The Marriott Boundless card, with its $95 annual fee, is the more premium option. It offers cardholders the following benefits:

Up to 17x points per $1 spent on Marriott stays
New benefit —- 3x points per $1 on the first $6,000 spent in combined purchases each year on grocery stores, gas stations, and dining, then 2x thereafter
2x points per $1 spent on all other purchases
Automatic Marriott Bonvoy Silver Elite status (includes 10% bonus points and late checkout if available)
15 Elite Night Credits to give you a boost towards higher levels of elite status
New benefit —- 1 Elite Night Credit towards elite status for every $5,000 you spend
1 Free Night Certificate (redeemable at any Marriott hotel that costs up to 35,000 points) after your account anniversary
No foreign transaction fees

Meanwhile, the entry-level Marriott Bold card does not charge an annual fee. It comes with the following perks:

Up to 14x points per $1 spent on Marriott stays
2x points per $1 spent on all other travel; 1x on all other purchases
15 Elite Night credits, earning you Silver Elite status
No foreign transaction fees

Which Card Is Best for You?

Aside from the welcome bonuses, how should you determine which card is right for you?

In our view, the Marriott Boundless card is a much better option for most travelers. It not only helps you earn points faster, but it’s also very easy to offset its $95 annual fee thanks to the inclusion of the free night certificate since hotels costing up to 35,000 points can often cost $200 to $300 per night.

However, if you’re just looking for an easy way to earn some more Marriott Bonvoy points on your stays and on daily purchases, and you aren’t interested in paying an annual fee, then the Marriott Bold card is a good option.

Final Thoughts

While we’ve seen better welcome offers on these cards in the past, these current offers are nothing to sneeze at if you’re in the market for a new Marriott Bonvoy card. Ultimately, it simply comes down to selecting which card option is best for you. If either card seems like a good fit for you, you should consider pulling the trigger before the increased welcome offers end at 6 p.m. EST on April 6, 2022.
