Exactly. With business expenses it's pretty easy to spent $100k a year on a credit card. Plus, we just spend too much in general. Luckily I don't spend $50k a month. I should say 2% cash back sounds like a substantially better deal though than the Marriott. I actually switched most of my spending to the Capital One mileage card this year that pays 2% (2 miles per dollar technically) in direct travel reimbursement which is as good as cash to me. Plus it paid a 100,000 mile bonus upon sign up which was good for $1,000 in straight up cash of travel. I have heard of some 5% cards out there through Schwab and Fidelity. Should look into those.
