I don't think we'll see a return of the MC CSP. Chase and Visa are working closer than ever and a recent business deal requires that Chase shift even more credit and debit card volume to Visa.

Just wanted to followup, I was able to downgrade my CSP Visa to a no-fee CS Visa and apply and get approved for the CSP MC. Still waiting for points to post, although the rep did confirm the sign-up bonus.
Friend was initially denied the CSP MC after downgrading her CSP Visa to a no-fee CS Visa (rep said they were the same product), so she converted her CS Visa to a Chase Freedom and then called the rep back, and is now approved for the CSP MC. Waiting for the card to call and confirm the sign-up bonus.

Just today called in to inquire about the MC... long story short, I was able to PC my old CS Visa to the CSP MC - annual fee waived for 1 year, but no bonus point - yeah, yeah a cardinal sin on here - but at this time cannot risk a new credit pull.

Did you need the preferred to transfer your points out? Or did you have any other reason?

I have a reverse situation than most of I what has been posted. When I applied for the Saphire Preferred over a year ago I received the master card version instead of the visa, I don't know why.
Do you think I could downgrade it and now get the visa? Has anyone else had this happen?

Just a little note if it is any help.
Called today to change my Chase Freedom into a WMC. The CSR said that, although unsure of why, it was not allowed to be changed from a Visa Platinum to WMC at this time. I have had the card for over six months.
He looked into other options and offered to convert my CSP to a WMC. I asked if there would be any hard inquiries done with this (promised no), and I went through with converting.
I believe that I will now wait about six months and apply for the CSP Visa Signature to get the duplicate sign-up bonus and downgrade my new CSP WMC to a regular MC.
My question is, do you think I will be able to receive the sign-up bonus again if I originally applied for a CSP Visa Signature before I converted it?
