Got a random email from a supposed Amazon recruiter for a SDE position (which is not at all a fit). The email is amazon.com domain and there are no red flags in the body but it doesn't feel like an Amazon recruiter due to the tacky signature, etc. Has anyone seen this kind of cold-calling from FAANG recruiter?

If you think a Westin was nice.... wait until you stay at a st. Regis. Literally the only reason I cash in points.
Get the Amex for the points and then get the Marriott card later on when they merge programs.
In Cayman, the Marriott is beautiful as well. Just got back on Saturday. With the merger complete you'll have options.
2k SPG points is like ~60 dollars max. I think you should consider more at which chain you would rather / are more likely to stay in the future.
If you regularly stay at Marriott or SPG properties, get the SPG Amex. Double Star Points at Marriott means 6 Marriott points if you transfer, so bears the 5/dollar with their chase card.
Starwood is being completely merged into Marriott in 2018, so you might be better off getting the Chase Marriott Visa instead.
I was thinking about getting the Marriott card since the bonus is 80k (~27k when converted to Starwood) vs the Starwood amex bonus only being 25k.
Westin GCM is great and only 12k points now. Flights pretty cheap. Worthwhile flex trip!
