I'll not hold my breath waiting for my Gold Citivisa account to be upgraded since it is a New York rather than Oz account.......

On the login page it says Recently upgraded and having trouble signing on? If so you may need to create a new User ID and Password.Has anyone else got their new card entered under the old log-in or do you need to make a new account again?

Simplifying their portfolio of products, perhaps?Looks like they are upgrading fee free Silver cards too. My platinum arrived in the mail this week.
Something seems a bit fishy. I can understand Gold to Platinum but Silver to Platinum?? I can also understand a high spending Silver to Platinum upgrade, but my spend on the Silver is only 5k pa.

Anyway I am happy with the card I have (which is Gold) ...... I am just worried that if I get the Platinum instead (if ever I get the offer) then some merchants will reject the card, and I need another Visa/Mastercard for non-Platinum V/MC merchants?!
Has anyone got the free upgrade on a Visa card type???
My sister-in-law has the upgrade from Mastercard gold to Platinum and she spends less than $1000 pa!
I received my "FREE" out of the blue platinum card today to supposedly upgrade my "no annual fee EVER" gold card.
I think everyone needs to tread carefully before upgrading.
I checked out the original offer on the gold card I signed up to. The fine print relating to "no annual fee EVER" said "No annual fee will be charged on your credit card account for the life YOUR ACCOUNT REMAINS OPEN"
If you look carefully, you will see that the account number is different from the gold card to the platinum card.
I am no lawyer, but in my view this could technically mean by upgrading you have closed your gold card account and opened your new platinum card account thereby canceling the fee free offer and opening up the ability for Citibank to charge an annual fee in the future.
I will ring Citibank to verify.
