The only way I'll ever look at Marriott is if they allow 1:1 MR transfers, and that's when I use the Everyday Preferred 30+ times per month.

Other than that, unless you're staying in a hotel 80+ nights a year (which I understand many people do) I think Hilton provides better dollar for dollar earnings both on credit cards and rewards nights

A $150 a night hotel shouldn't cost 40,000 or more per night.
