If SPG:Marriott is 3:1, why are we using CSR instead of Amex SPG?

U can transfer points to Marriot and transfer that to SPG. Also CsR is 3x on basically everything a consultant spends $ on. Better benefits.

@A1 Yeah, but CSR:Marriott is 1:1. That means if you have 9 CSRs, you have 9 Marriotts and 3 SPGs. Vice versa, if you are staying at Marriott with points, you can transfer from SPG with more points than from CSR because Amex SPG is $1:1 SPG

It’s the flexibility. If you’re fine with just earning Starpoints then so be it—they’re very valuable but the value prop of Chase UR is flexibility to transfer to a variety of partners vs just SPGiott
