Re: What is more valuable as a whole: CSR vs AMEX SPG

50 nights isn't unusual for people who travel for work. It's how people get platinum or diamond status typically. I myself have stayed 75 nights in just Marriotts this year and I'm by no means a road warrior.

Who knows how long the Amex SPG program will even be around!

Who knows that the SPG American Express won't become a Marriott American Express?! ;-)

Re: What is more valuable as a whole: CSR vs AMEX SPG

This is merely off vacation. I do not travel for work. I've been on a whopping 11 vacations this year as I had 400hrs of time to burn. I can say that it will be at 0 by the end of this weekend. Smiley Very Happy Obtaining Platinum again next year will be rough, but I will try my hardest. I didn't know how long or what SPG will turn into over the next few years so I wanted to experience it at least once.

 

As for the points, they have so many easy bonuses (like double/triple points for staying on the weekend or stay at a Sheraton twice and get triple points) that it makes raking them up easy as long as you sign up for them as they toss them at you.
