married couples can combine UR accounts?

yeah, you actually used to be able to transfer your points to anyone else's UR account but they shut that down

Credit card rookie alert

So you're saying I can cancel my CSP, turn right back around and get another, and take advantage of the new member rewards, provided I have had mine for 2 plus years already?

What happens to my current points? Do I need to transfer them to another card, or points program before canceling?

I'm sure it's here, so can someone link me to the discussion of how to go about getting the SW companion pass? Feel free to just reply if that's easier.

mocat · « **Reply #6737 on:** March 04, 2015, 04:20:31 PM »

Not really but the card gives you a free night at any IHG every year

also, I'm ready to talk about how great UR points are again with real experience that is definitely right this time.

I was able to book a flight for 2 directly through UR that was not available on AAAdv rewards. I also noticed that 1, you dont have to pay the extra $150 just for using your points that AA makes you pay and 2, you get AAAdv rewards miles for those flights as if you had paid cash at AA for them.

WOW! my calculator batteries are dead, but i would love to see an analysis on reward value for this real to god true life scenario.
