Risk redeeming borrowed UR points??
« on: September 14, 2011, 02:23:55 PM »
I have signed up for the Chase sapphire card, I met the spend requirement in middle of the month, and I needed the points desperetly, so I called up the executive office to expedite that, and they did so. So I got my 50,000 in middle of the statement. Now my statement date closed, and I see that I got again 50,000 points.

What are my chances to stay with this?? and what will happen if I redeem it today??
Any experience? Advise? greatly appreciated.

Don't want to give you bad advice, but it looks like they made a mistake. I would transfer them out to an airline or hotel club fast. But don't take my word for it.

Chase does have record that the transferred that points to your accounts, but I will still transfers them out and if they come to ask you where is the points tell them I used them because I thought these points where giving me as the agreements of signing up for this card.

Chase has definitely practiced clawback in the past. Transfer out at your own risk.

When? I never heard of a time where they took points back.

I guess Chase hasn't kept you in the loop. File a complaint.

How about here for one source?

Slightly off topic, but is it possible to 'borrow' UR points like you can with MR points?

Never took it back, worked on 4 accounts so far with great luck. But used to work only at the Executive office. about 2 month ago they had done a huge crackdown, and they never are giving those points manually at all, they say that they used to monitor the accounts, but since it caused a lot of doubles and triples, they totally stopped adding any bonuses manually. I know about 10 people that tried since then with no luck!

All of those accounts were NOT abused, they were all staying in the account for quite a while, in case they want to take it back, they were very welcome. Technically they never didn't.
They reason why they were advanced, because they actually were used for immediate travel, and that was the given reason. No abuse, no nothing.
I don't think that requesting points to be advanced for a good reason, and letting them take it back, is called abuse. I would rather call it a lack of responsibility from their side.
