Overview

If you’re new to travel rewards, the Marriott Bonvoy Bold Card is a solid, low-risk option that allows you to earn a decent number of points on everyday purchases. Some of this card's best perks are automatic Silver Elite Status, travel delay insurance, baggage insurance and purchase protections. (Partner offer)

Read the full review

Pros

  • 5 elite night every calendar year
  • Automatic Marriott Bonvoy Silver status
  • Baggage delay insurance
  • Lost luggage reimbursement
  • Trip delay reimbursement coverage

Cons

  • There are better Marriott cards if you want higher tier status or benefits
  • Limited annual elite night credits

Who is this card good for?

Travelers looking to start out with Marriott as one of their first hotel loyalty programs will find a lot of benefits to enjoy with this card. Since it charges no annual fee there is little to no risk about not using its benefits enough to justify carrying it. Though this credit card doesn’t carry nearly as many perks as other Marriott cards, it does come with Silver Elite status and standard purchase and travel protections.

Earning rewards

This card earns 3 points per dollar spent at hotels participating in the Marriott Bonvoy program, 2 points per dollar spent on ride-hailing, select food delivery, grocery stores, select streaming and internet, cable and phone service purchases and 1 point per dollar spent on other eligible purchases. Cardholders also earn 10 base points through the Bonvoy Program and a 10% bonus due to the complimentary Silver elite status.
