I'm guessing either one would keep your UR points, but possibly the CS card prevents you from getting the CSP card in 2 years (you'd have to cancel it anway, right?), so better off to switch to the Freedom card, if they let you , and it keeps your UR points, and it doesn't count as a new account for 5/24 purposes?

1) I don't think so. When I downgraded my card, the account number remained the same. No hard/soft pull, no nothing.
2) make sense. I already have a Freedom card. In light of this rule change, I'm intending to cancel my CS.
