Those who have been considering adding the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card to their wallet might want to strongly consider the card’s newest offer.
Here is everything you need to know.
New Welcome Bonus Offer for the Marriott Boundless Card
Earn 5 Free Night Awards after spending $5,000 on purchases in your first 3 months after opening a Marriott Boundless card. Each Free Night Award can be redeemed at a property that costs up to 50,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night, giving all 5 Free Night Awards a maximum value of 250,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.
Further, Marriott recently improved the flexibility of Free Night Award certificates by allowing you to top them off with up to 15,000 points, meaning these certificates can be used at properties that cost up to 65,000 points per night.
In addition to the extra points you’ll earn, and your annual free night certificate, the automatic Silver Elite status you receive as a cardholder gets you 10% bonus points on stays and priority late checkout. Plus, thanks to the 15 elite night credits you receive, you’ll only need to stay 10 nights at Marriott hotels each year to earn Gold Elite status.
Penha Longa Resort, part of The Ritz-Carlton brand, is a gorgeous property situated within a national park in the Portuguese countryside. The property incorporates a 14th-century monastery and boasts a 27-hole golf course, 7 restaurants and bars (2 of which have Michelin stars), an outdoor infinity pool, a full-service spa, luxurious rooms, and much more.
Now that Marriott has removed its award charts, award night rates can vary quite a bit more than they used to. That said, award nights at the property often range between 30,000 to 60,000 points per night depending on what time of year you would like to visit the property. This means that the welcome bonus offer from the Marriott Boundless card would get you 5 nights at this picturesque property, but might require a points co-pay on top if you plan to travel during high season.
While some might prefer the flexibility of a welcome bonus offer that offers points, those who prefer to use their Marriott Bonvoy points for stays at luxury hotels would likely come out much better with this new offer, as the purchasing power of the 5 free night certificates is equivalent to 250,000 Marriott Bonvoy points. If that sounds like you, then now is a great time to take advantage of this new offer.
