It cannot be done if you call the Schwab's world perk card (the other Schwab reward card). I tried that before and was told it was not possible.
However, I called today about the status of my app of the First Invest Visa on 27th because the status still shows pending. We need this card for a loooong trip to Pacific region coming up in 20 days. I have already incurred $50 forex fee since Mar by taking advantage of Prepaid hotel sales. I should have applied the card in January, but I never thought I would prepay hotels.
Anyway, the rep offered to convert my existing World Perk to the Invest First card. I told him no because I still have some award pt balance that I am slowly working it up and do not want to lose it (I think the cash conversion rate is twice as good as the BofA version) . He then offered to take a couple thousands line from World Perk to the Invest First card which he approved on the call. He also assured me the new card will come in 7 to 10 days, ready for our trip.
