Anyone able to confirm this can transfer to airlines?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

BRG is a charge card, this is a CC, you can't change between the two.

Charge cards don't have a "credit line"

For what it's worth...
I just chatted with 'Fela' on the Amex site and he/she confirmed that if this was the only card I own I would still be able to transfer the points.

Still somewhat meaningless until it's confirmed, I've been told countless things that have later been proven false

"However, that’s not even an issue here, as the Membership Rewards points earned with the Blue Business Plus Credit Card can be transferred to all of Amex’s airline and hotel transfer partners. This is incredible for a no annual fee card."

New Topic: (Please refer me to the right thread if this is incorrect)
I use Blue business plus for general spending, Amex everyday/GOLD for groceries, Amex Gold/Chase ink for gas, freedom for bonus categories. These cards work for me in sync with sapphire reserve and Amex business platinum.
Any reason to keep my personal platinum, sapphire preferred, united explorer or ink? I feel like I spend too much on annual fees? Any advice would be appreciated!

Not sure if this is in jest, but you can definitely ditch the Sapphire Preferred if you have the CSR (and intend to keep it).

Why wouldn't you keep ink for 5x?
