Chase UR point are earned by many of their cards: freedom, sappire, ink.  They are transferable between accounts (instantly).  To transfer them to airline points you need a SP or ink.
The sell value is about 1.8 cpp.  Their travel value....priceless!

I have a AMEX Gold Delta card and a Chase Ink Visa Signature card. Is one better than the other for car rental insurance coverage?
TIA

I believe yes, based on your existing CL. I would try if I was you
I just applied for the Chase United Millage Plus Card online and was instantly approved for a 5K CL. My thanks to you for your suggestion and thanks to Dan for this forum.

The Citi info in the wiki here should really be reviewed. Many of those cards don't exist anymore, the WMC isn't listed, and some links are dead. Not sure who has the power to update wikis, but this one could use an overhaul. :)

Which is the issue since he doesn't list any Citi links there. :)

If he doesn't list it so put the links that are going around the forums and internet. He's not losing money if he don't have the links anyways.

Blue.
Blue Sky? I'm assuming that earns MR as well? Would I receive the bonus for downgrading if I've never had the card before?

IME, no bonus points for downgrading.  Blue earns MR, Blue Sky, AFAIK, does not.
