Will Chase launch Ritz-Carlton credit card again?

[simplynoir]

Considering the Bonvoy (I really hate that name) cards have been devalued from everyday use since the merger I see no acceptance issues because the hotels will take their own cards regardless of the network they are on so I don't see why that would be a problem. And the agreement between Chase/AMEX already drew the lines on what markets they get to have so unless that gets renegotiated in the future I don't see this card being relaunched any time soon.

Right, but you can’t assume that ALL customers will exclusively use their hotel cards at just that hotel. There are many who don’t frequent Reddit/FT/here who enjoy the simplicity of amassing their points on the brand’s credit card they are loyal to, regardless of where they choose to shop. This is often overlooked in these discussions.

And yes, I despise the Bonvoy name as well.

Not to worry. Very soon all of us who have SPG or Marriott cards will be issued Bonvoy cards, and more thread titles will have that ridiculous name.

I don't think it would break my heart if my personal SPG were transitioned to a Chase Visa much like the Hilton Citi-> AMEX transition;  it would backdoor 5/24, the card would still earn BonVoyage points,  and it would free up both AMEX CL and a revolver slot.

I wish! It’d be nice to have a true visa infinite issued by a major bank.

I like the conjecture that $95AF Amex spg will be transfered to Chase. Otherwise, it may be not a good deal for Chase, which only issues $95AF while Amex can issue both $95AF and exclusively $450AF.

A nice PERK to add would be platinum status at a $450 level. 

This will probably be my last post about marriott since well i was a 4 year re-buy status person. Yes i got platinum an used points to keep it and it was well worth it. I had the Ritz card and loved it but last year i went thru a half a million points just before i switched to the HILTON card that yes i PAYED to get top status.

If marriott ever came back with a card that gave platinum status then i might come back and chat some more on here about there cards.

Yall have a great week and my rant is over.

I agree @simplynoir......not a fan of Bonvoy. And I don’t see the Ritz card coming back, it’s already been replaced. 

I hope your right @NRB525 about the regular SPG eventually going to Chase.
