    I think in three months thay will make their decision based on how you had been managing your account during these months. So, just be careful... And, I think, the higher monthly credits, the higher your chances for upgrade.
    Also you can try opening another account with some other bank/BS that offer basic acccounts with Solo or Visa Electron debit cards (Nationwide don't).
