The Marriott Flexible Member Rate all-in is $4,731.
Booking via The Edit at $4,974 minus the $250 statement credit equals $4,724 ($7 cheaper than booking direct). It also includes breakfast for two each day, a $100 resort credit, WiFi, and the possibility of early check-in and late check-out. Additionally, you earn 8× Ultimate Rewards points on the $4,724 spend (37,792 UR points), worth a minimum of $377 but at least $754 for anyone who knows how to redeem them effectively.
Even if you no longer have the Edit credit available, the extra $243 it costs to book through Chase is well worth it for those without at least Platinum status, because you still get breakfast for two daily over 11 days plus the $100 resort credit. You would also earn 8× UR points on the full $4,974 (39,792 UR points), worth a minimum of $397 but at least $794 for those who know how to redeem them effectively.
One other fun fact: in the time it took me to write this, my Marriott session timed out. When I logged back in, the Member Flexible Rate had risen to $4,807, while The Edit price stayed the same.
Except pvrMM3 is LTT...
$4724*8 UR = 37,792 UR
$4731*23.5 MR (17.5 Titanium + 6 CC) = 111,178 MR
Which is maybe a wash unless you get lucky and the hotel credits points to you (it says Marriott Eligible but there are DP of 0 EQN/points on Edit bookings)
