Should I get a Marriott Bonvoy Boundless credit card?
The answer to this question will always depend on your personal situation, but if you plan to stay at least once a year at a Marriott hotel, this card could be beneficial to you. The annual fee for the card is $95 and you receive a 35,000 points certificate every year. This certificate can easily be redeemed for a stay at a hotel in the $250 range. With this annual stay you can easily make up for the annual fee of the card. See examples below.
What other benefits does the card offer?
You will automatically receive Silver Elite Status with Marriott, will also get 15 elite night credits and 1 elite night credit for each $5,000 spent on the card. These elite night credits can be helpful if you are pursuing a higher Elite Status. See below comparison of some of the elite benefits at different levels and number of elite nights required for each one.
The card will also allow you to earn 6 points for every $1 spent at hotels participating in Marriott Bonvoy program; 3 points for every $1 spent on gas stations, grocery stores or dining (up to $6,000 each year); and 2 points for every $1 spent on everything else.
Current sign up offer
If you are considering getting this card, this is a great time to do that. Chase currently has a great introductory offer going on. After signing up and spending $5,000 on the card during the first three months, you will receive 5 free night awards (up to 50,000 points each).
These hotel stays could cost in average $400 - $500, sometimes even more. Therefore this offer can easily save you $2,000 on hotel stay with these 5 free nights. Take a look at some of the examples below.
It is important to mention that Marriott recently added the capability to "top off" your certificates, which is quite helpful when a hotel stay requires a little more than the 50,000 limit on your certificate. If you wanted to stay at The Ritz-Carlton Cancun and the cost in points was 52,000, you could apply your 50,000 award certificate and use 2,000 points from your account to book this stay. You are able to top your certificate with up to 15,000 points. This allows you to use your 35,000 certificate on properties valued up to 50,000 points and use your 50,000 certificate on any property up to 65,000 points; depending on availability.
If you decide to apply, go directly to Chase.com website and find it under personal credit cards. Chase will typically lower the sign up bonus when you use referral links, therefore is usually best to go directly to their website to get the best offer available.
