It may be that i'm in a unique situation because I can get Canadian and U.S. Credit cards. But it seems that I can get 50 nights of credit each year just by paying $329/year. This may help some of you out. If somehow I'm mistaken, please let me know.

My Current Marriott Canada card (no longer available) - $79 and 10 nights credit.

Marriott Premier Canada (new) - $120 and 15 nights credit.

Marriott Premier US - $85 and 15 nights credit.

Marriott Signature US - $45 and 10 nights credit.

Total is $329 and 50 nights credit.

I made Platinum on nights the past 4 years, but this year I'll barely hit 20. So this is quite attractive to me. I have great credit history and it seems to me that the free breakfast alone based on 20 nights is worth between $300 and $600/year, not to mention the concierge lounge, and free alcohol outside N.A.

Any reasons why I don't want to do this? And ignore my anticipated 20 free nights. I know that i can use those to save $120 by NOT getting the Marriott Premier Canada card, thereby dropping the total spend to $209 in fees, but we may as well just talk in terms of the benefit @ $329 a year to keep things simple!!
