bank Cash+ (22.5k), Wells Fargo (12k), Bloomingdale’s (12.4k), Chase Freedom (5k), Discover IT (5k).
