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 offer on the Marriott Bold card. Previously, the highest offer we’ve seen was 60,000 points, but that didn’t tack on a free night award for extra value. Additionally, the Marriott Bonvoy Business card has brought back its excellent 125,000-point offer.

Using the current welcome offers, you could book free nights at a wide selection of amazing Marriott properties. The numbers speak for themselves here.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve been considering a Marriott card, now is a good time to review all the offers across the card and see if a card might be a good addition to your wallet. If you’re eligible, they can provide some excellent travel redemptions.

Just be sure you’re able to meet the minimum spend requirements on your credit card before applying in order to maximize the value you’ll receive.
