The reason I mention this although I do not have the Chase Sapphire is that what matters is not the card company but the Merchant Category Code (MCC) listed by Visa, MC, Amex for the merchant.
In Store reload is categorized as - Restaurants - Fast Food
Purchasing online/via the app is categorized as Merchandise - MISC FOOD STORE, SPECIALTY, CONVENIENCE

A huge, huge plus to the Sapphire card if it pans out (and I'm optimistic about this).
I'm glad I got this card!

Skimmed through the thread but did not come across this...
Would you lose any un-transferred UR points when you close your Sapphire card as you do with MR points when you close your MR related AMEX card¿ (stupid Spanish keyboard)

When I activated the card on Sept. 19th they asked if the closing date of the 1st of every month was fine. I said yes.
When I look at my account the closing date says "Not available" but the payment due date says "November 1st".
I have yet to get a statement, but if the payment due date is the 1st of November, then the statement has to come before then. I have no balance (I pay off everything before it goes to statement) but I just want to know when my points will post for the purchases I made.

Longer answer: Yes, but it will cost you more than the value of the rewards. See here:

Only points held in the Ultimate Rewards program (Chase Sapphire Preferred, Ink Bold) can be transferred to external rewards programs.

So I went back and checked post #90 as someone suggested earlier and that says you can transfer points only to spouses but I thougth I also saw others say you can transfer to anyone. If my sister has a Freedom card can she transfer her points to my Sapphire Preferred card? Since we both have the same last name anyway they wouldn't know the difference right?
