New Marriott Bonvoy card offers: Highest-ever bonuses offering up to five free nights

With over 9,000 properties and more than 35 brand names, there is a Marriott hotel for everyone.

When it comes to choosing a Marriott card, there are six options (five personal and one business) from Chase and American Express that offer many perks that can enhance your stay at Marriott properties.

The first two personal cards are offering their highest-ever welcome bonuses, making now an excellent time to apply.

Should you apply for one of Marriott's cards? Let's look at the details to see which one merits a place in your wallet.

Welcome offer: Earn five free nights (each night valued at up to 50,000 points) after spending $5,000 on eligible purchases in the first three months from account opening. Certain hotels have resort fees.

If you max out each night at 50,000 points, this offer could be worth up to 250,000 points, which, according to TPG's June 2025 valuations, makes this bonus worth up to $1,750. This matches the card's highest welcome offer, which we last saw a little over a year ago. This welcome bonus is typically offered once per year in Q1 or Q2.

It's also the most valuable welcome offer currently available on any Marriott card. If you're a Marriott fan and you can find even the slightest justification to have this card, we say jump on this offer now, as it likely won't be offered again until next year based on the card's offer history.

Earning rates: Cardholders earn:

• 6 points per dollar spent at Marriott hotels (You'll earn up to 17 points per dollar on eligible Marriott stays: 10 points from being a Bonvoy member, 6 points from this card and 10% bonus points from the Silver elite status the card provides, which equates to a total 11.9% return on spending based on TPG's June 2025 valuations)
• 3 points per dollar spent on the first $6,000 spent in combined purchases each year on dining and at gas stations and grocery stores
• 2 points per dollar spent on all other purchases

Why we like it: The Boundless gives you great Marriott perks without having to pay a high annual fee. With this card, you'll get automatic Bonvoy Silver Elite status and 15 elite qualifying nights every year. You'll also earn one elite night credit toward the next level of elite status for every $5,000 spent, and you can reach Gold Elite status by spending $35,000 on the card in a calendar year.

Perhaps the most valuable perk is the annual free night award (worth up to 35,000 points) at each account anniversary, though Marriott's lack of award charts could hinder your ability to use this benefit. This free night award can be topped up with up to 15,000 points from your Bonvoy account for a total of 50,000 points per night. Certain hotels have resort fees.

Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card

The Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card is Chase's entry-level card for Bonvoy enthusiasts.

Annual fee: $0

Welcome offer: Earn 60,000 bonus points plus one free night award (valued at up to 50,000 points) after spending $2,000 in the first three months from account opening. Certain hotels have resort fees.

Combined, the 60,000 bonus points and the up-to-50,000-point free night award are worth up to $770, according to TPG's June 2025 valuations.

This matches the card's highest welcome offer, which we last saw a little over two months ago. If this card has caught your eye, now is the ideal time to apply.

Earning rates: Cardholders earn:

• 3 points per dollar spent at Marriott hotels (You'll earn up to 14 points per dollar spent on eligible Marriott stays: 10 points from being a Bonvoy member, 3 points from this card and 10% bonus points from the Silver elite status the card provides, which equates to a 9.8% return on spending based on TPG's June 2025 valuations)
• 2 points per dollar spent at grocery stores and on select ride-hailing services, food delivery, streaming, internet, cable and phone services
• 1 point per dollar spent on all other purchases

Why we like it: The card offers automatic Bonvoy Silver Elite status and five annual elite night credits. It also has no foreign transaction fees. Additionally, the Bold features Chase's Pay Yourself Back benefit in eligible quarters.

This is a solid set of perks for a card with no annual fee. However, frequent Marriott guests may do better with a card that offers more perks during each stay.

Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful Credit Card

The Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful Credit Card is one of Chase's two mid-tier Bonvoy cards.

Annual fee: $250

Welcome offer: Earn 85,000 points after spending $4,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening. Based on TPG's June 2025 valuations, this offer is worth $595.

This is typically the standard welcome offer we see on this card. Unless you must have this card now, you're better suited to apply when the offer is higher.

Earning rates: Cardholders earn:

• 6 points per dollar spent at Marriott hotels (You'll earn up to 18.5 points per dollar spent on eligible Marriott stays: 10 points from being a Bonvoy member, 6 points from this card and 25% bonus points from the Gold elite status the card provides, which equates to a 13% return on spending based on TPG's June 2025 valuations)
• 4 points per dollar spent at restaurants and grocery stores (on the first $15,000 per year in combined purchases, then 2 points per dollar spent thereafter)
• 2 points per dollar spent on all other purchases

Why we like it: Whereas American Express issues the Bevy, this card comes from Chase. The two cards have mostly the same benefits, meaning the perks that come with this card struggle to justify its $250 annual fee. However, the welcome bonus may be of interest to you.

Marriott Bonvoy Bevy American Express Card

The Marriott Bonvoy Bevy American Express Card is Bonvoy's mid-tier card from Amex with earnings, benefits and an annual fee that mirror the Bountiful.

Annual fee: $250

Welcome offer: Earn 85,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 in purchases within the first six months of card membership and an extra 50,000 bonus points after making an additional $2,000 in purchases within the first six months. Based on TPG's June 2025 valuations, this offer is worth up to $945.

This offer is higher than the standard welcome offer we've seen on this card. However, if you can, hold out for an elevated offer — ideally 155,000 points or more (not currently available).

