Why in the world wouldn't you prefer to:

(1) Apply for the Choice ccard outright, and get the sign-up bonus.
(2) Call B of A then and ask them to consolidate your previous card onto the Choice card.

Seems to have at least two advantages: It's the more common, more reliable way of "converting" to a new card, and it gets you a sign-up bonus, whereas outright converting gets you nothing.
