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.
Is Chase Marriot Premier business cards minimum requirements be met by buying gift cards?
You think they will match me to 80,000 if I recently got approved for 70,000?
Do the elite credits stack between the two cards?
