Free hotel nights. Low annual fee. Yes, please.
Chase is offering 3 Free Night Awards on the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card. Spend $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months, and the nights are yours. Each one is good for a stay at a hotel costing up to 50,000 points per night. That’s a lot of hotel for one welcome offer.
That annual fee, though
$95. That’s it.
Compare that to a lot of hotel cards out there. Now think about what you get back: three free nights up front, plus a free night award every year after on your card anniversary (up to 35,000 points). One good redemption can pay for the fee several times over.
Where can you use the free nights?
Marriott has thousands of hotels worldwide, so you’ve got options. Here are a few to get you dreaming:
- The Algonquin Hotel, New York City — a historic Midtown hotel steps from Times Square and Broadway. Off-season dates can land right at 50,000 points.
- St. Kitts Marriott Resort — Caribbean beach time, with nights that often price at or below 50,000 points.
- Machu Picchu, Peru — yes, really. A bucket-list trip can be a lot more doable with a free night.
Tip: Marriott lets you top off a Free Night Award with extra points, up to 15,000 per night. A hotel priced a little higher than 50,000 is still in reach. Award pricing changes by date, so always check availability for your travel dates.
The fine print (the quick version)
- Spend $3,000 in the first 3 months to earn the 3 Free Night Awards.
- Free Night Awards can take up to 8 weeks to show up in your Marriott Bonvoy account. They expire after 12 months, so plan your trip.
- You may not qualify if you currently have, or recently received a bonus on, certain Marriott Bonvoy cards. Check the offer details when you apply.
