Help choosing a new Marriott credit card—
I am looking for a new credit card for my husband to get him to Marriott Ambassador status this year. He travels frequently but only got to Titanium because he can’t always stay at a Marriott. He currently uses an Amex platinum personal credit card then gets reimbursed per his company policy. It’s great for Delta lounge access, so we will keep. This seems to limit utility of the most expensive Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant AmEx. Which card would you choose?

There’s no real big benefit to ambassador to be honest

I guess I should have made it more clear that there isn’t a big difference between titanium and ambassador. I’m also loyal to Marriott although the points don’t get you much but idk how they compare to other hotels

As a lifetime Titanium, I don't think Ambassador is worth the $23K spend.

The boundless (chase card) is a pretty easy card to get value. Annual 35k award night, 15 elite night credits and a sub for 5 50k nights (can add +15k pts per night to stay in some better places).

Card costs $95 but I wouldn’t put spend on it unless I was at a Marriott and strictly wanted to accumulate points

I’ve been a titanium for a few years and honestly it’s not worth the extra spend to go for ambassador status.
