Visa Sig, World MC and World Elite?

IWOL · ‎05-23-2014

I have one Visa sig card so I am kind of familar with the benefits but what is the diffrence with the World MC and World Elite MC? Once you have one Visa sig why do people care about having another other thank it looks "cool" on the card?

Also, my Visa sig is a B of A Cash Rewards card with a 5K limit . Im doubtful that I will ever utilize the "flexible spending card" but how much do they typically allow you to go over your credit limit?

If you are refering to recent Barclay mess is not the benefit that people cares about. Is the fact that Barclay significantly lower the approval criteria for WEMC while at the same time refusing to upgrading existing Platinum and World customer over to WEMC (those that have superior creditworthiness).

WEMC does have some benefits that few people can take advantage of. Right now you can get either free upgrade, companion ticket, or up to 20% off on select airliners.

Hey, I resemble, I mean resent that remark.

Seriously, the only thing "elite" about my Arrival Plus WEMC is a phone number I can call for travel information as far as I can tell. No private jet service for me. Issuers have the prerogative to pick and choose the perks they want to offer. But I got a cool logo. Booyah.

World Elite gives you pretty good status with several rental car companies.

I was approved today for the Arrival+ WEMC with a 3000CL. I immediately called to reserve the private jet for the weekend, and they hung up on me. So much for my "elite" status...

Dw4250 - imagine if you had a Cap1 GM WEMC with a $600 limit{:

Yeah they might actually let him sit in a private jet for 5 minutes with the gm card.

I got preapprovals for the GM card. I looked it over and went um yeah. You definitely have to put some money through it in order to get any rewards from it to be worthwhile to apply it to a purchase of a car.
