Has anyone out there successfully had their Sapphire Preferred Visa converted into a Sapphire Preferred MasterCard? Thanks!
I don't see the point of converting Visa to Master, as in almost all cases they are equally acceptable worldwide. If you do want another MasterCard, I would recommend just simply apply for a new one. Many credit cards offer sweet sign up bonus these days. If you are looking to avoid foreign transaction fees, I think most cards from Capital One will qualify.
