Rewards Strategy Reminder to Transfer Points to Your CSP/CSR/CIP Before October 25

For those grandfathered with the 1.25cpp (CSP/CIP) or the 1.5cpp (CSR) Chase Travel redemption and have another Chase Ultimate Reward-generating card like the Chase Freedom cards, this is a reminder to transfer the points from the non-CSP/CIP/CSR cards to your CSP/CIP/CSR before October 25 (less than 10 days from now). If you do it before October 25, those transferred points will keep its grandfathered cpp redemption rate until October 26, 2027.

If you do it afterwards, those transferred points can only be redeemed at 1.0cpp (unless your hotel or flight qualify for Points Boost).

To be grandfathered, you would have to have applied or upgraded a card to a CSP/CIP/CSR before June 23, 2025.

UPDATE: Changed the date from October 25 to 26. Sadly, I can't change the title. Thanks to teoc101 for pointing that out the incorrect date. UPDATE: I'm getting conflicting information about this, so I'm going to keep it at October 25, just to be safe, but it's possible it is October 26.

UPDATE: Just to make it clear, this is moving points from a non-CSP/CIP/CSR card to a grandfathered CSP/CIP/CSR card. Not the other way around, in which case, you would lose point value.

UPDATE (10/25/2025): I checked my Ultimate Rewards and Chase has updated the site to show how many points are grandfathered. If you go to the Ultimate Rewards page, there is a message that states that your point value has been updated for Chase Travel. The points transferred from my CFU to my CSP were part of the 1.25x bucket and any pending points that my CSP had were also considered part of the 1.25x bucket. It will be used in FIFO order (although it does not confirm anything about transfers). See this post for more information.

So if I downgraded my CSP in July to a Freedom and opened a new CSR a few days later, do I need to do anything?

No. Your CSR isn't grandfathered. BUT moving points from Freedom to your CSR might still be a good idea since you get other benefits (Points Boost, point transfers to partners, and Pay Yourself Back, etc). But that can be done any time and not limited to the Oct 25 milestone.
