Any idea how to get rid of the annoying signature? It just started for me as well.

No, there is no credit pull because your not applying for a new card. They just consider it a product transfer.

ok thanks!
what negatives are there to the regular sapphire rather than the sapphire preferred?
and i know i can ask for the switch, but any chance they would waive the fee for the preferred?

The negatives are it doesn't have the benefits the preferred has :-\ .

You get 2 points for dining and 1 point for everything else. That's it....

You can try SM or calling, but this may be a tough one to get waived.

Why would you downgrade to Sapphire instead of Freedom?

My point was to show him that the card really has no benefits. It's pretty much all negatives compared to the SP   ;D

+1

But if the SP hasn't been open for a year yet and you don't have the patience to HUCA till you get a rep to downgrade a SP to Freedom when the SP is less than year old then Sapphire is a decent option.

Just realized the OP's SP will be a year old...
