I am currently Gold Elite with Marriott with 0 nights this year and 83k points. Due to booking with AMEX travel, I do not get the nights counted towards my Marriott account. This is why I want to get a brand card.

I am using an AMEX plat card for all my purchases, I am a HEAVY traveler for work. Work expenses all of my travel and food, I can use my own personal card for all of the payments. I also get to decide the locations of my hotels/flights/rentals. I am currently National Executive Elite and use them for all rental cars.

I am also open to downgrading my AMEX plat card.

• Current cards: (list cards, limits, opening date)
  • Amex Plat, August 2025
  • CSP January 2025 (not used often)
• FICO Score: 760
• Income: $120,000 - $150,000
• Average monthly spend and categories:
  • dining $1500
  • groceries: $0
  • gas: $120
  • Hotel (Marriott): At least $4800
  • Flight (I travel from New Orleans to Spokane WA): $1200 average
• Open to Business Cards: Yes
• What's the purpose of your next card? Maximizing the value of my travel time, as I spend 20 days of the month in a Marriott hotel.
• Are you OK with category spending or do you want a general spending card? I use AMEX plat for everything at the moment, would like my hotel spending card to be Marriott. I am also considering a dedicated airline card.
