Marriott has announced changes to its loyalty programs which now include SPG and Ritz. The changes extend to participation, how loyalty programs and points are earned, and to the participating credit cards (Chase and Amex). I'd like to get the collective wisdom of CB pros to understand the right plays and actions to take for greatest advantage. I've seen other related posts on this topic, but there is not one that seems to gather in all items; if I've missed a topic thread that already does so, please let me know. We travel now (mostly domestic, with 1-3 annual trips internationally), and will be doing more travel in the future. Goals for us are to: - Get value and rewards (cash and or points) for our spend and travel behavior / loyalty. - Get lounge access during trips Our CRA scores are all over 800, and there is not an issue meeting the spend requirements for premium cards. Currently, wife and I are both Marriott members (10 years), with gold elite status, and are both members of the SPG program. Our related CCs include: Chase Marriott Chase Sapphire Preferred Costco Visa Amex Blue Cash Preferred Questions: Which card(s) to get to leverage the changes and benefits: SPG card Ritz card Amex Platinum Chase Sapphire Reserve Thanks for your help.

What are your plans for Chase after full 5/24 implementation? I was considering a strategy with my wife where one of us doesn't open more than 4 cards over 24 months and the other apps for a lot of cards, but I'm not sure yet. Here's the plan for our current Chase cards: Me: Ink Plus-keep United MileagePlus Business-keep since it may open up more saver award space CSP-if I ever get back in with Citi, this is going to become a Freedom Unlimited Freedom-keep Marriott-keep for the free night Hyatt-keep for the free night British Airways-I will try to PC to a Freedom Unlimited for a few months. If that doesn't work, move the limit to my CSP and close the card. My wife: British Airways-try to PC to a Freedom Unlimited and if that doesn't work, move limit to Marriott Marriott-keep for the free night One thing we might consider if my wife not applying for too many cards for the next 24 months and then trying to get an IP and CSP. I think we need to wait just over a year at this point to get under that number.
