Maybe it's time for me to figure out how to churn my CSR. No Sapphire bonus since 8/2018.
The recommendation is PC it to a freedom card and wait 4 days to apply…if you cancel it’s a 30 day wait
I knew some of you would figure out what I was up to 
I am now actively planning for this, not speculating and that is what has caused me to add a P3 and P4 as I'm Bonvoyed out of new SUBs 
It's gonna cost me 600K BonBlah points with 5th night free and I refuse to transfer URs or MRs despite the CPP value.
Has anyone done this while having existing reservations booked under CSR on the portal? I don’t know why I’m so afraid of something going wrong with those if I PC. Plus I have some flights booked where I paid taxes with the CSR for the insurance. I guess I’d lose that when I take the flights in 2025. Off to weigh risk/reward trade off.
That's just crazy - because that doesn't even include the Masai Mara National Reserve entrance fee which I read is $200/day/person.
I have done a PC with hotels booked using URs …the reservations stayed the same….no idea on the insurance part, but I guess you could PC it back to a CSR before the trip
I am also considering it's about time to churn my Sapphire. Has anyone recently had success PCing to the old Freedom Card (the Visa that has the rotating categories?) We have "extra" of the CFF cards but they don't work at Costco so we can never use that category. I am always tempted to try to PC one of the CFFs or a CFU for that card but I don't know if they let you do that since they are all in the same family of cards?
About a year ago I PCd a CSR to the old freedom card…don’t have a more recent DP though
Ooh, didn’t know that! Ordered 2 this morning, will try some more.
Did you accomplish it via SM or did you have to call? What is the exact name of that card?
Not the person you asked, but pretty sure you always have to call Chase to SM because they have to read you some terms. It’s just called Chase Freedom. ( there is also a freedom unlimited and a freedom flex, but you don’t want those!) no idea if it is still available though.
Trying to decide if I should downgrade my AMEX BCP to the BCE. I got it March 2023 and my AF just hit last week. It's $95 and I know I more than recoup that with 6% cash back on groceries for the firs $6K spend. Which BTW I forgot about the 6K limit last year which I hit back in Oct., but still kept putting the majority of my grocery store purchases on that card. Currently I also have the Plat and DH has the gold, so I'm trying to weigh if the 4x MR are worth more than the 6% cash back? Also, I'm trying to cut back on some of the Annual Fees we pay.
I just called and was told NO that card is no longer available. I explained that I know that card is not available for new applications but I was told by 'someone else' that you could still do a product change to that card. The woman told me no repeatedly so I gave up with her. Do you think it's worth a HUCA?
