Current Marriott Credit Card offers

The past couple of years I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing a wonderful selection of Marriott’s most luxurious properties around the world. If you’re a Marriott enthusiast, stay at them for work, or prefer their portfolio of properties, it could be advantageous to equip your wallet with “Supporting Cast” card(s) that are Marriott branded to enjoy extra benefits while on property.

Here’s several Marriott properties I’ve reviewed and recommend 

• St Regis Maldives
  • Gorgeous, massive villas that are a bucket list destination. 85-100k would be a steal here.
• London Edition
  • Sleek, chic, and great bar scene. If you can score a 50k night, you won’t be disappointed in this Soho property
• JW Marriott Grosvenor House
  • Wonderful location off Hyde Park, recently renovated, great use of 50k cert with a dope club lounge )
• Park Tower London 
  • Knightsbridge – a bit dated, but great location and good use of 50k night cert
• The Joseph Nashville
  • Luxury Collection property just off broadway that features a cool rooftop pool
• St Regis New York
  • Iconic, incredible luxury property, smack dab on 5th avenue. Anything under 100k is a steal.
• St Regis Rome
  • Beautifully renovated, 10-15 mins from Spanish Steps
• St Regis Doha
  • Large, beach front hotel with multiple pools, and great elite benefits
• Ritz Carlton Abu Dhabi
  • Incredible location across from the Grand Mosque that is on the beach with multiple dining options

American Express Marriott Bonvoy Business Card 

100k Marriott Bonvoy Points after $4k spend in 3 months

The best offer on this card previously has been one of the two following offers: “150k + 1 free 85k night” or “125k + 2 free nights up to 50k” both with $5k min spends in 3 months. This current offer now includes a Gold status and a 7% discount on qualifying rates. Personally, I’d hold off on this until we see a more attractive bonus, but holding this and the Brilliant are a great combo to net 30 elite nights.

American Express Marriott Bonvoy Bevy

125k Marriott Bonvoy points after $4k in 3 months

This is a brand new card from American Express that effectively has the same benefits as the Bountiful card from Chase. Honestly, I think most people would be better served with the Chase Marriott Boundless for $95 or the big boy, The Amex Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant, that offers up Platinum status, 25 elite nights, and an annual 85k free night certificate. This requires hefty spend to get a free night certificate and doesn’t really add a ton of extra value for the $250 annual fee.

• 6 Marriott Bonvoy(R) points for each dollar of eligible purchases at hotels participating in Marriott Bonvoy.

Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant(R) American Express(R) Card

150k Points after $5k in 3 months

This is the flagship Marriott branded credit card. It comes with a hefty $650 annual fee, but if you’re staying at Marriott properties regularly, it could be well worth it. Why? For starters, it yields Marriott Bonvoy Platinum status which comes with access to club lounges and free breakfast. I don’t really think chasing any other Marriott status below Platinum is worth it, and this card gives it to you straight off the bat. It also yields 25 elite nights every year which is a great boost to your account and 10 more than any of the other Marriott branded cards.  You also get a 85k free night certificate upon account anniversary and a $25 monthly dining credit.

$650 is a lot, but if you stay 25 nights a year at Marriott properties you’re guaranteed Platinum status with access to the 50 night choice benefits which include 5 nights up suite upgrades and some other options.

Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless 

3 free nights ( up to 50k )  after $3k in 3 months

My wife and I have this card – we got it in 2020 when it was offering 5 nights, up to 50k in value a piece, and in my opinion it’s the best offer ( it came back in early 2022). You should know that you can add 15k points to free night certificates so those would be capped at 65k per night. If you’re looking to shore up your account to stay at properties that are in excess of 65k – it may be worth waiting until an offer that gives points vs free nights comes back. Otherwise, 3 free nights up to 50k a piecer is pretty solid.

• Earn 3 Free Night Awards (each night valued up to 50,000 points) after $3k spend in 3 months

Overall

The year of the amazing credit offers continues onward. The biggest thing to keep an eye on with these offers is whether you qualify. It’s really complex to figure out the eligibility on these bad boys, but if you’re questioning it…Frequent Miler has the best chart.
