I know that you get now very little with amex marriott points only 2x per dollar but if I need marriott points is it still worth? Because if i would need to transfer chase points then it for sure isn't worth.

I have another spg and they increased the AF it doesn't pay for me to keep both
Keep both cards and sell the 2 free nights for more than the annual fees.
I was the Best,still the Best, and will always be the Best.

Right, I have both business and personal, and 5 Amex credit cards in total, I want to apply for the blue business plus, I will either close the personal or the Simply Cash Business card since it stopped giving x 5% cash back on gift cards at both Staples and OD, making it a useless card to me.

What's the fastest way to find the places that are eligible for the free night in nyc?
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

if I cancel the card after the free night is awarded, will it affect the unused award night?

how long after the AF is posted to the account can I expect for the free night to post to my Marriott account? I called and asked for them to accelerate it because I want to use it, but they said it's 8-12 weeks and it can't be accelerated.

Anyone got theirs before 8 weeks?

On my AMEX business card the AF hit on 4/24 and I got the free night on 6/3. On my regular consumer AMEX card the AF hit 5/16 and the free night posted 7/2.

i don't see the reason to keep my Amex Business SPG (now Marriott) open with a $125 annual fee. way too much of a hassle to get real worth out of the annual free night at a cat 5. am i missing some other good value?
