Top perks
There's a lot to like about the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card.
Earn 3 Free Night Awards as a welcome bonus
Earn 3 Free Night Awards after you spend $3,000 on purchases in your first 3 months from your account opening. Each Free Night Award is valid for a one-night stay at a property with a redemption value of up to 50,000 points. That includes many expensive Marriott properties, making this one of the more valuable welcome offers you can find.

Complimentary Silver Elite status
This credit card includes Silver Elite status in the Marriott Bonvoy program. Benefits of that status tier include a 10%-point bonus on stays, late checkout when available, and free wifi.
There's also the opportunity to move up to Gold Elite status. You can earn this upgrade by spending $35,000 on purchases each calendar year with your Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card.
High rewards rate
The Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card earns up to 17 points per $1 on purchases at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels. It earns a base rate of 6 points per $1 on these purchases, plus you can also earn another 10 points per $1 for being a Marriott Bonvoy member and 1 point per $1 for Silver Elite status. If you reach a higher status tier, you can earn even more.
In addition, this card earns:
- 3 points per $1 on the first $6,000 in combined purchases each year at grocery stores, gas stations, and dining
- 2 points per $1 on other purchases
Annual free night award
Every year after your account anniversary, you'll receive a free night award. This gets you one night at a property with a redemption level of up to 35,000 points. If you use that free night, you'll most likely come out ahead on the card's annual fee from that alone.
