I know that the account number remains the same, but I want to know whether I should hold of on charging certain expenses or whether I can just do it now as they will count. Thanks.
It should be ok to use right away based on what CSR said. Just for safe, I've waited one day before I start to use it. I think the card type on my online account changed in couple days after the upgrade.
