do you guys keep all of these cards and pay the annual fee each year, or cancel them right after you earn your points?

Have done the SW card (twice) and Marriott (once), (approx 70k points each) what card is the logical next step for meow meow?

classic daris.

yeah that was pretty funny. i don't think it's true though. i'm pretty sure there are probably other ways to get hilton gold for free. if i didn't already have it, i'd probably google it.

can you transfer personal Sapphire points to your business Sapphire account? Or do they all go in the same account?

yeah, I transfer all my ink UR points to my sapphire preferred UR account. also my freedom points. I'm going to get another ink later, move the sapphire preferred points there, sign up for another sapphire preferred, move the ink points back there. that's, like, over a billion UR points.

fill the left side (already have an account) out and give it a shot.

or you could try this. i mean, i'm just using google and have already come up with two possible ways. there is a report that the hp account doesn't need to even be active. like, you can just make one up.

CSP is discontinuing their 7% annual UR divident as of 12/31/15

Discontinuing 7% Annual Points Dividend
After 12/31/2015, you will no longer earn the 7% Annual Points Dividend. You will be awarded your final 7% points dividend in early 2016. You can still continue to enjoy the many other ways to be awarded rewards such as 2X points on travel and dining and 1 point on all other purchases.

...

They are also removing the double points on travel after 12/31/15

Earn on Travel
You will continue to earn an extra 1 point for each $1 of airfare and hotel accommodations booked through Chase.com/UltimateRewards until 12/31/2015. After that, you will no longer earn an extra point. We may periodically offer ways for you to earn bonus points through the program.

The 20% "discount" on travel is kind of a sham, too.  You can find just as good rates and mostly better buying directly from the airline, IME.  Same on hotels.

Yeah. Sometimes you can find better deals than standard awards if you absolutely have to use points, though. (At that point it's probably a good idea to use cash instead, but still)

i have basically used my UR points to purchase direct southwest flights to vegas for bachelor parties and phoenix for cats bowl games the last couple years (no other airline flies direct to those places out of MCI). actually not basically, that is exactly what i have used my UR points for.
