Been rumored for quite some time. I highly doubt they'll make changes without warning.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

That could be the reason for 3x on the CFU, stopping the pooling would make that offer useless.

Still 3% CB, not totally useless.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

One minute. The Freedom card 3% offer applies to ALL points even the ones transferred in? This is news to me, i thought you get 3X on all spend.

FWIW, Chase execs told me this back in 2011 that they were looking into ending this. They didn't like the gaming of moving Freedom points to mileage transferring cards, but they did like having people whole wallet being Chase cards.

Always been hotly internally debated. I'll believe it when it's official.

Doesn't seem that they like that anymore.....
Again, any reason NOT to shift the points?

It happened to plenty of people with no gaming.

I just downgraded my CSR before fee. Is there a no fee card to transfer to to keep points value? I have freedom, freedom unlimitted, saphire (reg), and an ink plus (which i was also going to cancel, fee is next month).

Nope. Maybe consider keeping the Ink plus, or you can upgrade the card when you need it.
