What Citi claims is that, even if the product change results in a new tradeline on your report, the age of that account will list with the same opening date as your old account, so it should not bring down your average age of accounts.
Can't recall anyone actually posting what ended up happening. I'm in the middle of a conversion right now so I can report back eventually.
