Did anyone read what I wrote? It is an option on some accounts. It looks like only a small percentage has this option.

[smaxber]

You might not have the option to convert.

Ya I understand that part. Question was if it's worth it...

Interesting. Maybe you need to have the card for a certain amount of time to get the option?

It could be worth trying to convert now, to have for the future when one will be able to pass .... ?

(if there is any chance that this could last a reasonable amount of time before getting capped)
