In general yes it's bad, however if it gets you to the next tier of flight + hotel it seems well worth the 10% bump in miles if you value/use the miles (ie have 220k MR you'd normally get 7 nights + 77k miles, however with an additional 30k MR you get an additional 33k miles)

It sounds like the rep who told you otherwise was just clueless. Sorry to hear about the mishap, but one bad CSR doesn't make the program (or even UR transfers to Marriott) worthless.

Timeframe for Points Transfer to Various Programs?
Chase transfers aren't instant and aren't claimed to be. That said, transfers are quick, usually.

Transfer to Hyatt seemed PDQ to me but it took a minute or so for me to go between sites.

After no points had shown up in my Marriott account in 15 hours, and the hotel I wanted was now sold out, I made a pretty agitated call back to Chase. The agent said that transfers to the above partners aren't immediate, despite what I'd been told. (Note those partners also offer the worst transfer value.) He said the transfer could take up to a week.
The agent offered to escalate my request that the points be returned to my UR account, and added 2K points as a customer service gesture. We'll see.....

I noticed that Chase's Unite explore card is not listed, to confirm a explorer card will doesn't qualify for the UR transfer?

Twice I've transferred to Southwest this year and the points posted instantly, and I used them right away to book a flight.

Transfer between Sappire and Ink cards
Can I trasnfer all of my points from my Sappire to my ink card?
How will this affect the dividend points received each year?
You only receive dividend points each year on new money spent correct and not previous points earned and this only applies to Sapphire and not to the ink cards?

The bonus is calculated on points earned, it doesn't matter if the points remain in the account. The bonus is a feature of Sapphire Preferred. No other Chase card offers this feature.
