I called today to switch Sapphire Preferred to Sapphire WMC. it is not preferred. also we will lose foriegn transaction fee for free, it is now 3%, we will lose 7% annual bonus. Card number will get changed, so need to change things on line where it is direct monthly charging. Also we will lose benefit of transferring any points to any airlines, so if you have points accumulated, then transfer to continental or united or any other airline you wish, before to switch to WMC. you benefit on this one is, there is no annual fee. you can reapply for Sapphire preferred visa are 2 most important benefits. it is not a preferred version. needed to get thru 2 reps to find this one who will do it, as first one replied in negative for conversion. final one told me to call in 2 days again to request them to overnight the card, as new number was not generated, they could not overnight today. hence she asked me to call after 2 days then request overnight. otherwise normal process to get it is 7-10 business days, so basically, it can take 2 weeks. I suggest just call them and ask them to overnight it. they will do it at no extra charge. I now assume, that once we get WMC, we can re-apply for Sapphire Preferred VISA and take advantage of 50000 bonus points.

I got my plain Sapphire WMC today and activated it. Is there any reason to wait now or can I go ahead and re-apply for SP Visa?

How long did it take for your guys sapphire mirror accounts to disappear from your Chase online profile after you switch from Visa to WMC? I don't want to apply for the SP Visa while it shows that I have two sapphires due to the mirror account.

It's been a few months and i'm still seeing mine.There is no need to worry I got my second approved as soon as it switched.

Nice! It's good to hear that the system will automatically approve a SP card when there is one still open.
Did you submit more than one app, or just the SP?

Just the SP. I already have a Freedom and Ink Bold, and I'm not comfortable doing a 3BM after the recent Chase horror stories.

Called to change over our Chase sapphire preferred visa cards (mine + spouses) to WMC
Mine came and it was a WMC Chase sapphire preferred. Spouses came as a plain WMC chase Sapphire.
I called to complain they said no such thing you have to be a car member for at least a year to get switched to the WMC proffered.
Called about 4 times. I did manage to get whole bunch of points for the "inconvenience"  but still no luck with switching over.
Is it worth the fight? or just let it fly until I wait a few and re-apply for the visa Sapphire preferred?
it CAN be done!

I got changed to a plain sapphire WMC, I think it helped with my instant approval of my SP Visa today.

I got them to change my sapphire preferred visa to a sapphire preferred world mastercard. Once I got the wmc, activated it, and the visa was taken off my account and just the wmc was there, I applied for the visa again but got denied (when I called they said that they didn't even do a credit pull) automatically because I already have a sapphire card.

Any suggestions? If I ask them to switch my preferred wmc to a non preferred wmc, would I then be able to get approved for the visa again? The rep said that if I have ANY sapphire card (preferred or not), I won't be able to apply for another sapphire card.

Thanks in advance

WOW, I don't know how many times I've answered this both in the forum and PMs. YES, you can apply for it once it switches over.

Why would someone waste a pull/spot in a 3bm,  on that?
