OK, here's the setup ... this year spent (OPM) about 17 grand on hotels (50% Marriott, 50% other), about 9 grand on airfares (Alaska/ Horizon) and about 4.5 grand on meals. Thinking about switching off the corporate Amex to a branded Visa for some if not all.

So, from your experience, which is likely to give me the best bang (in terms of what I can spend on the extra points) for the buck - the Alaska Visa or Marriott?
