It’s good to have another option to AMEX to be able to transfer from.
SQ KF has Chase, Capital One and Citi as transfer partners at 1:1, and Marriott was, as stated, already a transfer partner.

SQ is pretty generous with business award availability - we have no trouble burning our KF miles.
Yeah, I have some around from an aborted Australia trip and I am probably going to feed some more points in from Capital One/AMEX and come home from Asia in J. A nonstop to my home airport from SE Asia is pretty appealing.
