A Better Bonus for Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Card
Chase and Marriott Bonvoy recently launched a new bonus of 100,000 points for the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless credit card. However, there’s also a different welcome offer available that can be an even better option, depending on your valuation of Marriott Bonvoy points. Let’s take a look at the details.
The Offer
- Get a Marriott Bonvoy $300 eGift Card delivered to your email upon approval.
- Plus earn 75,000 Bonus Points after you spend $3,000 on purchases in your first three months from account opening.
- Annual Fee: $95
Card Highlights
- Up to 17X total points for every $1 spent at hotels participating in Marriott Bonvoy:

- Up to 10X points from Marriott for being a Marriott Bonvoy member
- Up to 1X points from Marriott with Automatic Silver Elite Status
- 3X points per $1 on the first $6,000 spent in combined purchases each year on grocery stores, gas stations and dining
- Earn one Elite Night Credit toward Elite Status for every $5,000 spent

Conclusion
The offer that is currently publicized by Chase and Marriott gets you 100,000 Bonvoy points after spending $3,000 in three months.
This offer gives you less points, only 75,000. But you also gets a $300 Marriott gift card. I think most people will value the gift card more than 25,000 points, especially if taken at face value.
However, keep in mind that we have seen even better bonuses in the past for the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless credit card, up to 5 free nights.

BE AWARE: Their gift cards can NOT be used to book reservations!!
So much much less then face value…
You can’t BOOK the reservation, but as long as it’s not pre-paid you can PAY with it at check-out. It’s only less than face value if you normally book pre-paid and have to pay a higher rate to get the reservation you want. It’s a good warning, but lots of us don’t like to use prepaid rates.
