Un-asked for 'upgrading' of credit card.

<p>Have any of you received replacement credit cards for an account with a new, different number on it? In checking the new cards information, it turns out that I have been upgraded to a 'signature' card. Opened up the online account info, and see that they have already changed my account to the new number. </p>

<p>I don't want a new number. </p>

<p>Anyone have any insight as to why they would want to do this?</p>

<p>Oh, and it's an UNLIMITED card, which is absolutely out of the question.</p>

<p>Yes, I need to call them, but don't want to have anything altered right now, as we are traveling (with all the reservations on the old number).</p>

<p>You have the right to turn it down; do not use the new card.</p>

<p>It happened to me several times, I always turned it down for the same reason.
When they told me the old number will no longer be available after the expiration date, I ended that account and went with my credit union Visa</p>

<p>BTW is it a Cap**** One card?</p>
