I am posting this because after a LONG while, you now have more options again for Pay Yourself Back than just 25% to Charities. On my Sapphire Preferred PYB page, the new options for Gas Stations and Grocery Stores showed up today, January 1, 2023. Details are still vague, but past history has been 10% to 25% bonus on point redemption and both are valid through 3/31/23.

Charges must be made on the CSP card to use PYB bonus. However, you can move points from other cards on your Chase accounts to the CSP and apply them to the PYB bonus.
- Currently, only redemptions against purchases made with your Chase card with Ultimate Rewards at gas stations (including paying at the pump or inside the station), for grocery stores (including eligible delivery services), and for select charitable organizations will qualify.
This thread is not for those who like to bring up "You get better point value for travel transfers". Yes, we know CSP/CSR are good for travel. I don't travel enough to use any of the partner bonuses, and I'm sure many others don't either. I use all my cards for the 1% to 5% back, and if I can get a 10% to 25% redemption bonus now and then for something I DO use then it's a value to me and others.

Nope, thanks. No more CSR
So what's the point of this when there's no boost in the new categories?
I dont travel much, maybe 2-3 flights a year. Hotels more often as we vacation to places in driving distance. But, with a family of 4, it is a great way to use points for flights. I also take advantage of combining points from my other cards - Freedom, Freedom Unlimited, Business Ink. For people in a similar situation to me, especially not being a big enough traveler to have a loyalty to a specific airline or hotel chain, as well as a decent spender, the card is still worth it. If I just had the CSR and no other points, there are probably better cards out there for me. But the combination of the CSR and the three other cards provides a good benefit for me.

Feels kind of pointless honestly.
