As if dealing with the implications of the new tax law wasn’t painful enough, I’m also dealing with the reality of Marriott’s watering down of all my SPG points. Yeah I know. First world problems.
I’ve had both an SPG business and personal AMEX for years and now have 1.7MM points at Marriott.
Monthly spend between my two cards is roughly $15k/mo with only $1-2k/mo at Marriott properties.
Everything I’ve read says Chase Sapphire is the better card now except for Marriott on prem bonuses on the Marriott AMEX. Points Guy has points valued at $.02 versus $.009.
So I’m thinking of slowly redeeming all my Marriott points, moving almost all new spend to Chase but keeping the Marriott AMEX for Marriott-only spend. Or maybe it’s not worth keeping the Marriott AMEX (old SPG) at all?
Thoughts from the reward experts on OB?
