American Express is offering new welcome offers for its lineup of Marriott co-branded credit cards.

This includes the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express® Card, Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card, and Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card.

Here’s a look at the increased welcome offers on each card and details of the benefits of each to help you decide which card is the best fit for you.

Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Card Welcome Bonus Offer

Current Welcome Offer: Earn 185,000 points after spending $6,000 within the first 6 months.

The Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant card doesn’t come cheap — it has an annual fee of $650 (rates & fees). But with that, you’ll receive the following perks:

  • 6x points when using your Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant card at over 7,000 participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels
  • 3x points on flights booked directly with airlines and restaurants worldwide
  • 2x points on all other purchases
  • Complimentary Marriott Bonvoy Platinum Elite status
  • Annual Free Night Award redeemable at hotels costing up to 85,000 points per night
  • 25 Elite Night Credits each year
  • Complimentary Priority Pass lounge access, upon enrollment
  • Up to $300 dining credit each calendar year

We value this welcome offer at $1,295, according to our valuation of Marriott Bonvoy points.

Marriott Bonvoy Bevy Card Welcome Bonus Offer

Current Welcome Offer: Earn 155,000 points after spending $5,000 within the first 6 months.

The Marriott Bonvoy Bevy card comes with a $250 annual fee (rates & fees). Cardholders receive perks including:

  • 6x points on Marriott stays
  • 4x points at restaurants worldwide and U.S. supermarkets (on up to $15,000 in combined purchases per calendar year, then 2x points)
  • 2x points on all other purchases
  • 1 Free Night Award (up to 50,000 points) when you spend $15,000 on the card in a year
  • Complimentary Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status
  • 15 Elite Night Credits per year
  • 1,000 bonus points per paid stay

We value this welcome offer at $1,085.

Marriott Bonvoy Business Card Welcome Bonus Offer

Current Welcome Offer: Earn 3 Free Night Awards after spending $6,000 on purchases within the first 6 months of Card Membership (each valued up to 50,000 points).

The Marriott Bonvoy Business card comes with extra benefits, too:

  • 6x points on Marriott stays
  • 4x points for purchases made at restaurants worldwide, at U.S. gas stations, on wireless telephone services purchased directly from U.S. service providers, and on U.S. purchases for shipping
  • 2x points for all other purchases
  • Complimentary Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status
  • 15 Elite Night Credits
  • Receive a 7% discount on eligible bookings as a benefit of being both a Marriott Bonvoy® member & a Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card Member when you book directly with Marriott through an eligible channel for a participating property under the Amex Business Card Rate.
  • Annual Free Night Award redeemable at hotels costing up to 35,000 points per night, plus an additional Free Night Award after spending $60,000 in a calendar year
  • No foreign transaction fees (rates & fees)
  • $125 annual fee (rates & fees)

We value this welcome offer at $1,050, though you may receive more or less value depending on the free night redemption.

Hot Tip:

Even if you hold multiple Marriott personal cards, you’ll only receive 15 Elite Night Credits each year — the credits don’t stack — unless you hold 1 personal Marriott card and 1 business Marriott card.

Is It Worth It?

Now could be a good time to add one of these cards to your wallet with some of the highest welcome offers we’ve seen. You could book free nights at a wide selection of amazing Marriott properties — the numbers speak for themselves here.
