Yes, as does upgrading directly to CSR for those unsure of enough credit to qualify. Also, some may view it as risky storing your Sapphire points in a Freedom account, if even temporarily.

Yes, you can product change your Freedom card (provided you've had it for at least a year) to the CSR. (The process will be easier if you have a $10K or greater credit limit on the Freedom.)

Where is the definitive list of cards that earn Ultimate Rewards?
Of the Chase Business cards (https://creditcards.chase.com/small-business-credit-cards), it looks like the only card that earns UR is the Ink Business Preferred credit card (which I just cancelled in October 2018. I was kind of hoping for another business card because it would not affect my 5/24 record.
I'm trying to 'earn' a UR sign-up (and spend) bonus but I'm having a hard time finding a card for which I can apply. I think I've had all of the UR earning cards.

So has anyone got a Sapphire bonus again? This policy isn't 4 years old so nobody has reached 48 months since this policy was instituted?
And can you get the bonus if you have one of the cards already or do you have to have neither card for the 4 years before you apply and receive the bonus?

I thought Ink Cash was replaced by Ink Preferred, so you can no longer apply for Ink Cash?

2. Yes, there are people who have received multiple Sapphire bonuses. (Via the now-shut-down double dip and the current MDD.)
4. You cannot currently hold a Sapphire card when you apply and it must be 48 months since your last Sapphire bonus to qualify.

Oh never mind. For some reason I was thinking of Ink Plus, not Ink Cash.
Ink Cash may earn UR points but they can't transfer them to airlines, so it's confusing to see it listed with those premium Chase cards.
What is the "now-shut-down double dip and the current MDD?"

UNLESS you, or a member of your household, have one of the cards that is eligible to transfer. In that case you can Combine points and Transfer the points earned with INK Cash or INK Unlimited or Freedom or Freedom Unlimited.

STOP! Read carefully. Combine and Transfer are distinct processes. Combine moved points from one UR account to another. Transfer moves points out of UR to an airline or hotel partner program. To Transfer you must have one of these cards in your household: JPM Reserve, Sapphire Reserve, Sapphire Preferred, INK Preferred or the discontinued INK Plus.
