You guys are scaring me with all this transfer talk and have me convinced.
I am going to pull my UR's out and transfer them to UA.
I'm nervous about being A/A'd
I just did a triple and got approved for all 3: Hyatt, Freedom, and another Sapphire (converted the previous)
The CSR just approved me like nothing and gave me 12k on both the Hyatt and Freedom. I didnt have to transfer, cancel, or consolidate like they usually make me do.
Am I at risk? I presently have....
BA credit line 5.5k
United-5.5k
Southwest-5k
Sapphire MC-5k
Sapphire VISA-5k
Freedom-12k
Hyatt-12k

Dont remember exactly but I think around 140k.
Why? Is there a suspected formula?

No formula afaik. But they say it shouldn't be close to income.

But that's just one possible trigger. The Chase A/A thread has more suspected triggers listed, but when it comes down to it, no one knows for sure.

After reading these posts I'm trying figure out if there is any benefit to leaving it in ur? I have about 300 k should I just transfer them to united? Hyatt? I don't plan and using them anytime soon.

I would not leave them all sitting like that. For sure get some out now I would think.

I've taken out 110k, and will do the same with another 85k soon. So far they've all been to UA,
I'm just not sure if i should move some to Hyatt.

I split them 50/50 UA and Hyatt, though Korean can also make very good sense for folks in cities served by Alaska or Hawaiian.