Earning rates: Cardmembers earn:

• 6 points per dollar spent at Marriott hotels (You'll earn up to 18.5 points per dollar spent on eligible Marriott stays: 10 points from being a Bonvoy member, 6 points from this card and 25% bonus points from the Gold elite status the card provides, which equates to a 13% return on spending based on TPG's June 2025 valuations).
• 4 points per dollar spent on the first $15,000 per year in combined purchases at restaurants worldwide and U.S. supermarkets (then 2 points per dollar spent thereafter)
• 2 points per dollar spent on other eligible purchases

Why we like it: This card also offers mid-tier perks, including complimentary Gold Elite status, a solid earning rate at Marriott properties and elite night credits. However, it lacks several benefits that you might expect from a mid-tier card.

For example, you must spend $15,000 in a calendar year to earn a free night (worth up to 50,000 points; certain hotels have resort fees). Other Marriott cards with lower annual fees include a similar perk with no spending requirement, making this card tough to justify holding beyond receiving the welcome bonus in the first year. Terms apply.

Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card

The Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card is Marriott's top-tier card.

Annual fee: $650

Welcome offer: Earn 100,000 bonus points after making $6,000 in purchases within the first six months of card membership and an extra 50,000 bonus points after making an additional $2,000 in purchases within the first six months. Based on TPG's June 2025 valuations, this offer is worth $1,050.

This offer is much higher than the standard welcome offer of 95,000 bonus points. While this current welcome offer is still a good one, you may want to wait to apply for a higher one of at least 185,000 points (not currently available).

Earning rates: Cardmembers earn:

• 6 points per dollar at Marriott hotels (You'll earn up to 21 total points per dollar spent on eligible Marriott stays: 10 points from being a Bonvoy member, 6 points from this card and 50% bonus points from the Platinum elite status the card provides, which equates to a 14.7% return on spending based on TPG's June 2025 valuations).
• 3 points per dollar at restaurants worldwide and on flights booked directly with airlines
• 2 points per dollar on other eligible purchases

Why we like it: The card also has valuable perks, such as automatic Marriott Bonvoy® Platinum Elite status, an annual free night award (worth up to 85,000 points; certain hotels have resort fees) after card renewal month, up to $25 in monthly statement credits (up to $300 per year) for eligible purchases at restaurants worldwide, Priority Pass lounge access and 25 elite qualifying night credits per year. Enrollment is required for select benefits; terms apply.

Remember that Marriott has dynamic pricing, so you may need to work harder to find a property to use free nights. But you can top up Marriott free night certificates with up to 15,000 points, letting you book a night worth up to 100,000 points.

Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card

The Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card is Marriott's only business card currently available to new applicants.

Annual fee: $125

Welcome offer: Earn three free night awards after spending $6,000 in eligible purchases within the first six months of card membership. Each free night award has a redemption level of up to 50,000 Marriott Bonvoy points for a total redemption value of up to 150,000 points. Certain hotels have resort fees. Terms apply.

If you max out each night at 50,000 points, the bonus could be worth up to 150,000 points, which, according to TPG's June 2025 valuations, makes this bonus worth up to $1,050.

The usual spending requirement is $8,000 in the first six months, so if you want a lower spending requirement (currently $2,000 lower), now is a good time to apply for the card. However, our advice is to hold off for an offer of five free nights (with the higher $8,000 spending requirement; not currently available) so that you can get more value from the welcome bonus.

Earning rates: Cardmembers earn:

• 6 points per dollar spent on Marriott hotels (You'll earn up to 18.5 total points per dollar spent on eligible Marriott stays: 10 points from being a Bonvoy member, 6 points from this card and 25% bonus points from the Gold elite status the card provides, which equates to a 13% return on spending based on TPG's June 2025 valuations).
• 4 points per dollar spent at restaurants worldwide and U.S. gas stations and on wireless telephone services and U.S. shipping purchases
• 2 points per dollar spent on all other purchases

Why we like it: With this card, you'll get automatic Gold Elite status with Marriott Bonvoy and up to a 7% discount on eligible bookings made directly with Marriott through an eligible channel at participating properties with this card's rate.

The card also comes with 15 elite night credits annually (which can be stacked with a Marriott Bonvoy consumer card) and a free night award annually after your card renewal month (worth up to 35,000 points and can be topped up with up to 15,000 points from your Bonvoy account for total of 50,000 points per night). In addition, you can earn a second free night (also worth up to 35,000 points) after $60,000 of purchases on your card in a calendar year. Terms apply.

Marriott's shift to dynamic pricing may make it harder to use these awards. Still, you should be able to find a participating property that can cover your annual fee (and then some), as our data indicates that there's still a lot of value in the program.

Can you apply for more than one Marriott card offer?

If multiple Marriott card offers intrigue you, you can indeed have more than one open Marriott card. Some TPG staffers have two or three. It can make sense to leverage the annual anniversary award nights and to stack the 5-25 elite nights awarded by carrying both a personal and small-business Marriott card.

However, with six total Marriott cards available for new applicants, there are several restrictions on who can earn the welcome offers across the available cards, especially since cards are issued by both Amex and Chase.

Note that these restrictions are all in addition to Chase's 5/24 rule (which applies to new applicants for the Bold, Boundless and Bountiful cards) and Amex's one-bonus-per-lifetime rule (which applies to the Bevy, Brilliant and Business cards).

Make sure you're eligible for these offers before applying.
