Have CSR. Thinking of getting either the Bonvoy Brilliant Amex or Bonvoy Boundless Amex to use ONLY for my Bonvoy stays (I travel weekly). The 6x Bonvoy points per stay and the 3x CSR points per stay

make it kind of a wash considering .008 vs. .015 redemption values. But the sign up bonus and free night would make it worth it I think. Thoughts??

You're not using the CSR points very well if you're only getting 1.5 cents per point. Regardless, would prefer the CSR points because they have greater flexibility

Personally, I find Hyatt the best "easy to use" transfer partner. Should be able to get at least 1.8 cents of value per point, often more if you're smart on how you use it.
I actually have both cards anyway though! The Marriott card is worth keeping for the annual free night alone

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?
