Takes only 50 nights to hit Platinum at SPG(Marriott is 75?), should I just stick with SPG to status match with Marriott? Given that I have no status now.

Yes, that's my strategy. Power through the first few months and get that status

Yeah do the SPG platinum challenge. 18 nights to platinum

Yup

Also spg has the platinum challenge, it's like 20 nights in 3 months or something...call and sign up

If you get the Marriott card you get 15 nights to start (spg gives 5) plus you get an extra night for every $3k in spend, so it's not as bad as it seems

Just keep in mind that 50,000 Marriott points will get you a stay at a Ritz Carlton but when you convert those to SPG points you're only at 15,000 which may get you in at a W or a Westin. In my opinion Ritz > W or Westin. Go with Marriott.

If you need to ask, go to Marriott.
