We converted a 9 month old SPG card over chat. The rep said that the account didn't qualify, but that he'd make an exception.

No they don't have a pin, they could only be used where you can use a creditcards.

Are you sure you got converted to the RIGHT one?

I have a feeling that you were converted to the old one.

I just reconfirmed with them that I have 5% after $6500 in spending.

You just simply asked? They did it over chat? Cuz the guy I chatted with told me that they're not authorized to do it and I'll need to call

Just converted an SPG to this card over chart, no HUCA required.
Don't worry I still have 3 more SPGs

Guys this is all over FT, anyway, no one has been successful to convert from BCP to BC. BCE to BC is very easy. What I did was sign up for the BC, and I have the BCP, they told me the app is a duplicate. So, I asked for a PC, and they said they cannot do it from my BCP. So the option left is - close the BCP an then they will let the card through.

That said, more and more on the FT thread, I am seeing folks able to do what I am told cannot be done, no matter who I call or who I SM. Seems like it may well be somewhat user specific - for the PC

Never thought about another totally different family to BC, will give that a shot, I have two SPG - maybe they will let me transfer. Did you do a biz spg or a personal spg??

Can you PLEASE paste me what you wrote to them?

Also, once I have this card, and they stop offering it, will I stay with the 5% CB benefit? In other words, whoever had this card a few years ago when they had this same offer did they stay wwith the 5% CB all along?

Yes but this IMHO will go the way of the BCP.
