Any good reason to keep Chase Sapphire Reserve now that the points is Chase freedom is about the same?

You need the reserve or preferred in order to have transfer them to ultimate rewards (so you can transfer to travel patterns or redeem on chase travel portal) otherwise it’s just cash back points I think

like

Other cards are still UR, you just don’t have the ability to transfer points to travel partners. And you lose the 50% multiplier when transferring points to the CSR for the Chase travel portal.

I’m trying to justify as well. There is still $300 of travel credit which is now expanded on what it can be used for. So after using this the cost of the card is in effect, $250.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the points go father when redeeming using the CSR as opposed to the other cards (higher multiplier), so if you have a lot of points in your account, it may make sense to redeem them prior to cancelling/downgrading

like

CSR gets redemption bonus (50% more if redeemed through portal plus transfer partners). Travel spending bonus for CFU and CFF are limited to the travel portal which has limitations (3rd party booking eliminates hotel rewards/elite earning, changing flights can be more restricted, prices can be higher, etc.).

Keep your CSR and get CFU and/or CFF. The CSR certainly took a devaluation with the new card offerings but the overall “Chase trifecta” may have actually improved

like

But you don’t have to hold on to the CSR all along the way you could just reapply when you’re ready to use the points

Would also like to know

It depends if you have a large stock pile of UR points or not

I am thinking of cancelling

Did they change something with the CSR?

Worth it to downgrade to CSP and keep that for transferring points

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use.

If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
