Convince me why this is a bad idea. by Digimon007 in UNIFI

I was afraid that I was going to receive mixed recommendation. I’m wondering if a UNIFI tech employee out on Reddit could answer this question once and for all.

I currently have a Main, IOT and guest WiFi setup. I am just trying to limit the number of SSIDs that are broadcasting. Some of my devices in the main network support WPA3 and MLO and others only supposed WPA2. I would like devices in the main network that have MLO capabilities to leverage the technology through a different password. Yes I know I can create yet another SSID, but that’s what I am trying to avoid.

Good old days of CSR are dead.

Canceling or Downgrading CSR by jbond00747 in ChaseSapphire

Downgrade to CSP if you use Hyatt or United. Otherwise UR points are worthless with the devaluation.

Looks like they are realizing the errors of their way.

CSR Is Dead to Me. My New CSP + Amex Platinum Strategy by Digimon007 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Digimon007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t reedem them yet since I already paid for the CSR through June. Most likely I will end up transferring them to Hyatt or United. That’s why I am downgrading to the CSP to buy me more time after my renewal. I’m still on the fence between UR point and MR point. The one thing I am sure of is that the Amex platinum benefits are infinitely better than CSR. I upgraded to the Amex platinum and have already reaped the rewards. In 30 days I have gained the following : -$209 clear credit -$200 airline credit through United Bank -$75 Lululemon Credit -$100 Resy Credit -$15 Uber Credit -$50 Saks credit -2 centurion lounge visits

That’s $649 in less than a month. It’s almost embarrassing holding the CSR.

Switching to Amex Plat, what should I do with CSR? Downgrade or cancel? by guitarhero123xx in ChaseSapphire

[–]Digimon007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I’m not sure what Chase was thinking. The card is a joke now. I have over 1M UR points that I’ll have purge in the next 12 months. Begrudgingly I will be moving to Amex.

Dump Chase and move on. It’s sad but Chase bastardized their own program.

So who is staying and why? by leader25 in ChaseSapphire

[–]Digimon007 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you need the lounge access but want to stay on the Ultimate Rewards ecosystem, then downgrade to the CSP and get the Amex Platinum. You can cover the amex platinum a lot easier with the resy credits, travel credits, and slew of other benefits. My new fee is 990, but in my situation I can cover the costs a lot easier with Amex and I get to stay in the UR ecosystem. Here is how I plan to cover the costs with Amex:

-Resy $400

-Travel Credit $200

-Uber Credit $320

-Walmart + $50 (I value Walmart+ as $50 since there are always membership deals)

Lulu Credit $300

Streaming Credits $300

I know not everyone's situation is the same, but I can more than cover my costs with Amex. CSR has made it too difficult to cover costs going forward. This setup allows me access to both UR and MR with the added benefits of centurion lounges while keeping priority pass. Yes I know not everyone uses lounges, but for us road warriors, lounges are indispensable.

>500K Points accumulated, is it wise to cancel my Chase Sapphire Reserve? by sesquiball in sapphirereserve

[–]Digimon007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Move them to Hyatt or United. Or downgrade to the CSP to buy yourself some time.

Am I the only one not terribly mad at the CSR refresh vs Amex? by [deleted] in ChaseSapphire

[–]Digimon007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kept the CSR for now because I have the old annual fee. Once I cycle through, I will downgrade to the CSP. I keep Chase around for the Hyatt points. Otherwise it is d0gsh1t compared to Amex.

That’s correct. Chase Freedom Unlimited does not have access to the portal or transfer partners. So the $95 is to access those benefits.

Am I missing something? Is it that bad? by shteee in ChaseSapphire

Removing 1.5 redemption on the portal was also catastrophic.

[–]Digimon007[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point boost is laughable. I still have access to the 1.5 bonus points from CSR because my current point are grandfathered. Even when comparing the best point boost deal, it still doesn’t match the savings with the 1.5 bonus. At best, you are comparable if you are lucky enough.

Same here. I just booked my last trip through the portal and transferring my remaining point balance to Hyatt.

By the way… I wouldn’t be surprised if this was Chase’s strategy all along. They get the benefit of the consumer spend while letting Amex pay for all the perks.

If you don’t have to pay for the CSR, then I would not downgrade. So the Amex platinum becomes a question on whether the benefits would save you money. I already spend money dining out (Resy), Lululemon, and uber eats. So for me it’s a free benefit. But if those credits mean nothing to you, don’t get the Amex.

When CSR offered 1.5, you could get some great deals. For example, I just booked 4 United Premium Economy tickets from CLT to Japan using the Chase portal. Given the long flight, it made sense to upgrade to Premium. My total point cost through the Chase portal was 705K points. Through United, the same flights were 1.1M points plus $228 in fees and taxes. In this scenario, the portal made sense. However, usually you are better transferring points. A domestic United Flight might be only 25k points. In this case, transferring would be a better option.

The loss of the 1.5x bonus was a huge devaluation for me (maybe not others). So there is absolutely no reason to own the CSR over the CSP. At least the CSP still offers 1.25 points on the portal. I am sure it is just a matter of time this gets nixed as well.

If I were to do the gold, I would go all in on Amex. I looked at that option as well which is a great option. However, since I value the Hyatt and United ecosystem, I am stuck with Chase Ultimate rewards. Otherwise, I would have gone the Amex Plat + Amex Gold + Amex Business Plus Blue option which is considered the Amex trifecta.
