Could I buy Chase UR points here?
 

Not allowed here. Remove the message :)

Being a new member with no history is not going to incentify me to sell you mine. Sorry.

Haha, seriously...

I personally got some of my co-workers in on the 50,000 or 100,000 UR deal and bought what I needed off them, atleast those who would sell. A couple still sell them to me as they just like the credit :D

I know there are sites that buy your UR points off you but it's strange to me that there isn't a site that sells them. Even if it were 1.5c/pt it's still a good deal in many circumstances!

No buying or selling allowed here, sorry. I am sure you can find other sites for that. :)

Thanks for the reminder.:hug: Sorry about that.

Although the ratio is horrible you can purchase points from Chase. 1,000 points is $25. Obviously this is a bad deal unless you were very close to a large reward and were a few points away.

Hope this helps.

How is it possible to transfer these? I'm not looking to buy or sell but give to a family member.

You do it in the UR site itself under the Combine option. You just put in their name, ccard #, and their last name I think.

Just know that Chase is cracking down on this. Lots of people have been getting their accounts closed for doing transfers to people outside of what their T&Cs allow. I think it's safe to do it to family members in the same house but not with a different address.

Who knows, you could be fine. I have always been but I stopped doing it once I heard about all the people whose accounts were cancelled for doing this.

why would they crack down on transfer points to family or friends?

Because it violates their T&Cs. They probably realized that savvy people, like myself, redeem them for airline/hotel points which likely cost them more to redeem than say a check or gift card.

I stayed in a suite in Bali for 10 nights for a whopping 80,000 UR points or $800 worth. Chances are they paid more than $800 so they don't like people transferring their points to people like me :(

I found out that they do crack down like yu said -- can you teach us how to be saavy as well? thx.

Do tell about the Bali conversion. I'm a points junkie myself and have had some pretty sweet deals, but I don't see how this one is possible on any of the airlines/hotels that I collect points on.

Bali Hyatt Suite redemption. Only 8,000 pts a night as it's a category 1 hotel. The rooms are ok to be frank but the grounds and the hotel itself is great.

I don't have any tricks really. I now sadly have to earn all my points through spend or CCard signups :(

whats the sale value of these points btw?

I have a buyer that I sell Amex and UR Points to.

I just sold 20K UR Points for $240. Hope that answers your question.

You can probably do better than that. Amex is 1.3c/point. UR is probably good for 1.5c/point

make sure to get quotes from several sources (rewards2cash, get pey'd, bruce flighthuntr, etc) you can ask them to bid against ea other.

My buyer deposits cash into my bank account or sends me Paypal (gift to avoid fees) before I even send the points so 0 chance of getting screwed.
