Any downside to using Chase Ink Preferred as my transfer partner access instead of a Chase Sapphire? Going to downgrade CSR as it isn't worth the fee to me, but I still want transfer partners. Was debating the downgrade to either the original Freedom or CSP, but I don't think I need the CSP if I have CIP. Thoughts?

Agreed - you can use CIP instead of CS without issue. Will you miss the +points spend categories though?

That sign up bonus is amazing - let me know if you need a referral link 🙂

I personally like to keep my CSP open for the extra 3x on streaming and grocery delivery (when I’m short on chase points vs the Amex gold), but if you’re not worried about category spend you don’t need it. Plus you can always sign up again 4 years after your open date and get the SUB again.
