When I contacted Chase via SM a few months ago regarding my CSP MC being converted to Visa, I was told that I would be notified beforehand.

There are differences in card benefits between MC and Visa. From a legal point of view, they have to notify you before changing the terms of the card. Based on that, I believe some type of notification would go out beforehand.
