Not surprising. Citi does not want Premier or Prestige to cannibalize their AAdvantage cards.
So why do Chase and AmEx offer transfers to MileagePlus and SkyPesos, respectively?
I would guess they're waiting for AA and US programs to merge, maybe for a contract stipulation with Barclaycard to expire.

I thought the goal was to push people into the JPM Select card that lacked a bunch of CSP's bonuses. They got rid of JPM Select a while back, but they seem to be turning CSP into the Select card: dropping the 7% annual bonus but bringing primary rental coverage.

I think they use the earliest-expiring points first. As points from the Preferred-level and higher cards don't expire, that leaves your banking points, which, I think, expire after three years.
