This isn't even accounting for combining spouse / family member points into your own account.
I'm not terribly worried so I won't be zeroing out my balance but I did move over a chunk to UA today since it's a near certainty that's where they'll be used anyway. The BA transfer option is not so tempting when Amex has frequent transfer bonuses. Combined with the rumor of ThankYou transfers (briefly available by mistake) and and that leaves UA the only option for me. Hotel transfers don't interest me much.
@superking: That is extreme activity / abuse of your relationship
(aka privilege) with Chase. Certainly you cannot be shocked they shut you down. Thank you for sharing your story so openly, I'm certain it will help other FT'ers down the line. But in all honesty I would shut you down, too.
@ArizonaGuy: Be careful?
