Our Verdict
Previous best offer was 125k points + $200 restaurant credit. This is a better deal as long as you use the free night certificate on a stay you’d be happy to spend $200+ on normally as this is an extra 25k points. Personally I’d make sure you have a plan for three things before signing up:
- What you’ll use the Marriott points on
- What you’ll use the resort credit on
- What you’ll use the free night certificate on
There is also an increased offer on the Marriott boundless & Marriott business card. We will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.
