Marriott and Chase have partnered to give away 500k Marriott Bonvoy Points to 10 lucky winners who state their case for finally getting their trip out of the group chat. We’ve all been there, you mention everyone going on a trip, and then no one pulls the trigger. ( Ok, maybe it’s been a while since I’ve mentioned a trip that I didn’t go on, but I can relate ). Well, there are two ways you can remedy the situation – and 2 winners are chosen each of the 5 submission weeks and announced around 11/13/24. The official chart is down below.
- Write a story
- Make an Instagram Reel.
Rules:
- Reel video must be 60 seconds or less, include the #Contest hashtag in post description and reel must remain public until November 30th, 2024.
- Submit a new entry every week through Wednesday, October 30, 2024
What Marriott says to do:
- Briefly tell us about:
- Your proposed trip;
- What is holding you back from booking it; and
- Create an Instagram Reel or share a brief story on why your trip has been stuck in the group chat and how winning 500,000 Marriott Bonvoy Points can help make your trip a reality for your group.
- Tell us by creating an Instagram** Reel (maximum 60 seconds) or in words/a written description (maximum 700 characters).
- **If you are creating a Reel, post your Reel on Instagram and include #contest.
- Go to chase.com/BoldChatCourt, complete the required registration information, and either:
- Type or copy your story into the required field, or
- Include the link to your Instagram Reel from your public Instagram account where required.
- Click the Submit button (collectively the “Entry”).

We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.
Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.
Main Cast:
Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.
Supporting Cast:
Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on.
The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.
If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex® and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners
Annual fee is quite low at $95 a year + you get a 10% anniversary bonus on points + $50 hotel credit in Chase travel.
