For EXECUTIVE: the 10,000 EQM bonus "costs" $40,000 [if you spend that much in 3 months...not good for misers] [PS: Over in the 'mileage run" section RTs from NYC to some Asian cities are showing around $750 with 15,000 (or so RT miles), gets you 15,000 EQMS.
Slight correction. Prestige gives you 50,000 TYP's not miles. I myself prefer the Prestige to any other product on the market. And regarding the Executive, it is $40,000 of spend over a year, not 3 months to get the 10,000 EQM's. It was attractive when it offered 75,000 miles and applaud those that jumped on when it was 100,000 miles offered.

International travel - when I cant stay in a Marriott property: with AMEX I get elite treatment in regional properties. Cant say thats been the case with any other card.
I'll take the 4th night free offer from Prestige over any elite treatment from Amex. Vegas is a good example where you can make Fri or Sat night your 4th night and save a ton of money.

BINGO.
This is the reason I keep the card as well.
SDFC or Standby, the AC is the best place to do it, with a smile of course :-::-:
