Last night a family member transferred me all their Freedom points so that I could transfer them to a Chase UR travel partner. For some reason she received a phone call from Chase informing her that her free year on her Sapphire Preferred account was up and that she would be charged $95 (seemed strange to me they would call). She agreed to downgrade to the Sapphire so she would avoid the fee but in going through the "benefits" one thing the CSR said was that "as of this week you can no longer transfer points to another card" which I imagine is how a lot of us here acquire so many Chase UR points! She told him that she had literally just done it to which he replied that we were "very lucky as the program shouldn't be allowing that anymore".

I decided to combine all my households points after hearing that in to my Sapphire Preferred card just in case but has anyone heard of this? It seemed to work fine as of this morning but if you can no longer transfer points to other cards I'm going to have to seriously reconsider my CCard structure
