Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Offers Limited-Time Bonus to New Applicants

From Sept. 12 to Nov. 7, 2024, new cardholders can get the following: Earn 125,000 bonus points toward free stays at hotels participating in Marriott Bonvoy after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening. NerdWallet values Marriott points at 0.8 cent each, making this new offer worth around $1,000.

Previously, the card offered new applicants three free-night awards (each night valued up to 50,000 points) after spending $3,000 on purchases in their first three months from account opening.

At face value, the new sign-up bonus offers fewer points than the previous one and has a higher spending requirement in the same amount of time. However, the new offer is for points, not free-night certificates, which offers a little more flexibility in cases where a one-night Marriott stay would cost considerably more than 50,000 points.

Besides the change to the card’s welcome offer, the terms and benefits of the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card remain the same.

The $95-annual-fee card offers the following ongoing rewards:

• Up to 17 Marriott Bonvoy® points per $1 spent at over 7,000 participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels.

• 3 Marriott Bonvoy® points per $1 on the first $6,000 spent in combined purchases each year on grocery stores, gas stations and dining.

• 2 Marriott Bonvoy® points for every $1 spent on all other eligible purchases.
