While I agree that converting Chase UR to Marriott is a bad value, this I must strongly disagree with. CSP is probably the single best all around points earning card out there, with great bonus categories, outstanding insurance benefits, and several excellent transfer partners (including SQ, UA, BA, KE, and Hyatt). Just don't transfer your UR points to Marriott.
In fact, for Marriott stays, the CSP gives essentially the same return as the Chase Marriott, at around 4.5%.
