Kind of a random thought I’ve had.
Any thoughts on using the Rakuten Visa to book domestic Marriott stays (I believe it has a FTF) through the Rakuten portal?
This would earn between 4.5x - 6x MR (depending on what the cash back bonus is for Bonvoy on Rakuten). Obviously it’s comparable to another cash back portal + the CSR but this can be done through a card that has no annual fee. Also, I personally value MR > UR.
