losing points when closing a card?
« on: October 17, 2013, 03:53:15 PM »
Hi,

I currently have 2 Ink cards, and want to close one of them (I don't live in the US anymore and have other cards I want to keep open). They are telling me that I will lose the UR points associated with that account, even if I keep the other Ink card open. Anyone know if I need to HUCA, or is that the policy?

Thanks,

Offline Dan

You can transfer points from one card to another on chase.com
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.

Retentions gets paid based on people not cancelling their account.

Amex (chat) told me the same thing while canceling my Platninum.  My response?  "I still have other MR cards open so I should not lose those points."  Their response: "Let me check for you....I see you are right."  DROP(or chat)R
