The only thing she could see was that I had not spent over $30k in one year. When I mentioned that I have spent about $15k since I opened the card in November of 2014 she said to try back again once I passed the $30k spend threshold. I would be curious if anyone with over $30k spend that has a Red card is able to convert it to Silver.
That's a little frustrating since the whole reason I want the Silver card in the first place is so I can START putting that kind of spend on it in order to get the EQM bonus. Right now I'm working towards $40k on my Citi Exec card for that card's 10k EQM, but unless they are going to retroactively apply all that Red spend to Silver bonuses I don't think I'd want to take the chance that I wouldn't end up being upgraded ultimately.
