Best card to use to book Marriott directly out of my options for most value (titanium elite)? Chase Bonvoy Boundless, Amex Plat, CSR. The boundless offer says up to 17x points per dollar, but based on valuation do the other options still make more sense?

Have it. Doesn’t really help for a noob with this q

CSR has always been the top for Marriott stays. The 17x includes the points your status will bring you, regardless of the card.

If the Marriott is part of Amex’s FHR group and the prices are the same, I go with Amex plat every single time. You get the FHR benefits (look it up if you are unaware, 5x MR per dollar spent, and elite status benefits.

If the the Marriott is not part of FHR, I use the CSR (downgraded to CSP). That’s the best 2nd option.

Not really. The CSP gets 2x per dollar spent , and the CSR gets 3x per dollar spent.
