Our Verdict
Chase currently offers a 70,000 point sign up bonus on this card, you’d need to value Marriott points at less than 0.33¢ each for this to be a better offer, you also need elite status with Marriott to be eligible. Chase also has another bonus on this card which is a $150 statement credit + 40,000 points but you need elite status with Marriott to be eligible.
I don’t value Marriott points highly at all so I am just going to not bother with this card for now unless a truly fantastic deal comes along. You can also get 140,000 Marriott points on the Chase Ritz-Carlton card after $3,000 in spend but the annual fee of $395 is not waived.
We’ve added this to the list of cash credit card sign up bonuses and will update our best hotel credit card post shortly as well.
