My honest thoughts -- the earning rates should mean jack to anyone in this game and the transfer partners are nothing special since I was expecting Hyatt. The only value this card holds for the non-ms points & miles enthusiast is the easy acceptance, and even then I would rather risk a denial > recon path just to stay in a more useful ecosystem. Every card needs a secret sauce, and this card does not have a legitimate one, so it'll be a C tier in my book -- aka, not worth a 5/24 slot. If they were to match the BILT partners, thats when it would shoot up to a A tier maybe even S tier for a < $100 AF card,
Honestly, I just look to the BS podcast to lay down the final law on any and every credit card/travel related topic now haha. Great episode guys, totally agreed, not the partners people expected, but great partners nonetheless covering all areas of travel!
The extra multiplier from status applies regardless of the credit card you use so the Marriott card would only be 6X. For example, with titanium status, you would earn 17.5X points credited to your Bonvoy account independent of the credit card used.

The SUB is weak. My CSP was 80k. I’ll consider the card when if there is a higher SUB and more transfer partners.
Why not get both? $95 AF is pretty good for 60k transferrable points 😆
@@LK_EBM6/24 and I want to get under 5/24. I prefer Chase Ink cards.

About the Marriott 6x multiplier: it goes up if you have status, which comes with the card.

I will be sold if they get Hyatt. Chase rules suck and I want another option. Bilt card not an option for me since I don’t pay rent
