I've kept my Chase Marriott since Aug 2012. I am willing to keep cards that provide an annual renewal perk (also a Capital One Aspire Travel World cardholder since it came out in 2010), even if new customers come out ahead. I've had decent luck with the Category 5 night in the past, although not so sure this year...
