Why not upgrade to CSR and cash out for 1.5?

not everyone has grocery bills! To the point these are all good ideas, but some people still prefer to sell their points and get cash for it.

He wants to know if the points in his wife's account will still be considered clean, ie is UR "laundering" an issue.

So you'd rather get 1.2 over 1.5 because you have too many points?!
that's $600 for 200k points!

Whenever someone mentions transferring UR points they are always immediately told to apply/upgrade to CSP. But someone don't have any Sapphire cards just Ink and can't get due to 48 month rule.
