Marriott Marquis Times Square New York — CSR portal or Bonvoy app?

I am planning to book 2 rooms at the New York Times Square Marriott Marquis. Refundable rate is same between Bonvoy member app and Chase Sapphire Reserve portal. I’m not accumulating Bonvoy points or status. Should I:

• Book using Chase portal and earn 8x UR points? However, forego free wifi ($17/day/room) and Marriott points?

——>> Does Marriott comp wifi as a courtesy for being a member but booking 3rd party?

• Book using Bonvoy member portal, earn XX number of points (still fuzzy on how many I will earn for 2 rooms), get elite night credits, get free wifi?

Unfortunately I'm only a lowly Member tier so no room upgrades or breakfast options for me through Bonvoy. Please help me figure out which option is most beneficial for me. Thanks!
