Chase recently updated their credit card landing page and I wanted to update my post, “How to combine Chase Ultimate Rewards.” I discovered a strange situation where I no longer had the option of combining points when starting the operation from my Premium Ultimate Reward Accounts that offer transferrable points: Chase Sapphire Preferred®, Chase Sapphire Reserve®, and Chase Ink Business Preferred®.
Premium Ultimate Rewards cards no longer showing “Combine Points”
As you can see below, the “combine points” button should populate in the “Rewards Details” section on the main landing page within Ultimate Rewards.
Cashback Cards still showing “combine points”
I thought perhaps this was a hiccup and only affecting my account. However, when I checked 3 other accounts, they faced the same situation. The only cards that could start the “Combine Points” transaction were the cards that earn cashback Ultimate Rewards: Chase Freedom Flex(SM), Chase Freedom Unlimited®, Chase Ink Business Cash®, and Chase Ink Business Unlimited®.
Can still merge between Premium Ultimate Rewards Accounts
However, once I go to Combine Points I can move between cards that earn transferrable premium Ultimate Rewards just fine, I just can originate from those accounts.
A possibly worrisome Recap
I’m hoping this is just some sort of technical issue and isn’t a sign that Chase may discontinue the ability to merge Ultimate Rewards between accounts, especially from those that are earned from their cashback cards that earn Ultimate Rewards. It’s a weird thing that all 4 accounts I checked are facing the same issue.
