Sapphire Preferred Visa Signature to World MasterCard

UPDATE:

I or approved for the VISA preferred and my old VI preferred that was suppose to get changed to MA preffered came as a reg. MasterCard. Escalated this to top people.. Will report.
(the last rep said that they can change visa to MasterCard at any time but from reg to preffered it's illegal within 12 months. You can't change the product. I asked her how did the previous rep change my old visa preffered... She had no idea and said it was illegal... Seems like we have a bunch of incompetents as well...)

My sapphire PREFERRED MasterCard Is arriving in the mail tomorrow
So now I have a visa preferred and MasterCard preferred. :)

Your spending on the converted SP? or the one that you just signed up for?

update: after converting my first SP visa to WMC, called chase recon today twice to get a new SP Visa opened .  First call ended in a  quick "no can do" since (of course) cardholders are not allowed to have two of same cards (all DDFer's know that!). 

Promptly hung up within five seconds, hit redial and got reconsidered and approved for a new SP visa in less than 5 mins! looking forward to another round of 50k UR point bonus!!

Well after I tried and tried  reocn still kept on telling me that it's impossible to have more than one type of SP so  I finally took compddd's advice
Yeah I don't understand why people are complaining about keeping their Visa, or if they manage to switch to WMC, continue to complain because it's not a WMC Preferred.

You're going to cancel the card anyway due to annual fee, and the goal was to get another 50k bonus, so why does it matter?
I closed my SP visa moved over the credit line to my freedom and got them to give me a SP mastercard.  It's not exactly a churn but it's the closest I've come so far.  Thank you everyone for your help.
The cherry on top was that when I was approved for the mastercard they gave me new credit and I didn't have to use the cl from my freedom.  I guess it's bal taschis to let a 15k cl sit on one card and I ought to apply for some new cards soon.

OK GOT A Q FOR THE DDF VETS
i had a SP visa for almost a year now. i called to convert it to a WMC. Very long story short,  (after like 20 calls) they did it but downgraded me to reg Sappire (3 separate times) and now they positively claim that a WMC SP is in the mail.
almost 30 days ago i applied 3bm for SP, United and Hyatt. I called many times and no one will approve 3 new cards in 30 days. They keep offering to close another account. Now the only card I could close is the SP WMC.
Does it pay to get the SP WMC and hope to be one of the lucky one's to get 50k after first purchase, or call in offer to close the SP WMC in order to get the hyatt approved?
basically, take the chance for 50k of take my 2 free nights at hyatt and run?

Why do you care if your WMC is SP or not? You're not going to pay the annual fee so it doesn't make a difference. Close it and get the SP Visa approved for another 50k.

Right before the SP bonus was reduced to 40K, I applied for it again being that my current SP is a WMC and I was hoping to be able to get it. They sent me a letter saying they were unable to process it since I already have a SP. As Dan and others successfully did, I tried calling a few different depts. but no luck. Most recently, I tied the Credit Analyst dept 3 times in a rows but they all say they can't make me a second one if I already have one, even if one's a WMC and one's a VS. I had no luck arguing with them, I told them I can name people with 2 active SP accounts but they insisted there is no way of them pushing it through.
Am I out of options? Should I just give up? Or would anyone recommend a few more HUCA attempts?
BTW, they never pulled my credit

no what i was saying is that i already have one visa and one wmc. the question was, do i cancel the wmc and take the hyatt or keep the wmc on the chance that i might get a 50k bonus?

Unless you need the WMC for spending, go for the Hyatt. The (definite) Hyatt signup bonus is better than the longshot 50k on the SP WMC (which I highly doubt you'll get), ברי ושמא, ברי עדיף...

$75, but I think they now also have a statement credit to offset that (seems that requires an SM) and you get the AF credited if you cancel within 30 days.
