Marriott card welcome offers
Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card
Annual fee: None.
Sign-up bonus: Earn 60,000 bonus points after you spend $2,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
Is it worth it? The entry-level card into the Marriott Bonvoy family typically comes with a sign-up bonus that's half this offer, so now is as good of a time to apply. Off the bat, you're getting a value of $480 with your bonus points, according to TPG's valuations. It's rare that any no-annual-fee credit card comes with elite status, but with the Bonvoy Bold, you'll get automatic Silver elite status that gets you a 10% bonus on eligible Marriott stays, priority late check-out, and more.
Finally, you'll earn up to 14 points per dollar on eligible Marriott stays (3x with the Bonvoy Bold, 10x for Marriott Bonvoy members, and 1x for Silver Elite members), 2x on all travel purchases, and 1x on all other eligible purchases.

Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card
Annual fee: $95.
Sign-up bonus: Earn 125,000 points and a free night award worth up to 50,000 points after you spend $5,000 in the first three months of account opening.
Is it worth it? This Chase-issued card is offering up to an estimated $1,400 in value if you're able to make use of this complete sign-up bonus. The Bonvoy Boundless is a great mid-level card that pays for itself year after year. Although it carries a $95 annual fee, remember that you get a 35,000-point free night award after every account anniversary, which TPG values at $280. Even if you travel just a few times per year, there's no reason why most cardholders won't be able to maximize this card's value.
Just know that the Bonvoy Boundless (and the Bonvoy Bold above) are subject to the Chase 5/24 rule, so applicants who have opened more than five credit cards from any issuer in the past 24 months will likely be rejected from this card.

Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card
Annual fee: $125 (see rates and fees).
Welcome offer: Earn 125,000 bonus points and two bonus free night awards (worth 50,000 points each) after you use your new card to make $5,000 in eligible purchases within the first three months of card membership.
Is it worth it? This full welcome offer is worth up to 225,000 Marriott Bonvoy points or $1,800 in value. The Bonvoy Business Amex card also offers a solid return on eligible Marriott purchases (up to 17x, 6x from the card), plus 4x on purchases at U.S. restaurants, at U.S. gas stations, on wireless telephone services purchased directly from U.S. service providers, U.S. purchases for shipping and 2x on other eligible purchases.
If you’re a small business owner or simply have a side gig and semi-regularly stay at Marriott properties, this is a great card to add to your wallet. You’re getting a sizable list of perks, including automatic Bonvoy Silver status. There’s a pathway to upgrade to Gold Elite status by spending $35,000 on the card each year, too. You’ll also receive an annual free night award (worth up to 35,000 points), 15 elite qualifying night credits per year, and more.

Is it worth it? If you maximize this welcome offer, 150,000 bonus points and the free night award certificate of 85,000 points are worth $1,880 collectively, according to TPG's valuations.
If you’re normally a frequent traveler loyal to Marriott, this is a great card to add to your wallet. You’re getting a sizable list of perks, including automatic Bonvoy Gold status, an annual free night award (worth up to 50,000 points), up to $300 in annual statement credits for eligible Marriott purchases, Priority Pass lounge access, 15 elite qualifying night credits per year and so much more.
