Sure you pay $450 AF for the Chase Sapphire Reserve Credit Card, but you get $600 travel refund during the first year (12 months): http://frequentmiler.boardingarea.co...omplete-guide/

I do have the Marriott card but it's not the best option to pay at Marriott properties. The Marriott Rewards card offers 5X POINTS for every $1 spent at over 5,700 participating Marriott Rewards and SPG properties worldwide: https://creditcards.chase.com/a1/mar...ID=92801292386

With the SPG card, however, you earn 2X points for every $1 spent at any Marriott property. Once you earn those SPG points you can always convert them into Marrott points at a 1:3 ratio. So the $1 spend at Marriott will yield 6 Marriott points which is the better deal.
