There is an increased bonus offer through January 13, 2021 for the Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card. Now you can earn 100,000 bonus Points after you use your new Card to make $5,000 in purchases within the first 3 months. AND And, get up to $150 back in statement credits for all eligible U.S. Advertising Purchases in Select Media within your first 6 months of Card Membership. PLUS, ENJOY COMPLIMENTARY PLATINUM ELITE STATUS WITH YOUR CARD FOR THE 2021 STATUS YEAR.
However, be careful, you cannot get this bonus offer if you…
- Have or have had this product or the Starwood Preferred Guest Business Credit Card-this knocks me out as I used to have this card and canceled it in April 2018.
- Have or have had the Chase Marriott Bonvoy Premier Business or the Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Plus Business Credit Card or the Chase Marriott Bonvoy Business card or the Chase Marriott Rewards Business Credit Card in the last 30 days.
- Have acquired the Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless, the Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Plus Credit Card, the Chase Marriott Bonvoy Bold, the Chase Marriott Bonvoy Premier, the Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Credit Card in the last 90 days
- Have received a new Card Member bonus in the last 24 months for the Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless, Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Plus Credit Card, the Chase Marriott Bonvoy Bold, the Chase Marriott Bonvoy Premier Plus, the Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Credit Card.
In addition, before you apply, make sure your ability to get the sign-up bonus is not limited by American Express lifetime language or the 5 card rule or the 90 day rule or the other factors language. Luckily, Amex will stop you if you can’t get the bonus before you submit your application and your credit won’t be pulled.
The card has a $125 Annual Fee and there are no additional cardholder fees.
You earn Marriott Bonvoy points as follows:
1. Earn 6 Points per $1 spent at Marriott Bonvoy Resorts
2. Earn 4 Points per $1 at U.S. restaurants, at U.S. gas stations, on wireless telephone services purchased directly from U.S. service providers and on U.S. purchases for shipping.
3. Earn 2 Points for every dollar you spend on all your other purchases.
You pay no foreign transaction fees when you use your card on purchases made outside the United States.
My favorite perk is that you receive 1 Free Night Award every year after your Card account anniversary. The award can be used for one night (redemption level at or under 35,000 points) at a participating hotel.
You receive complimentary Silver Elite status with your Card (now Platinum status with the offer). Earn Gold Elite status after spending $35,000 or more in eligible purchases on your Card in a calendar year. Also, you will receive 15 elite night credits toward your next Elite membership level. Each year after this year, you will get 15 Elite Night credits as long as your Card Account is open as of December 31 of the prior calendar year. If you have more than one Marriott Bonvoy card, you will receive only 15 nights with just one of the cards. You can read about Elite Status here.
Also, if, in any calendar year you spend $60,000, you will receive a Free Night Award. The Free Night Award can be redeemed for a one-night stay at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels with a redemption level at or under 35,000 Marriott Bonvoy points. The Free Night Award will be automatically deposited into your Marriott Bonvoy member account within 8-12 weeks after you meet the purchase requirement.
You can receive free in-room, premium Internet access while staying with Marriott Bonvoy Participating Hotels.
As with Amex, you get Purchase Protection which protects eligible purchases made with the Card in the event they are accidentally damaged or stolen for up to 90 days from the date of purchase.
