Marriott Bonvoy credit cards offer a unique opportunity for cardholders to earn free night certificates annually, making them an attractive option even for those who do not frequently travel. Each card provides at least one certificate per year, which can often offset the cost of annual fees.
Three Marriott Bonvoy cards currently available include the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card, Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card, and Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card. Each card offers distinct benefits in terms of points and fees. The Boundless card provides a 35,000-point certificate annually with a $95 fee. The Brilliant card offers an 85,000-point certificate with a $650 fee. The Business card gives a 35,000-point certificate each anniversary and another after spending $60,000 annually; it carries a $125 fee.
According to October 2024 valuations from TPG, these certificates hold values ranging from $298 to $723. It's noted that users can enhance their redemption value by adding up to 15,000 points to their awards.
