Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card

The Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card is Chase’s entry-level card for Bonvoy enthusiasts.

Annual fee: $0

Welcome offer: Earn 30,000 Marriott Bonvoy points after spending $1,000 on purchases within the first three months from account opening.

Marriott Bonvoy Bold card — THE POINTS GUY

Is it worth it?

According to TPG’s March 2025 valuations, the 30,000 Marriott Bonvoy points are worth $210. This is the standard welcome offer we’ve seen on this card, so you may want to wait to apply when the welcome offer is higher.

You’ll earn 3 points per dollar at Marriott properties, 2 points per dollar at grocery stores and on ride-hailing, select food delivery, select streaming, internet, cable and phone services, and 1 point per dollar everywhere else.

The card offers automatic Bonvoy Silver Elite status and five annual elite night credits. It also has no foreign transaction fees.

Additionally, the Bold now features Chase’s Pay Yourself Back benefit. Cardholders can redeem points to cover qualifying travel purchases made directly with airlines and Marriott hotels, up to a limit of $750 per year.

They can redeem 12,500 points for $100 in purchases, yielding a per-point value of 0.8 cents. This is just slightly above our March 2025 valuation of Bonvoy points at 0.70 cents each, which makes this a bad redemption option.

This is a solid set of perks for a card with no annual fee. However, frequent Marriott guests may do better with a card that offers more perks during each stay.

Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card

The Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card is one of Chase’s two mid-tier Bonvoy cards.

Annual fee: $95

Welcome offer: Earn three free nights valued at up to 150,000 points (up to 50,000 per night) after spending $3,000 on purchases within the first three months from account opening. Resort fees and terms apply.

Marriott Bonvoy Boundless — THE POINTS GUY

Is it worth it?

TPG’s March 2025 valuations peg this welcome offer at up to $1,050. Based on this card’s offer history, this is the standard welcome offer, so it may be best to hold off on applying for now.

If you’re a frequent traveler loyal to Marriott, this is a great card to add to your wallet without a high price tag. With the Boundless, automatic Bonvoy Silver status and 15 elite qualifying nights every year. You’ll also earn one credit toward the next level of elite status for every $5,000 spent, and you can reach Gold Elite status by spending $35,000 on the card in a calendar year.

Perhaps the most valuable perk is the annual free night award (worth up to 35,000 points) at each account anniversary — though Marriott’s lack of award charts could hinder your ability to use this reward.

Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful Credit Card

The Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful Credit Card is one of Chase’s two mid-tier Bonvoy cards.

Annual fee: $250

Welcome offer: Earn 85,000 Marriott Bonvoy points after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.

Marriott Bonovy Bountiful card — THE POINTS GUY

Is it worth it?

TPG March 2025 valuations peg 85,000 Marriott Bonvoy points at $595.

Whereas American Express issues the Bevy, this card comes from Chase. The two cards have mostly the same benefits, meaning the perks that come with this card struggle to justify its $250 annual fee. However, the welcome bonus may be of interest to you. This is the standard welcome offer we usually see on this card.

Marriott Bonvoy Bevy American Express Card

The Marriott Bonvoy Bevy American Express Card is Bonvoy’s mid-tier card from American Express.

Annual fee: $250

Welcome offer: Earn 155,000 Marriott Bonvoy points after spending $5,000 on eligible purchases on your card within the first six months of card membership. Offer ends May 14.

Is it worth it?

TPG’s March 2025 valuations peg 155,000 Marriott Bonvoy points at $1,085. This is the second-highest welcome offer in the card’s history.

This card also offers mid-tier perks, including complimentary Gold Elite status, a solid earning rate at Marriott properties and elite night credits. However, it lacks several benefits that you might expect from a mid-tier card.

For example, you must spend $15,000 in a calendar year to earn a free night (worth up to 50,000 points; certain hotels have resort fees). Other Marriott cards with lower annual fees include a similar perk with no spending requirement. Enrollment is required for select benefits.

Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card

The Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card is Marriott’s top-tier credit card.

Annual fee: $650

Welcome offer: Earn 185,000 Marriott Bonvoy points after spending $6,000 on eligible purchases on your card within the first six months of card membership. Offer ends May 14.

Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant — THE POINTS GUY

Is it worth it?

According to TPG’s March 2025 valuations, 95,000 Bonvoy points are worth $1,295. This is the second-highest welcome offer we’ve seen in the card’s history.

The card also has valuable perks, such as automatic Bonvoy Platinum Elite status, an annual free night award (worth up to 85,000 points; certain hotels have resort fees) after card renewal month, up to $300 (up to $25 per month) in annual statement credits for eligible purchases at restaurants worldwide, Priority Pass lounge access and 25 elite qualifying night credits per year. Enrollment is required for select benefits.

Remember that Marriott has dynamic pricing, so you may need to work harder to find a property to use free nights. However, you can top up Marriott certificates using up to 15,000 points, meaning that you could use your free night award topped up with bonus points to book a night costing up to 100,000 points.

Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card

The Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card is Marriott’s only business card currently available to new applicants.

Annual fee: $125

Welcome offer: Earn three free night awards after using the card to make $6,000 in eligible purchases within the first six months of card membership. Each free night award has a redemption level of up to 50,000 Marriott Bonvoy points at hotels participating in Marriott Bonvoy. Resort fees and terms apply.

Marriott Bonvoy Business card — THE POINTS GUY

Is it worth it?

This welcome offer is worth up to $1,050, according to our March 2025 valuations; although it’s not the best offer in this card’s history, it’s worth considering.

With this card, you’ll get automatic Gold Elite status with Marriott Bonvoy and up to a 7% discount on eligible bookings made directly with Marriott through an eligible channel at participating properties under the Amex Business Card Rate and earn 4 points per dollar spent at restaurants worldwide.

The card also comes with 15 elite night credits annually (which can be stacked with a Marriott Bonvoy consumer card) and a free night award annually after your card renewal month (worth up to 35,000 points). In addition, you can earn a second free night (also worth up to 35,000 points) after $60,000 of purchases on your card in a calendar year.

Marriott’s shift to dynamic pricing may make it harder to use these rewards. Still, you should be able to find a participating property that can cover your annual fee (and then some), as our data indicates that there’s still a lot of value in the program.

Can you apply for more than one Marriott card offer?

If multiple Marriott card offers intrigue you, you can indeed have more than one open Marriott card — some TPG staffers have two or three. It can make sense to leverage the annual anniversary award nights and to stack the 5-25 elite nights awarded by carrying both a personal and small-business Marriott card.

However, with six total Marriott cards available for new applicants, there are several restrictions on who can earn the welcome offers across the available cards — especially since cards are issued by both Amex and Chase.

Note that these restrictions are all in addition to Chase’s 5/24 rule (which applies to new applicants for the Bold, Boundless and Bountiful cards) and Amex’s one-bonus-per-lifetime rule (which applies to the Bevy, Brilliant and Business cards).

Make sure you’re eligible for these offers before applying.

Bottom line

Marriott cards hold slots in our top hotel credit cards list, thanks to the value they provide year after year. Add in some of the current bonuses, and you have a compelling reason to consider getting a Marriott card now.
