PC from Quicksilver One to Quicksilver

I have a Quicksilver One MC card and I'm planning to PC to Quicksilver Visa. I see several posters say they emailed the OE to get this done but I don't know what OE is. Can someone please explain what OE stands for and how do I contact this entity. Thanks !!!!!!!

You're thinking of 'EO'... that's 'Executive Office'... they're designed for things beyond the scope of a regular CSR, although many people use them for mundane things as well.

 

Of course you're free to use whatever method to reach them you wish, but I was able to get my own QS1 upgraded to a regular QS simply by chatting with a normal CSR (calling works as well). 

 

I will add that I was told 'no' many times before an 'offer' to upgrade was on my account, so if you're told no you can simply try again or give the EO a try.

 

Hope this helps.  Smiley Wink

Isn't converting a MC to VISA impossible with Capital One?  I thought they don't allow you to change the card network.

This is correct.

 

 

 

I would try just using the Chat feature on Cap1's site, or going through there facebook.

I was unaware that they had the regular Quicksilver in the MC network, I thought the network would automatically change once you pc to the regular QS and your credit improves. So basically I'm stuck with MC. It's weird cause I was approved for the AMEX blue cash everyday card yesterday with $1,200 credit line through a mail offer. I'll still give them a try in a few months. Thanks

Yep, if you PC the network stays the same, and you end up with a Quicksilver MasterCard.  The main reason most people want the PC is to retain the account history but not have an annual fee.  I'll also note that the Quicksilver MasterCard has the same features/rewards as the Quicksilver Visa... only the network is different.

 

If you have a QS1 MasterCard and want a Quicksilver Visa, you will have to app for it.

 

Personally, I think it's cool to have a QS MasterCard... until recently you couldn't app for it directly, so it's a bit rare.  (There's now an app for the QS WEMC on the Credit Karma site).

I believe the reason you could not apply for a QS MC was because the QS benefits were through Visa while the QS1 was through MC. I think they changed that recently and now all QS or QS1 are MC. The only way you can have a QS Visa now is if you were converting a Venture/VemtureOne Visa to a Quicksilver. If one applies outright it will be a MC.
