New Marriott - Which card to use going forward?
I have both the SPG Amex and SPG Biz Amex. Now that you only get a maximum of 15 EQNights, which of the 5 “Marriott” cards is best?

Part2 - Are any of them better than the Chase Sapphire Reserve, considering I can transfer those to Marriott ?

Update on my strategy:

I got the new Marriott card for the signup bonus. Will not use it after that post, but will leave open for the annual certificate.
Have Amex SPG, will leave open for annual cert.
Have Amex Biz SPG, will leave open for annual cert.
Apply for luxury SPG Amex on 8/23 before new restrictions kick in, get sign up bonus, leave open for annual cert.

In 2019 when Amex redoes the card for the new program, I will see what I can churn or another sign up bonus.

Overall I will still keep bonused spend (travel, restaurants) on the CSR.
As for everyday spend goes, I’m considering opening an Amex Everyday preferred card, but to be honest don’t have this completely ironed out. I currently use the SPG Amex, but as of last week that no longer makes sense.
