The only thing I am worried about with chase UR is their Amtrak partnership. Next month the new Amtrak Guest Rewards card comes out from Bank of America, so it will be interesting to see if they remain a UR partner or not.
The amtrak program is changing so depending on how you redeem with them you may want to do your redemptions now. I forget when the changes kick in, for all I know they already did. It was a significant deval.

Sq = Singapore Airlines
Honestly, I am not super happy with Chase UR right now. The program has gotten fairly weak after the United deval and then the removal of some of the benefits from the CSP has been discouraging. The program is still viable but Citi is coming up fast and I feel may be only one or two big moves away from overtaking the program. It would not shock me if Chase came out with a new product over the next two years to replace the CSP.
If citi had domestic airline partner I think they would be better than chase. I am also down on chase I am retiring my csp next year, my dining gas travel spend will be moved over to citi premeir. Will still use my ink plus for transferring ur and getting 5x on cable and cell bill.
I will just see how everything plays out before getting too upset. I am going to do some downgrading of some cards after I return from Thailand. Citi aa,barclays aviator and edp are getting moved to no AF cards

Keep in mind with citi AA if you product change it resets the 18 month clock on the bonus for that card. I ended up keeping mine because of that and did spend to meet a retention offer. Besides The free checked back and priority boarding were worthwhile perks in case I want to take a quick flight someone. I wish some of those benefits were on the prestige though. I never got the everyday preferred, because my spend gets spread out too much to meet the requirements every month to make it worthwhile and I just got the regular amex everyday. However, if I were to go in to the garden for a prolonged period of time like a year or more I'd might consider upgrading to the preferred, but that is because I am doing an Amex MR push right now and trying to utilize that program more for flights, especially given the overlap with them and some of Citi's TY partners.
Yea my situation is a bit different trying to save all my Mr ur and typ for flight on Singapore, so I can spread it all around. I have around two hundred thousand Sq moles to play around with if I transfer Mr ur and typ all to Kris flyer miles. The 15%discount is nice with sq
I have about 9 months or so to see how everything plays out before the AF comes up next year. I don't want to make any hasty deccisons since I think its an lot more difficult to get chase cards with their new policy.
If things stay the way the way are , will just downgrade my CSP. I still have ink plus for UR points transfers. Will probably just move my restaurant spend over to Premeir not an huge deal. Right now i will split my restaurant spend on premeir csp and prg.
