Moving points to get a new Chase Sapphire Reserve
I have Chase freedom and Chase Sapphire Preferred. I have around 100K points in Preferred. I talked to customer care and I was told I can apply a new Chase Sapphire "Reserve" with 50K bonus and it has to be a new application. Also since I already have Preferred, I cant have a new one unless I degrade Preferred.
So i was planning to move my points from Preferred to Freedom, degrade Preferred to a normal card, wait for sometime like a month and then apply for Reserve. Once Reserve comes, I will move those 100K points to the new card.
Is this plan OK? Basically I want to get the new customer 50K bonus points from Reserve and close my Preferred.

Welcome to FT.
Read this thread: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chas...st-2018-a.html Has it been 48 months since you received your bonus pts for the CSP? Don't believe everything a rep. tells you.

IME closed accounts are sometimes still accessible online for a short period of time after closing, but I've no idea exactly how long. To see if it's still accessible online, log onto Chase, click on the little person icon in the upper right...click "personal details" from the drop-down. On the page that comes up, on the left-hand side you'll see a "Show or Hide Accounts"...click on that and "if" the account in question is still accessible, it will show up as an option. If not then I'm not sure if there's another way to access closed account statements online.

- As Phil wrote above, ensure that it's been at least 48 months since you got your CS Preferred signup bonus. If not, you can stop here as you're not eligible to be approved for a CS Reserve
- Downgrade your CSP to a 2nd Freedom or a Freedom Unlimited. You don't need to move any points first, your CSP UR points will stay with this card.
- Wait a week, then you can apply for CSR. Once you are approved and the card is in your account, you can combine points from your other Freedom cards onto the new CSR.

You're not eligible for the signup bonus. you can still get the card.

I have moved your posts into the thread discussing this change, which was made in August 2018. The policy applies only to Sapphire branded cards. Most other Chase cards have a 24 months (since last new account bonus) policy. Read the terms of the offer for certainty.

No doubt in my mind that instituting the 24 month rule kept a lot of people from cancelling the CSR - my guess is that the implementation of the 48 month rule had a similar (but lesser) effect.

Chase points
Trying to get 85k points in order to transfer to united for a trip next year. I have enough points for one ticket but I am shooting for one more. I didn't see any good offer with chase other than sapphire preferred for 50k ( to have wife open) and I can get the reserved for an additional 50k ( I already have the preferred).
Any suggestions or ideas ? its been a while since i signed up for cards. i think its been at least 2 years for both of us.
Thanks!

Alas, when you read the terms of a Sapphire Preferred or Sapphire Reserve offer you will see that you must now wait 48 months since your last Sapphire new account bonus.
If you need 85,000 points this would seem to be a perfect match:
