What is your experience with getting these Platinum-level Visa Signature/Select American Express/Platinum Select World Mastercard cards downgraded to Citi's Bronze level? May 2013 and forward only please.
Does the bronze card stay visa signature?
Also, how about experience closing old cards to open new ones?
1. Why? Call to cancel, take another year free, repeat.
2. Why? See #1
3. Pros and cons pretty well covered in the wiki. Consensus if you really want to close cards is to close after opening new cards, not before. Citi seems to be perfectly happy to move credit away from a (soon-to-be-closed) card to a card being opened, but not to a card that is already open.
