Our Verdict
We just posted about a similar deal on the personal version, which has an annual fee of $85 not waived. As with the personal bonus, I wouldn’t recommend this offer for one reason: it’s possible to get a bonus of 70,000 points + a free night at a category 1-4 property after only $2,000 spending and the annual fee of $99 is waived. You’d need to value Marriott points at well over 1¢ each for this to be the better off.
Two things to keep in mind with Chase Marriott cards, the new Chase rules don’t apply to co-branded cards like this and the anniversary certificates are now valid for one year instead of six months.
