You might want to double check that. Freedom does NOT have a bonus on tracel this quarter. (Sapphire always does.)

I called the representative today (she was super nice) and she said it was definitely there that I used the portal and I guess the charge just went through to them on the 6th (even though I ordered on the 25th and the charge posted to me on the 1st) so perhaps there has been a delay due to Best Buy's systems and the holiday rush given that I'm sure so many orders were placed on the 25th. She said she would note my file (I assume to say that she verified with me that I would get the points.)

This may have asked before but can I earn miles on the flights that I get when I redeem Chase Sapphire Preferred points?

If you mean when you redeem points to "pay" for your flights, then yes. They are treated the same as flights paid for with cash by the airlines, so you will earn redeemable and elite qualifying miles just as you would if you used cash.

I'm willing to bet that it is on BestBuy's side of the transaction. I ordered stuff from all over and they just got around to shipping items in stock yesterday.

Thanks for your quick reply Mommy Points!

I have such great trust in the UR mall that I didn't think it would be an issue to use a non-chase card for some purchases, notably all of my Toysrus.com purchases, but that last order still isn't showing up. I doubt Chase will have much interest in getting me the points if I didn't use a Chase card. Luckily I did use my Sapphire preferred for Bestbuy.com.

When you spend using non-Chase cards with Ultimate Rewards, where does those points show up? When you go to Ultimate Rewards on a Chase card you can see recent activity, but where does that show up for Non-Chase cards?

It shows in the same place. Log in > Ultimate Rewards > Manage Ultimate Rewards > Ultimate Rewards Mall activity

Is this possible? I thought you were required to use your Sapphire Preferred Card (or other UR card) to get the bonus points. Can anyone confirm they have done this and it has worked?

When you click on a link for a site it says "Check out with your chase card and your extra points will automatically appear on your statement." Does this provision not apply? Or does it mean any Chase card? I always assumed you had to use the card you were logged in with when you clicked through to the partner site.

If you could use any card, this could be a great way to earn points in two programs.

IE - Go to rewards mall and click through to Travelocity for double UR points, then pay with PRG Amex and get 3x points on airfare purchase!

UR points do not transfer to CO miles!
 

Sancho really needs to read up on the UR benefits! Tried to do an online transfer but keeps crapping out because: "Pointsdotcom service is not available". For giggles, this is the response I got:

Dear Robbert,

Thank you for contacting Chase.

I would like to inform you that since the Sapphire account
earns points and a Continental account earns miles the
option to transfer points from a Sapphire to a Continental
account is not available.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause
you. If you have any further questions, please reply using
the Secure Message Center.

Thank you,

:eek:

That's all you dude, just transferred to CO with a single glitch. Hope it works out.

Managed to get this done over the phone, the rep had some trouble to transfer himself but it worked in the end. He mentioned that the regular Sapphire does not transfer to CO, only the Sapphire Preferred, so that may have been the confusion.
