Chase is planning to make negative changes to the Marriott Bonvoy Bold card (no annual fee). The changes will go into effect on 7/10/24. Changes are as follows:
- 5 elite night credits per calendar year (previously 15). Card will come with automatic silver status (previously it came with silver status from the 15 elite nights)
- Earn 2X – grocery stores, rideshare, internet/cable/phone services as well as some food delivery and streaming services (previously 2x on travel purchases)
- More benefits are coming (unclear what these are)
I always found it somewhat strange that the no annual fee card offered so many free elite night credits, I guess too many people were gaming this and they decided to change it. Can’t imagine them adding anything that would make up for this change, but you never know I guess.
