The fact Megan wasn’t flagged as my domestic partner might sway their willingness to hear an appeal. So I called the number on the back of my card to figure out my options. If your rewards program requires using your Chase credit card to redeem rewards, those rewards are no longer eligible for redemption once the account is closed. Any rewards remaining after that time will no longer be available. For example, if your account was closed on October 30, your points are accessible until January 30. In my letter, I was told:Įligible points can be accessed over three full months from the date that your account is closed. Many people only found out when their cards were rejected during a purchase. In my case, I was very fortunate that I got a letter from Chase before the account was closed. Other people included family members, and I’ll admit that’s still against Chase’s rules. And in fact, the vast majority of these combinations were from Megan, who probably qualifies as a domestic partner (at least, her employer’s health insurance plan seems to think so). I was not transferring them into the partner accounts of other people. I was not sending points to other people. That’s it, and it seems silly because other people were the active participants initiating the transfers. In my case, I got in trouble for receiving Ultimate Rewards points from other people who were not my spouse or domestic partner.
