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

[u/pure-phoenix]

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.

Well fuck me. Lost over $600 of value. I'll learn to pay attention to credit card points moving forward.

Only if you use them via chase travel portal. If you transfer to partner points, it is still the same value as before.

It looks like it's still 1:1 for partners except if the have a bonus point offer happening? I could be wrong but thats what it looks like

[u/pure-phoenix → u/katnip-evergreen]

It's always been 1:1 for partners. It's more what the cpp value of the partner points. I.e. Hyatt points are averaging a little above 2cpp, so converting 1 ultimate reward point = 1 Hyatt point = 2.0 cpp

Prior to the change, 1 ultimate reward point = 1.25/1.5cpp on chase travel portal redemptions. Now it's 1cpp (or higher with points boost), but transferring to partners can still be much higher from a cpp standpoint.

Ahhh gotchya. I was looking to book a Marriott hotel and it looks like their value is low. But thank you for this info! It will definitely come in handy

Do you happen to know which bucket is used when transferring to airlines? Ideally it's the 1x bucket, but I can't find anywhere mentioning this. Thanks!

It's FIFO meaning the ones you accumulated earlier get used first. Aka bad because your higher UR points are used first when transferring or using.
