Walmart does upgrade to Discover!

[jason86423]

Just logged into my Wal-Mart card to pay my bill..  Was greeted by a would you like to upgrade message.  Went through the screens and accepted the upgrade.  Got an increase in credit line from $1925 to $2500 at the same time.

So it does happen. I've had the account for 4 years. Hopefully I don't lose the age of accounts.

Congrats! I'm hoping mine will eventually upgrade as well. From everything I've read here, you do lose the aging and the new CC w/have an opening date of today. The only downside. But you'll get rewards, which is great!

Yup, looks like you're going to lose the age of the account.

"Once activated, your existing account will be CLOSED and any existing balance on your Walmart Credit Card account will be transferred to your new Walmart Discover Card account"

Maybe they'll backdate if you call and ask

Congrats btw

Thanks!  I was surprised to see that when I logged in. 

Yeah, I guess it will ding another month of my AAof A which will put me in just under 3 yrs.. time to garden

I was surprised to say the least..so I went and checked my Sam's club store card and no offer.  Maybe I'll see one there soon also.

I can't check EQ or EX until tomorrow but I pulled my TU and didn't see any pulls. Generally GE has pulled TU for me in the past for everything (Sams, Lowes, Amazon,JCP, Walmart,Lord and Taylor).

My Walmart Card has been used for some $10 - 90 day scripts (Can't beat the generic prices).. so not too shabby!

Verified on All 3 CR's no pulls at all (including softs).  Must have been an auto review of the account activity

I got a similar message last night but it wasn't an automatic upgrade.   Somehow I minimized the window and lost the message.  How do I find if I can still get this upgrade?  Also, I already have a Discover More card.  Would this interfere with that one?

It shouldn't interfere with your More card at all. The Walmart Discover only runs thru the network, it is not issued by Discover.
