Chase Ink Preferred used to earn 3x Chase Ultimate Rewards points on Cashstar purchases. I’m not sure when this stopped working (around February 18th) but these purchases are no longer coding and earning 3x. It hasn’t been a good few weeks for these types of changes, with the following happening:
- No more 5x on MPX when using Platinum cards
- Giftcardmart no longer earning 5x on Chase Ink Plus/Cash
- Gamestop no longer allowing Gamestop GC to Amazon GC conversions
- Alliant shutting down giftcards.com purchases
Cashstar was important as some retailers used it for their gift card sales (e.g Best Buy) and they often had discounts. We’ve added this change to the Payments Workshop.
