No, CSR actually has a greater point (value) return per dollar spent, even at SPG.

Just curious - CSR gives you 3x UR, and Spg Amex is 2x spg points, however spg is worth more than 1.5c/point - why is CSR give you more value then?

5.4c/$1...my bad.

^ that assumes you value an SPG point at more than 2.2 cents? And you have to pay an extra $95 per year. I say go just CSR

Yes but it's going away once marriwood merges

The SPG 35k promotion ends tomorrow I think

If you're planning on transferring it to airlines specifically when the SPG card is better since you get 5k extra for every 20k transferred to airlines (AA)

I have my doubts about the 2.1 cent UR valuation, I don't think it's real. I believe 1.5 is a lot more accurate because I don't know anyone that was able to redeem UR points other than from booking travel direct from the portal with a 1.5 cent valuation. So, in that case - the SPG card has better value for SPG hotels.

^ I find the 2.4 cent valuation for SPG to be quite accurate. CSR is 450, or effectively 150 with travel credit. Still much higher than SPG. I call the fees pay to play, and pretty much a wash since you get the night/stay credit towards status and boingo internet free around the world with the SPG business card. I still suggest paying SPG hotels with the spg card, and all others with CSR
