Just apply online yourself and call Recon/Credit Analyst and you will get it if you try in earnest.

Even if you still can't get it after repeated calls to multiple departments and after offering to close cards or shift lines (hard to believe after that that you aren't approved) you can still go into a branch and have a banker fill out a special recon form for you.

I did everything except going to the banker yet still got denied due to too many recent inquiries and not long enough credit. I don't have $10k in my chase account

JUST FYI opening a SP visa while having a SP WMC can be done but its def not 1..2..3. takes alot of calling and convincing and rejection. That was my experience at least but did get it approved in the end somehow.

I was stupid and didn't read these postings before i did the following...

I currently have the SP Visa. I just applied for the SP MasterCard. (I thought they are two totally separate cards and that it would work no problem)

I received a pending.

What can I expect?

Any ideas?

I converted from Visa to WMC on my SP and was then instant approved for a new SP Visa.

It's always YMMV with this stuff.

Online im still showing the Saphire Preferred and the Saphire Preferred mastercard. I called chase and they said both cards are still active.
Should I wait to apply until the SP falls off my account or I can apply now ?
Anyone have this too?

would it be better to cancel the world mastercard and apply for the visa?

They told me that too, but when I pressed the rep she did some research and realized it was a mirror account.

just put i my request to switch from SP visa to SP WMC...first call was answered in Springfield MO and CS said can't be done if acct was open less than a yr (mine is open 6 months). thanked her and hung up, hit redial and CS was from a diff call center (too muffled to make out the location) and he was more than happy to help me with minimal questions why i wanted to do this...i casually mentioned that I have SP visa and Freedom visa with chase and that I was looking to diversify with a WMC.  Less than 3 mins later, order was processed and was advised my new SP WMC will arrive in 5-7 days!!

No indication if it will be SP WMC or the non-pref WMC....either way, i figure I'm good for a new SP visa now to lock in the fleeting 50k offer.... 8)

Sapphire Preferred Visa Signature to World MasterCard

I applied for the chase sapphire MASTERCARD.  I already have the VISA.

They sent me a letter to call them.

I called and was told this:
You cannot have 2 sapphire PREFERRED cards. Although there are differences between the VISA and MASTERCARD, they still fall under one category.

The option she gave me was to downgrade the VISA to not PREFFERED and then they would consider my MasterCard application.

Any thoughts?

Please answer soon as they are removing the 50k offer.

Did you get the visa bonus already , if so what are you losing by downgrading?
Also how did you apply directly for the mastercard?

I applied for the MasterCard through the dansdeals link.

What I lose is that if my MasterCard gets denied then I won't have PREFFERED.

But mainly the question is, is what she is saying true ? I can't have 2 visa. PREFFERED?

You could have both but it takes some convincing and could take more than a few tries. Maybe the recon debt can downgrade the visa and at the same time approve you for the MC.
