Why only 95k as opposed to the full 120k

Because you said you already had 25k United points?

Also, whats the current sign-up bonus for the CSP?
It has gone to 50k a couple of times.

No, I actually have the standard sapphire

Without the Ink or the CSP you can not transfer to UR partners like United. You can only book travel through UR.

To really utilize UR points you need an Ink or CSP.

But what is magical about 120k? I have 120k UR points and I have 25k united points. Why wouldn't I transfer all 120K UR points to United and then I would have 145K?

I know. That's why I was asking my question. I currently have the regular sapphire, but I am thinking about getting the Preferred. I am basically just trying to figure out if the ability to transfer really makes that big of a difference.

UR points =/= Marriot points.


I understand that. But even if you value Marriott points at .85 x UR points (I think I remember seeing that on flyertalk or nerdwallet or something), it's substantially more than the CSP.
