If I look at next week, the 13th to the 19th of November $863 per night with Marriott directly, through Chase it's $1,091 per night (for the base king room). If I use points, it's so much in favor of me using Bonvoy Points vs. Chase when you look at the value per point according to my app right now, Most say the best value of Bonvoy points is between 0.8 Cents and 1 cent per point and Chase CSR points now having a max value of 2 cents, I am looking 371,200 all in for a week in a Premier Guest Room with Terrace (and I will get upgraded from that with my status) in Bonvoy points vs. 361,806 in CSR points.... this is a rip off. If I cut the stay to 5 nights exactly the room takes less Bonvoy points than CSR points. Looking at the base rooms in points has very similar results.
The rates are only off by $23 for a two night stay at the W Rome next week. Unless you compare to non-refundable rate, or member rate (which is a $48 difference over 2 nights)
