Wondering the same thing. I already have a BW card and was hoping to keep it open while applying for a new one, especially given that the no annual fee would help me strengthen my average age of accounts in the long term.

250k Marriott points = 132k United miles or 120k AA/Aeroplan/Alaska miles + 5 nights in a category 6 hotel
So, assuming you can get to 250k (which might be a tall order but spouses can combine their points for a redemption), each card is 24-26k miles.

FYI - In case anyone wanted to pool points with their spouse for a huge redemption, Marriott is now capping annual transfers at 50K per person.

I got the BMO World Elite card a year ago when they had a Free First Year offer. One of the perks is four Priority Pass visits per year. I didn't activate the Priority Pass membership until part way through the year, and it is supposedly good for a year, but I'm wondering if it will still be valid for a full year if I cancel the BMO card. Anyone have experience with this?

A limit of 50,000 points per year may be transferred into or out of a member?s account. Members who are transferring points in order to satisfy a specific award may exceed the 50,000 limit up to the amount needed to satisfy the reservation.

That's a relief, thanks for clarifying. I wonder what the point of the annual limit is then?
