Problems Combining UR points between accounts

I have an Ink Plus account that I've been wanting to combine points with a Freedom card. I've gotten the 'unexpected error' for the longest time so I decided to call customer service. I simply gave the customer service person the last four digits of my Freedom account and told her I wanted all the points on my Ink Plus card (had the balance on my screen so told her the total amount of points) and she was able to transfer the points immediately without questions asked.

I got the same thing, unable to add my ink cash in combining account, "unexpected error".
It was there for a least 6 months and still not working.
I have to go through my wife's account to make it work.

combining points error message
I tried transferring (combining) points to member in the same household and got an error message that the member cannot receive points at this time.
Anyone has similar trouble and any way to get around this? We live in the same house (same address on file).

I've written a blog post that explains in more detail containing graphics for clarity. Let me know if it works for you.

Try this exercise. Let me know if it works for you.
Previously, we had combine with another account member in the household and did not "unlink" the account, thus it was creating the error.
Once we "unlinked" the account from the other household member and waited 24 hours, we were clear to add a new member.
Thank you all!

Curious if this "unexpected error" is persisting for any folks? Trying to combine points with my SO and keep encountering this error.
I notice there's no "Unlink" or "Remove saved card" option for my currently linked accounts. I have a CSP and CF, so was trying to follow @pallhedge's procedure
I've been encountering this since last Thursday 2/22. Called Chase member services with my SO's CSP account number and they're experiencing the same error :/

Other things to confirm: You and SO have the exact same mailing address for your Chase accounts, correct? Are there any other Chase cards that have ever combined points onto SO's card?

First of all, based on the image you posted, I don't see your SO's account, just your own. Can you not even successfully "Add Household Member"?

The phone rep also tried to link/connect our accounts -- that's when the "Unexpected error" occurs. I've tried logging into both my CF and CSP accounts, then trying to link with "Add household member" and both accounts encounter the same error
My SO has his CSP linked to his CIP and has transferred from the CIP account to the CSP, so I wonder if that is the issue. We just logged in to the CIP account and removed the CSP as a connection (it is the only UR account linked). We'll give it 24 hours to give it another attempt.

Waited overnight and just tried again, sure enough, I was able to "Add household member" to link the SO's account.
