Our Verdict
We’ve seen bonuses of 100,000 on the Marriott Premier Plus card before, I suspect this will be a somewhat common increased bonus that they offer on this newly rebranded Bonvoy boundless card. If you have a short/medium term need for points then this card might make sense to sign up for, but I’d expect the bonus to only increase in the longer term.
Most people won’t even be eligible for this card in the first place due to all the restrictions and the fact that the 5/24 rule applies to this card. If you are eligible you’ll also need to consider if you should go for this bonus, or save the 5/24 slot for another Chase card. Again that will depend on your travel plans/goals. Before applying for this card, read these things everybody should know about Chase. I personally don’t value Marriott points highly and don’t think this is a particularly amazing bonus, so I won’t be adding it to the best credit card bonus page.
