Upgrade to Priority Card for 5K points

I received an offer to upgrade my Premier card to a priority visa card, and a 5K point bonus after first purchase. At first I thought this was measly considering signup bonuses are in the 50K and up range. But then I thought I read that current cardholders of any southwest credit card are not eligible for the signup bonuses on other southest credit cards. Can anyone tell me if this is true (I cant seem to find where I read it). Also curious as to what everyone thinks of this offer.

Nobody has anything to say about this offer? Wow! First time I have seen Flyertalkers be speechless!

I would cancel and get a NEW card with the sign up bonus.

There are reasons someone may not want to do that.

I received the 5k upgrade offer on my Chase IHG card. I had downgraded to the no fee version late last year so I am reading this as Chase wanting to increase AF revenue without increasing the number of partner cards.

You are correct, you cannot get the sign up bonus if you already have a Southwest card right now. You would have to cancel and wait (I believe I have seen 30 days) before applying for a new card. I got this offer and took it as it was 5K free points, I didn't want another application on my credit report, and the extra $30/ year for 3k more points seemed like a good deal to me. YMMV.

I would if that would work. However the terms and conditions of the offer State it's not valid for anyone who has any southwest card other than the business card, or anyone who has received a sign on bonus within the last 24 months from any card other than the business card
