The best credit card for Marriott
At Marriott, Chase Sapphire Reserve earns the most: $8.00 per $100.
Marriott rings up as hotels.
The short version
- Use: Chase Sapphire Reserve, if you carry it.
- Why Marriott has its own page: at least one card pays a bonus that names this store, which a ranking of the whole category cannot show.

Before you pay
A shopping portal and a card-linked offer can both pay on top of whichever card you use here — and the portal has to be started before you shop. How the three stack, and in what order.
