I had an old Blue card that I hadn't used in a while. I'd recently been planning to apply for the Everyday card in order to a) get the 10K bonus points, and b) make my points "full" MR points (the Blue card earns MR points but they are "express" points that can't be transferred). Just received a notice that my Blue card has been converted to the Everyday, "as our way of saying thank you". Now that I have the Everyday, I'm ineligible for the new member bonus. To be clear, I didn't request this conversion.

All in all, this conversion is an upgrade, but I'm a little miffed that I missed out on the chance to apply for the Everyday and receive the 10K bonus. I just tried the online chat to see if they could extend the bonus offer, but all I got was a stock non-answer, so he opened a "case" and forwarded my question to marketing.

Anyone else experienced this? Any tips?
