So it seems that (a) transfer all Ultimate Rewards points to a CSR account (unless you have so many points it doesn’t matter), (b) you could transfer them back to another Chase Ultimate Rewards user (e.g., a spouse with CSP) if that user needs, say, a United Airlines award transfer to their Mileage Plus account for award travel. Did I understand that conclusion correctly?
