Like a lot of people, the timing of this change has taken me by surprise. There’s been more written about the CSR changes than the CSP portal redemption change; I swear I’ve read all of the relevant posts on this forum and some of the blogs, but I remain confused on several points. (Perhaps because I have another full time job in addition to being a rewards cardholder, lol.)

I currently have an Ink Preferred and Ink Unlimited, in addition to a CFU, a brand new CSP, and a Freedom Flex (recently PC’d from my long-time CSP). I periodically consolidate points to the Ink Preferred and/or CSP, but they are currently scattered over the various accounts.

Do I need to consolidate all of these points on either the CSP or Ink Preferred ahead of 6/23 in order to preserve their higher redemption value going forward? If so, any advice on which card seems the better card on which to consolidate for the moment? I actually don’t use the Chase travel portal very often, but I would nonetheless like to preserve the opportunity for 1.25x redemption going forward if possible.
