Marriott and Delta both have dining programs. Can't use the same card for both. Has anyone done an analysis of which yields a higher return?

Did some quick research. Looks like Marriott offers 6 points per dollar spent and Delta offers 3-5 miles per dollar spent (you get 5 after having 12 qualifying dines).

Marriott transfers points to Delta at a rate of 3:1 - meaning the 6 points per dollar are worth 2 miles.

So this is a no brainer IMO. Delta is worth more, considerably more if you use this a lot and get to that 12 dine tier.

Which points / miles are worth the most would probably answer your question. My thought would be if I was earning at a 1:1, Delta miles are worth more. Only case I would do Marriott if I was getting more points per $1 or I had an enormous stock pile of delta miles.

I got a decent deal on a small 1 bed in a luxury building (hell’s kitc). Should I do a 12 month lease or 24m?

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.
