Barclaycard Forward. Change card type?

Options

Hi all. Have a Barclaycard Forward card with £1200 limit, no balance, they've already reduced the APR, and hasn't been used in about a yr. Was taken as a credit builder card and it's done it's job. I was interested in changing it to another card to get fee free spending overseas, but the option to change the card isn't offered in the app. Is this just a not now thing or do BC restrict "upgrades" from the forward card in a similar way to how some banks won't let you upgrade basic bank accounts? I can just close the card and wait 6 months to reapply if so, just wondered if anyone had the answer!

CC limits £26000

Long term CC debt £0

Total low rate loan debt £3000

Almost debt free feeling, priceless.

Ex money nightmare, learnt from my mistakes and never going back there again, in control of my finances for the first time in my adult life and it feels amazing.
