The main comparison point should be the base points.

A base of exactly 5000 for the first stay leads me to believe it’s a promo.

Looks like they added a 2500 bonus of some sort

I was titanium on both stays

Different rates most likely. Points earned is based on spend

they were the same rate, maybe 10$ difference. Would it impact the points as much as double the difference?

Hi newby here. I am international and only been in the US for a couple years so I wanted to ask a few questions about the chase saphire. What is the best way to apply for it to get the best deal? Any additional benefits beyond the 100k points? Is it ok to apply without an account in chase? How long does it takes to receive? What is the limit of the card? I am planning to buy something that is like 4,200 so I want to ask for the card but want to make sure I will be able to pay that much at once
