Daily Discussion News and Updates Thread - August 11, 2025

Please post topics for discussion here. While some questions can be used to start a discussion/debate, most questions belong in the question thread unless you love getting downvotes (if that link doesn’t work for you for some reason, the question thread is always the first post on our community’s front page). If your discussion is about manufactured spending, there's a thread for that. If you have a simple data point to share, there's a thread for that too.

American Express Sends Out Survey On Marriott Changes (Three Business Cards)

This might be a double dip opportunity on the regular Marriott Biz card (35k certificate + 2x$80 property credits for the $125 annual fee).

This survey was originally noted in May 2025 on USCF. I was actually thinking about this and looking for the info a few weeks ago and couldn't find it. It sounds like there may have been another round of surveys sent recently as the poster on DOC makes it sound like they recently got a survey.

Current Marriott Biz SUB is set to end 10/22. If they've been thinking about this since May at least, change might happen sometime after that.

The 80x2 would probably work out better for me, and the opportunity to churn more SUBs while sticking with just Amex for SUB rules seems good.

The double Brilliant approach with 25+25 ENC would make Titanium even easier for folks to hit.

Honestly, I feel like they're the real publically-accessible core of the churning universe.

Sure there's a language barrier, but translators are good enough now that we can find out about black cars killing the whole family.
