I already have CSR that gives me 3X UR points per $1. I’m a Marriott loyalist and thinking about getting Boundless that give 6X Marriott Points (MP) per $1. Right now 1 UR = 1 MP, should I get it?

Not to pay with it because Marriott points typically convert 3:1 with airlines (2.4:1 if you transfer in increments of 60k Marriott points) while UR transfer 1:1. So in effect you’re giving 3 airline miles for ~2. Now obviously if you’re either 1) looking to transfer to partners not covered by UR or 2) solving for hotel redemption it might make sense to switch.

I’m solving exclusively for Marriott redemptions. I’m gonna use UR for airlines and everything else.

Yes.

I'd get it. The annual free night award means the card pays for its own annual fee, so there is no downside beyond the credit pull and 5/24 rule.

Doing the same

What is CSR and UR?

CSR = Chase Sapphire Reserve
UR = Ultimate Rewards (Chase's point redemption)

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
