Marriott Bonvoy Bevy American Express
NerdWallet rating 

For a limited time, the new cardholder bonus on some of Marriott’s most premium credit cards, the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express® Card and Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card, are getting much bigger.

New cardholders who apply for either card between Feb. 29 and May 1, 2024, can earn the following welcome offers:

  • Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express® Card: Earn 155,000 Marriott Bonvoy points after spending $5,000 in eligible purchases on the card within the first six months of card membership. Terms apply.

  • Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card: Earn 185,000 Marriott Bonvoy points after spending $6,000 in eligible purchases on the card within the first six months of card membership. Terms apply.

Both limited-time welcome offers are higher by at least 70,000 Marriott Bonvoy points compared to the standard offers.

Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card
NerdWallet rating 

NerdWallet values Marriott points at 0.8 cent each. This is a baseline value, drawn from real-world data, not a maximized value. In other words, you should aim for award redemptions that offer 0.8 cent or more in value from your Marriott points.

Given that valuation, the limited-time welcome offers on the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express® Card and Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card cards could be worth upward of $1,000 in hotel stays.
