Please let me know if my math is correct and your thoughts.
Currently there are two offers I am considering to use for my 5th of 5/24.
1. 80,000 Marriot Rewards after $3K + 7500 for AU (+the usual, anniv. free night...)
2. 5 Marriot Points per dollar for the first year upto $30K/150,000 Marriot Rewards + 7500 Marriot Rewards.
So here is the craziness...
Spending $30K on option 1. will net 117,500 MRP = 39,167 SPG
2. will net 157,500 MRP = 52,500 SPG
In practicality If I go with option 1. then I wouldn't spend all $30K on the card, It would be split between 1. and the SPG card, so then a new and the best option is to do this
3. $3k for min. spend on option 1. = 87,500 MRP = 29,166 SPG + $27K spent on my SPG card = 56,166 SPG
any alternate opinions or confirmations would be great.
Thank You!
PS: I'm platinum SPG, I travel to Asia a lot so I convert most of my SPG into miles, I rarely have an opportunity to benefit from any of the other perks of the cards.
