CSR vs. Marriott Bonvoy Boundless

Anonymous — Fri, 01 Mar 2019 16:56:10 GMT

Hey guys,

Just want people's opinions...Need another travel card and both of these are appealing and will get them down the line, but which first? Here are my stats:

All FICO 8: EQ, EX, TU are 740

AAoA 5-8 years (by bureau)

Income: six figures

Inq: 2/24

3 revolving accounts, mortgage

Util: 8%

Chase checking account

Marriott Platinum Elite Status

Other cards: Cap One Venture 30K CL, 2 other cap one cards from past total CL 2650

I think I should app for the CSR first and then the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless or Brilliant (Marriott Platinum Elite), or is the other way around better because of the co-branded way in the door? Any thoughts appreciated.

my take is what is your 5/24 status before you think about applying for any other cards? I personally would go for CSR first. Second question would be is how often do you stay at marriot branded hotels because if i were to go for a secondary chase card for just hotels hyatt would be my choice before marriott.

On a side note what are your goals for getting travel cards ? I mean if you are going to stack UR points then i would look at getting one of the chase ink cards to supplement UR points.
