Limited time signup bonuses:

Comparison to previous signup bonus:

  • The previous signup bonus on the Boundless card was 75K points for spending $3,000 in 3 months.
  • The previous signup bonus on the Bold card was 30K points for spending $1,000 in 3 months.

Previous limited time offers for these cards required additional spending to get the signup bonus, such as 100K points for spending $5,000 on the Boundless card, but the spend threshold hasn’t been changed with this limited time offer!

Annual fee:

  • The Boundless card has a $95 annual fee, though the signup bonus and annual anniversary nights are worth well more than that.
  • The Bold card has no annual fee.

Other Marriott Limited Time Bonus Offers:

Welcome bonus terms:

You won’t get the welcome bonus on this card if:

  1. You have an active Chase Marriott consumer Boundless, Bold, or Premier card.
  2. You got a bonus on a Chase Marriott consumer card in the past 24 months.
  3. You have or had an active Starwood AMEX/Marriott Bonvoy AMEX Consumer card in the past 30 days.
  4. You were approved for a Starwood Luxury AMEX/Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant AMEX card or the Starwood Business/Marriott Bonvoy Business AMEX in the past 90 days
  5. You received a signup bonus for a Starwood Luxury/Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant AMEX or the Starwood Business/Marriott Bonvoy Business AMEX card in the past 24 months.

5/24:

All Chase cards appear to be subject to 5/24 restrictions, meaning that you are not likely to be approved if you have been approved for 5 or more consumer credit cards in the past 24 months. Note that the Chase system automatically counts cards like authorized user cards and store cards as cards that count towards 5/24, but if you explain to Chase that those cards are merely authorized user cards or store cards they can manually approve you for a new card.

You can check your credit report for free at the federally authorized annualcreditreport.com to check how many accounts are shows as being open in the past 24 months.

Card earnings:

Boundless:

  • 2 points per dollar everywhere.
  • 6 Marriott points per dollar at Marriott hotels.
  • There are no foreign transaction fees.

Bold:

  • 1 point per dollar everywhere.
  • 2 points per dollar on all travel purchases.
  • 3 Marriott points per dollar at Marriott hotels.
  • There are no foreign transaction fees.

Card protections:

  • Purchase protection covers items purchased up to $500 against theft or damage for 120 days.
  • Extended warranty protection adds an additional year on the manufacturer’s warranty.
  • Car rental CDW insurance covers rentals in the US on a secondary basis and rentals outside of the US on a primary basis.
  • Trip delay reimbursement covers $500/passenger for expenses due to delays of 12+ hours.
  • Lost luggage reimbursement covers luggage lost or damaged, up to $3,000/passenger.

Spend threshold:

You’ll need to spend $1,000 or $3,000 within 3 months.

You can pay your federal taxes for a 1.96% fee. If you overpay your taxes you can request a refund or apply it to your next year’s taxes.

My local natural gas company allows me to prepay up to $1,000 on a credit card for a $1.65 flat fee. That’s a great way to earn miles and help meet a spend threshold. My electricity supplier allows me to pay with a credit card for free as long as I am enrolled in autopay.

Airline transfer bonus:

You can transfer increments of 60K Marriott points into 25K airline miles or 27.5K miles with United.

Additionally, airlines often have their own bonuses for hotel point transfers.

Marriott has dozens of valuable airline transfer partners, such as Aegean, Alaska, American, JAL, Qantas, and dozens more!

Miles from these airlines can be very valuable and hard to get from other sources. For example JAL miles allow you to book awards on Emirates, AA, and BA with discounted or no fuel surcharges as well as mileage bargains. Alaska miles opens up bargains on airlines like Cathay Pacific and Qantas with no fuel surcharges and they allow 2 free stopovers on awards.

Premium internet access:

Boundless cardholders get free premium in-room internet at Marriott hotels.

Elite status:

Both cards offer Silver Elite status, which gives 10% bonus points, late checkout, and more.

If you spend $35K/year on the Boundless card you will earn Gold elite status, which gives 25% bonus points, late checkout, room upgrades, a points amenity on paid and award stays, and more.

Both cards also offer 15 elite night credits for having the card.

You can get 15 elite night credits for having a Marriott consumer card and 15 elite night credits for having a Marriott business card. You can combine those nights with promotional nights to reach higher elite tiers.

You can’t get 2 sets of 15 elite night credits if you only have consumer or only have business cards.

Card Convertibility:

You can convert your Chase Marriott cards between the Marriott Boundless, Marriott Bold, and JPMorgan Ritz-Carlton card.

Officially you can’t convert until you have had your card for 12 months, but some reps will allow conversions at any time.

Anniversary night:

Boundless cardholders will receive a free night upon every card anniversary valid at hotels that cost up to 35K points. Anniversary nights can be worth several times the annual fee on this card! Anniversary nights expire 12 months after they post to your account.

You can view all Marriott hotels with their point requirements here.

This is what the current Marriott award chart looks like. Anniversary nights from the Boundless card can be used at category 1-4 hotels on all dates and on category 5 hotels on off-peak or standard dates. Anniversary nights from the Ritz card can be used at category 1-5 hotels on all dates, on category 6 hotels on off-peak or standard dates, and on category 7 hotels on off-peak dates.

Can I transfer Marriot points to someone else in my household or their Turkish Airlines account?

Abe

Why does chase have a no annual fee version of the Marriott cards and amex doesn’t?

Yankel

How does it compare to amex bonvoy cards?

Uneducated

+1 Comparison chart something like United post

AJ

I don’t see how the anniversary nights are anywhere close to being worth more than the $95 AF. I’ve got 5 35,000 certificates through Marriott and Amex that are basically worthless because at peak awards season, category 5 hotels require 40,000 or more. 2 certificates expire 8/1 (3 in September and November) so with summer the peak travel season I can’t find anywhere nice that will accept them. What a waste! Very frustrating. I think I’m gonna ditch most of my cards.

Martin

If you call Marriott Bonvoy, do you know if they can tell you whether you’re qualified for the sign up bonus?
