So here's what happened to me recently (just yesterday).

When I applied for the creditcard just under a year ago, I was given a crummy credit limit of 2K which only game me the Platinum Card (2miles for every $1 - no companion ticket - all poop). I kept the card and have used it significantly. I recently sent in my W2's and the like and got an increase to 10K credit limit. I thought this would be Premier tier card now.

When I called Barclay's service desk, I was told I was still Platinum I told the agent that I was told once I reach $5000 credit limit, i would be given the World Card. She said the agent who told me that was mistaken. I would need to apply for the Premier Card again to see if i get it...and there is the possibility I would get a Platinum crappy edition again.

so my question is, has this happened to anyone? Also, my credit report now shows a much wider credit limit. Should I wait a bit and apply for the Premier (even though i have 2 perfectly fine credit cards....US economy problems anyone?? ) or should I close the Card and apply for the Premier??
