Is It Worth It?

Now could be a good time to add one of these cards to your wallet — especially considering the great welcome bonus offers matching the best we have seen for both the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant card and Marriott Bonvoy Bevy card.

Meanwhile, the Marriott Boundless card has a reasonable fee, an annual free night benefit, and a solid welcome bonus offer of free night certificates for a up to $1,750 value. Both this offer and the offer on the Marriott Bold card are among the better offers we’ve seen in the history of these cards.

Hot Tip:

Final Thoughts

Marriott has increased the welcome offers on the Marriott Boundless card and Marriott Bold card — raising the number of free night certificates you can earn after meeting the minimum spending requirement.

These enticing offers join other valuable welcome offers across the range of Marriott Bonvoy credit cards. If you’ve considered adding a Marriott card to your wallet, this might be the best time to review the full lineup. If you’re interested in these offers, take advantage of them before they end. We’re not sure what the welcome offers will be after that date — nor do we know the end date for some of these offers. However, they don’t tend to stick around for long.

Before applying, make sure you can meet the minimum spending requirements on your credit card to maximize the value you’d receive.
