Through Nov. 3, 2021, the entire Marriott Bonvoy suite of credit cards will get a value boost for new cardholders. The Chase-issued Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card and Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card, along with the American Express-issued Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card and Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card, are increasing their welcome bonuses to their highest levels to date.

The Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card

Previously, the card’s bonus was phrased this way: “Earn 3 Free Nights (each night valued up to 50,000 points) after spending $3,000 on purchases in your first 3 months from account opening + 10X total points per $1 spent on up to $2,500 in combined purchases at gas stations, restaurants, and grocery stores within 6 months from account opening with the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless™ Credit Card.”

What’s staying the same

The annual fee remains $95. You’ll also earn:

  • Up to 17 total points for every $1 spent at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels. That’s a combination of 6 points per $1 spent with the card; up to 10 points per $1 for being a Marriott Bonvoy member; and 1 point per $1 for having Silver Elite Status.

Free Night valued at 50,000 points. Certain hotels have resort fees. Previously, the card offered 30,000 points after you spend $1,000 in the first 3 months.

What’s staying the same

The annual fee is still $0. You’ll earn these ongoing rewards:

  • Up to 14 points per $1 spent at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels. That’s a combination of 3 points per $1 spent with the card; up to 10 points per $1 for being a Marriott Bonvoy member; and 1 point per $1 for having Silver Elite Status.

  • 2 points per $1 on other travel purchases.

  • 1 point per $1 on everything else.
