I just got the Marriott card this year and use it for only Marriott hotel purchases. You're basically going through all that trouble for the equivalent of 1 free night's stay. To me, the cancelling and reopening process isn't worth the time. I'll keep the card. I'll get another free night certificate on each yearly anniversary anyway.

By the way, everything else goes on my Schwab 2% card.
