Use Chase Sapphire Reserve or Marriott Rewards for weekly hotels in NYC? What’s the biggest bang for my buck?

I did some quick math and I believe you pretty much get the same rewards dollar amount using the reserve or Marriott. I guess only difference is that the Reserve would have more flexibility when using your rewards. Am I correct here?

MR if you’re chasing lifetime status

How would lifetime status help? I have the mr card and get bonus days but I use chase for the benefits

If you use CSR to pay, you won’t get the extra bonus points to your account. Just saying if you’re chasing life time status while getting most bang for your buck MR is the way to go. If you transfer points from CSR, they won’t count towards your lifetime points total

Isn't lifetime just nights stayed?

Points no longer contribute to lifetime status after this year. I think the valuation was 2.5 for CSR points and 0.9 for Marriott points on TPG, so it’s really just math from there

Hi Folks, I'm currently in search of a mentor. I'm a 28y/o MSc grad and starting a Junior Funding Consultant role (writing grant applications for startups) as I'm tired of holding out for an entry level role in ESG/Sustainability - I keep getting rejections despite completing a very wide ranging internship at a renewable energy company. Last year I received an offer at Deloitte Belgium but due to Brexit & VISA delays, we couldn't continue. Now I'm unsure of my career progression & need guidance.

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.
