Is It Worth It?

Now could be a good time to add one of these cards to your wallet — especially considering the best-ever bonus on the Marriott Bold card. Previously, the best offer on this card offered 60,000 points but didn’t tack on a free night award for extra value.

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 any of these cards, now may be the time to take advantage of these new welcome offers. 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.
