very YMMV with being able to convert

I wasn't able to convert my SPG personal card. Offer to convert only available to BCE or BCP

In this case, YMMV doesn't mean you need to keep trying. 

It means either your card eligible for the conversion, or it isn't.

Looks like people had success with the SPG.

However from the answer they gave me it sound that it does not have to do with card aligbilaty, they say this offer is for new applications only. Though maybe the system is hard wired to only let specific cards to convert.

HUCA!

Though be aware, when I recently tried chatting with agents one after the other they told me that they're going to review the previous chat. This was only when I tried chatting immediately after ending the first chat. Just a recent IME.

Tried converting a BCE and they said the BC isn't available in the system to convert to.

+1. I wonder if all the guys that converted will actually get the BCP.

Been there done that. It's probably the applications department which will have no clue why you were referred to them lol

When does the 6500 start accumulating, when your card is converted or all spending in the current statement?

I had my personal SPG (which was opened in July converted via sm effective Jan 1). The information that came with the card clearly shows the 2 tier bonus levels.
I only paid 15% by switching to dansdeals
