Nice deal, Pity I still have the Ink Business Preferred active and just applied for Freedom Unlimited... A word of caution with their UR Travel service. I had very negative experience with them lately.

On one occasion, I planned my conference and booked the hotel with UR Travel instead of using the conference link. The price was similar, so I decided to earn a few points... That was bad choice because:

They charged the full amount immediately instead of placing a hold.
When I wanted to shorten my stay, it took me almost 2 hour on the phone to change it. And even then, their portal still shows the old travel dates and it took them 2 weeks to refund the difference, so that I had to pay the balance first.
On the other occasion, I tried to book a cruise with them - even worse headache. They do have some cruises online but not all of them. And definitely they don't have any of the optional packages the cruise lines now have to sweeten the deal. My cruise was not available on the portal so I ended up spending 2-3 hours on the phone with very ignorant UR rewards employee who wanted nothing more than to end the call.

And most importantly... The Ultimate Rewards Travel has been outsorurced abroad, to multiple call centers in at least 2 multiple locations (I heard 2 different type of accents, both equally bad). The UR Travel call center used to be 100% English speaking, very knowledgeable, very nice and attentive representatives. Not anymore. Upon your call you are getting to the badly accented employee who is clueless as to what you are asking such that you have to repeat yourself 2-3 times. Mid you, English is my second language too, so I don't mind repeating, knowing that my accent is also bad. But I also know that it is not that bad so I have to repeat myself so much so it gets tiring. There is also bad lag between you talking and call center responding. This is confirmed on every occasion I had to interact with them. The only way to solve this is to immediately request the US Representative. At least for now this works, but who knows for how long.
Thanks for the heads up. Refer my wife to sign up. That's 15k for referral and 80,000 once the spending requirements are met.
That's what OP said. 80k + 10k in branch.

It's 48 months from last time you received a sign up bonus--- not when you last held the card.




Google "best use of chase points to X" where X is where you want to go and you'll find the usual suspects with articles on it (TPG, upgraded miles, million mile secrets, etc...)

You can also use this website to get some ideas but bear in mind it's sort of an "ideally CAN be as cheap as X" not a "click here to book this route right now for X" thing

https://www.awardhacker.com/





You need a paid chase card that uses UR (CSP, CSR, and Ink Preferred being examples) to transfer to partners.





See above- paid biz UR cards allow transfers too

My wife was on my sapphire as an authorized user and the bank was unable to open her account. So since then I've removed her, but she was on my card when I got my bonus. Do you know if that will affect her 48 month rule?

It shouldn't since the points previously would post in your name, not hers.

If she applies online and is approved, it's not possible to get the card without the bonus right? I know in person they can guarantee the bonus but I'd rather we get the refer bonus and do it online

When I go to the branch, can I confirm from the banker if I am getting 80k points before applying for the card? Just want to be sure if promotion is still active.
Yes. That is the first thing I'd ask. They should confirm it before you start applying.

Thinking of referring the Mrs then canceling mine to avoid paying annual fee.

What's the best way to make the most of the reward points before canceling the card? I don't have any travel credit card to transfer to and can't travel anytime soon. I do have a regular chase everyday card. Should I transfer to that one?

Or should I transfer my points to the Mrs'?

Why not just downgrade to a free, useful, chase card?

How long does it take to get the physical card or a temp number to use after approval? What if you apply at a branch?

You can downgrade this to a non fee chase card so that you have the credit line open.
Also, you can sign up a chase ink business card( if you have any kind of small business.. you will be surprised that if you sell in ebay you can get a business card too) and combine the points.
If you downgrade to a non fee personal card you might loose the ability to transfer the point to airlines or hotel partners though.
In that case, I would just transfer to Mrs.

If you have any kind of business, how small it may be, you can get a Chase Ink card which is free and can earn 75k miles. And you can combine those points too

This does not sounds correct. I referred my wife and she signed up with no problems. Approved immediately.

In my opinion, you should not do this.
Downgrade to a no annual fee card that can still accrue points like Chase freedom and let it sit open. They may call it a product change and it's the same thing.
Main reason is you want to keep that history and account open. Closing it causes negative things to happen like your utilization to increase, account history (average age of accounts) and probably other things that affect you negatively. While it's probably very minor, there are no negatives for a downgrade in the card. You also get to keep your points in your UR account.

Edit: Grammar is hard

Advice: I signed up for this card but do not intend to keep past 1 year as I just do not use the extra benifits.

I also have a chase freedom card with appx 35k points and an Avios account with 108k points.

Which is the best advice to combine points to 1 reward program even if its a place like Hyatt which I dont have but could be good to bring kids to a fancy hotel or whatever.

I am worried I will end up losing my avios if I dont transfer them.

The points already in avios are stuck there- they can't be transferred into another currency.... (they can be transferred to other people but that costs $ or between single airlines that all share the avios currency ( Aer Lingus, British Airways, Iberia, and Qatar Airways) for free- but that's it).

The best use for these is usually short haul domestic flights on American Airlines (booked via the BA website) but you can get some other ideas of the possibilities here:
https://upgradedpoints.com/travel...ays-avios/

Avios expire after 36 months in inactivity- but any earning, spending, sharing, or buying resets the clock.


As to your 35k points- that's not a ton... could maybe get you 1 night at a higher end (cat 7-8) Hyatt....or as many as 10 nights if you booked a category 1 off-peak.


So I'd probably look over the link about use of Avios... if you happen to see one of the options that would work for you, and you could make use of the extra 35k there, combine them into your avios account (which'll also reset your 36 month clock).

If not- Hyatt is a pretty solid option to insure you're at least going to get decent value out of them-- so long as you're going to have travel plans that would make use of them.


Note Hyatt points expire after 24 months of inactivity



On inactivity-- if you've got a partner to work with, you can keep points alive with Hyatt indefinitely as transferring between two people in a household is free-- this is NOT true for Avios where they charge you to do it... (there's a way to "share" them for free in avios with a household account, where any person can use any members points- but it doesn't actually MOVE the points between individual accounts). Transfering your avios between say BA and Aer Lingus MIGHT reset the 36 month clock, not actually sure.
