I will continue to stay at Marriotts when it fits the need, however, I will be cancelling my Marriott credit card. The annual fee is no longer worth the annual certificate and my travel has declined or is varied enough that he bonus points are not worth the CC. I will also probably stay else when the megabonus is a certificate. I can't use them much in Boston now which is where we want to get away for a weekend where we go. Still a couple options on 128 but nothing "downtown" (Courtyard in Brookline used to be a good cat 5 option).

For work right now, staying at carlson hotels because of the triple bonus points. I have always favored bonus points over the annual certs anyway so I can save them for a vacation for a week somewhere.

Cheers.
