Marriott Biz vs. SPG Biz
« on: May 29, 2017, 11:06:47 AM »
Now that Marriott and SPG are one, is there a reason to keep the SPG (assuming no transfers to flights)?  The Marriott gives me a free night for the same annual fee as the SPG and points can be used at Shreaton.

Starpoints are worth 3 Marriott points.

But isn't the Marriott getting me multiple points per $ while SPG is one for on?

Depends where you're spending. I'm not talking specifics, but if you were earning 1 on each, the spg is much better. Just food for thought.
