Question for SD or RD or anyone else who may know. I'm going to apply for the Sapphire Preferred here in the next few days. My wife already has a Freedom card (which I'm an authorized user on) that we've had for a while and have a decent amount of Ultimate Rewards points accumulated. Obviously, I want to be able to transfer those points to the Sapphire Preferred and subsequently to a hotel/airline program when the time comes. My question is, if I sign up for the Sapphire card, will we be able to transfer those UR points from the Freedom card to my Sapphire account or can we only transfer them to an account in her name? Essentially, could we transfer her Freedom UR points to my Sapphire Preferred UR account?
Will eventually have Sapphires for both of us, but with the spend requirement, I'll only do one at a time. So, if we won't be able to transfer across accounts, I'll get her the Sapphire first as opposed to me. Any one know or have any thoughts?
