I currently have the "old" Chase Rapid Rewards Visa Signature card. I've noticed that even though I have passed $10,000 in spend since March 1 I have not received the corresponding 1,500 tier qualifying points toward my A-List Preferred status. My understanding was that the "old" Visa Signature card received the same benefits as the "new" Premier card. Can anyone confirm whether this is correct?

I see my options as follows:

1) Call SW or Chase and inquire as to the missing tier qualifying points. (This assumes I was supposed to have received them and did not.)

2) Call Chase and inquire about upgrading to the Premier card and request retroactive TQPs based on spend since March 1. (Anyone have any idea whether they will do this?)

3) Apply for a new Chase Premier card and cancel my existing card, thus netting the 50,000 bonus points. (Will they allow this?)

Thanks for your thoughts, or additional suggestions.
