<prompt> Human: Background: So I got my first credit card, Citi ThankYou Forward back in 2008 when I was in school. It is currently my oldest active credit line. I only have a 2000 limit but a 11.24 APR due to their special rate reduction from on time payment history. I generally dont carry a balance so the APR doesnt effect me too much even though it is really good.According to CreditKarma, I have a 766 credit score but my average credit history of 2 years 7 months across 6 accounts, mostly due to recently consolidating my student loans, is my weakest factor. Question:Is it possible to upgrade my credit card to a different citi card that offers cash back instead of points and bump up my credit limit without having to cancel the card and lose the history?If not, should I just apply for the new card and cancel the old one, or am I better off sticking with what I have and asking for a credit limit increase?  <response>: I also have a Citi Forward that I got back in 2008 when I was a student then known as the MTVu card. I still earn 5 ThankYou Points per dollar spent on restaurants, entertainment, and bookstores maybe or maybe not including Amazon. If you are still grandfathered in with that, it doesnt matter that youre getting points instead of cashback you can use the points to get cash, or for more valuable uses gift cards, travel if youd like; that is an amazing deal you should be holding on to as long as possible. Citi will have to pry that card from my cold dead hands.
