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 Boundless card and Marriott Bold card.

The Marriott Boundless card previously offered 3 Free Night Awards plus 50,000 bonus points, but this new offer ups the ante with 5 Free Night Awards (valued up to 50,000 points each) — that’s a potential value of up to 250,000 points, making it the best offer we’ve ever seen on this card.

Meanwhile, the no-annual-fee Marriott Bold card has doubled its usual 30,000-point offer to 60,000 bonus points and added 1 Free Night Award worth up to 50,000 points, making this the most valuable welcome bonus ever offered.

Final Thoughts

The incredible 5 Free Night Award offer is back on the Marriott Boundless card — and it’s one of the most rewarding welcome bonus offers we’ve ever seen on a Marriott card. If you’ve considered adding a Marriott card to your wallet, this might be the best time to review the full lineup.

With elevated offers on both the Marriott Boundless card and Marriott Bold card, there’s serious value to be had — especially if you’re eligible and have Marriott stays planned.
