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.

You can't apply for any new sapphire card bonus while you currently hold any sapphire card
But it sounds like I should use this card to transfer minimum points to avios to continue the 3 year expiration.
Since I dont travel much or stay at hotels either really, would you think I should cancel this card after 12 months so I do not have to pay the $95 fee, or switch to another free chase card even tho I have a chase freedom card already?
But Hyatt points are worth more
As an example I just looked at a Hyatt near my local airport- it's 6500 points, fully cancelable/refundable to book a night in the middle of the week... the same room for cash is $163 for a non-refundable rate or $170 refundable. So the like for like I'm getting the cash equivalent of 2.615 cents per point...so actually slightly better than the range I mentioned.
It's pretty common to get something in the roughly 2-2.5 cent a point range with Hyatt this way- though occasionally you'll find slightly better or worse redemptions.... and for a small # of cases you can do MUCH better-
https://www.nerdwallet.
That's 4 that are getting you 3.7 on the low end and north of 7 on the high end... but that's pretty niche.
Anyway, speaking more broadly-- you get 1:1 chase to "whatever" with various airlines and hotels.
But the value of the points in the new currency can vary wildly.
Marriot is a garbage transfer because those are worth LESS than 1 cent a point... even with a 50% bonus you're not getting much value out of that transfer (possibly less than just using the portal, let alone other better transfers) and without the bonus you're flat out losing money. Same with all the hotel partners other than Hyatt.
Airlines you can usually do better than the portal (by relatively small amounts) for coach fares.. and a LOT better for business and first class...(for example my last two business class redemptions were in the 6-7 cents a point range) but it'll vary a bit from airline to airline... and especially for the super high value ones requires some flexibility compared to paying cash.
All that said, I rarely use points for even Hyatt redemptions, because I really like flying international business class so I'd rather be getting even higher value biz flights with my points than the still-beats-the-portal Hyatt rates... but if you tend to fly coach primarily then Hyatt offers quite good value for your points.

You can get a second freedom card to give you another $1500/quarter 5x cap... or you can downgrade to a freedom unlimited for 1.5x UR on non-category spend (though this is only worth putting spend on if you DO plan to travel eventually... otherwise a 2% or better cashback card is superior for non-cat spend).
CSP is NOT a card worth keeping if you're not going to travel-- all it really gets you of use is the ability to transfer points to partners.
And really for folks who DO travel much, CSR is a better card (and arguably cheaper net cost if you can make much use of the credits for things like instacart)
Same with airline transfers.

I think I got the 100k signup like 10 years or so ago, it use to be easier to extend the points thru their shopping portal but all I see is U.K. websites to shop thru their portal now.
I know $95/year is not much. But I usually on use credit cards for gas, grocery etc for the points and pay off each month ofcourse.

Is this what everyone sees? My wife applied through invitation we received in the mailer, should be 100k points for 4k spent. Don't see what you mentioned on Ultimate rewards portal.

Did you apply online or in person in branch? CSR told me to wait 30days after downgrade to be eligible for promotion..
