"Shop through Chase" nerfed

BottomRanker · ‎12-30-2014

I was looking around and all the useful stores are no longer available. Even iTunes has gone missing.

Anyone else can confirm?

I see where you can still buy itunes gift cards. Is that what you're talking about?

I still have iTunes on mine. Since the redesign I noticed that I always have to search for the stores to quickly find the one I'm looking for. The redesigned UR websites looks nice but I sort of feel it has been dumbed down.

I noticed you have the Sapphire Preferred and the Freedom. I happen to not have a CSP right now.

Anyone else with a UR card can confirm what I've seen?

It doesn't matter whether someone has the CSP or not, the shopping portal is the same. The Freedom and the CSP are both UR cards. I just logged onto my g/fs account and she only has the Freedom. The iTunes gift card is there

I'm not talking about redeeming for gift cards. I'm talking about shopping (see the subject title!) aka earning points. iTunes is no longer a retailer in my list of stores.

And yes, it does matter which UR card(s) you have. I'm trying to figure out if your spending patterns also affect what stores come and go in your UR program.

Misunderstood what you're asking. iTunes does not show up in either my account or hers

I spoke too soon. When I'm in the UR portal under my freedom card there is no way to get to the iTunes store. When i switch it to CSP I'm able to get 4pts/$ on iTunes purchases. Sorry for the confusion, I really assumed that the shop through chase would be the same since both cards are UR cards.

I see all the normal stores like Target, Home Depot, Staples, etc. Don't see itunes, but I never searched for itunes before anyway...

I don't see why Chase would nerf their cb portal since they make money every time someone uses them. It would only be their loss since there are plenty of other cb sites out there.

Interesting... So there are additional cb stores/options for those with AF cards?
