Hi fellow fish need some advice.

I'm planning a wedding and wondering if I should apply for new credit cards to maximize on points. If so, wondering what your recommendations are and or if there are new cards out there I haven't heard of yet. For context I probably have another 20k+ in expenses to pay still and my current cards are:

CSP
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
Citi double cash
Random card (used to be uber)

I can get to next tier (Titanium) Marriott Status using my annual choice award or with a credit card - question being, what historically has been the best offer on the Bold or Boundless cards and how does the current offer compare?

Have a big upcoming international trip and trying to choose between the Marriott convoy boundless credit card or the chase sapphire preferred card to not have foreign transaction fees. Anyone have any experience with either and can help tip the scales one way or another?

Does anyone ever redeem Marriott points for gift cards? Is it worth it?

Anyone applying for Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card lately? I saw that they are offering 100k points again, but NO more 15 elite nights?

My RB situation is ugly. Recommendations on who I should start?

Need 2; 0.5 ppr

-Lynn Bowden vs NE

I can also add Salvon Ahmed (vs NE), Sony Michel (@ MIA), Gus Edwards (vs JAX), Tony Pollard (vs SF), Latavius Murray (vs KC), James White (@ MIA), DeAndre Washington (vs NE), or Giovani Bernard (vs PIT).

My WR/flex is Ridley, Woods, Hilton, Amari Cooper

Best Marriott/SPG property for a couple’s stay in Amsterdam? End of December - want to be reasonably close to city center but not break the points bank (<~50k a night ideally )

Need 6 Marriott nights to titanium (spend doesn’t matter). 1 - would any hotel manager cut you a deal? (Ie if 6 nights is 60k; let me pay 30k and get the nights and I won’t use the room?); 2 - where are cheapest Marriott hotels? I found 10k per night in burbs of Chicago? 3 - would any cheap Marriott let me run this scam remotely? (Ie call Abilene Texas, check me in without my showing up)

Has anyone ever gone out to the W Hotel on Capitol Hill? Is it like a bar/club? Do you recommend it?
