Hey all,
This seemed like the appropriate forum as this is an upgrade from a Platinum MasterCard the worst offering from Capital One to a World MasterCard. Can anyone explain what are the benefits to this or what exactly this means? Higher credit limits in future? Or does it really mean nothing besides what’s stated?
Here is the email I received with sensitive data redacted;

How long have you had the card? What was your starting limit, and what is your current limit?
I’ve had the card 7 1/2 years started with a $300 credit limit, now at $2,400 between credit steps and card combinations. It is actually a QS1 now where it started out as the Platinum branded card.
Just for the added benefits (that you may not use) it's worth it.
Way back in 2003 I got a Cap1 Platinum Visa with a $1300 limit and got auto CLIs to $3400. After several years I got a letter saying I could convert it to a QS Visa Signature and the final CL before I closed it was $11k. Was the offer from Cap1 what allowed the CL to grow? I don't have an answer for that, but I know it grew faster after it was a Visa Signature.
