That's a great idea!
The Chase Sapphire Preferred will let you transfer points to Marriott at a 1:1 ratio, but will also also give you double points on dining and travel which you wouldn't get with the Marriott credit card.
That plus the ability to transfer to select airlines (United, BA, & Korean) and hotels (Hyatt, Marriott, Priority Club) make the Chase Sapphire Preferred a better card than the Marriott for non-AMEX charges (assuming those charges were non-Marriott charges).
