With these cards, you can combine your Chase Freedom Unlimited cash-back points onto these three cards and turn them into full-fledged Ultimate Rewards points."

Right now I have a Sapphire Preferred, which I have no need for, and the old Chase Ink Business Plus (as opposed to the newer Ink Business Preferred), which I retain for the 5X bonus on cable and cell phone bills. If the Points Guy has it right, I can't get the Freedom Unlimited points counted as full-fledged Ultimate Reward points if I get rid of my Sapphire card.

Since bloggers don't always get it right and since I can't find any relevant thread here, does anyone know if the Ink Business Plus can in fact be used in combination with the Freedom Unlimited so as to get full-fledged TY points from the latter?

Thanks for any help.

Thanks very much for both of the replies and the info. I'd welcome any more experiences re the question about whether combining Ink Plus and Freedom Unlimited TY points is possible.
