Our Verdict
Previously we’ve seen bonuses of up to 35,000 SPG points (105,000 Marriott points) and 90,000 + $100 and 100,000 points via referral. These current bonuses are more competitive than the standard 75,000 bonus but are still not that special. Personally I’d wait for a bigger bonus to come along as those other bonuses have often had the annual fee waived as well. Keep in mind the massive Marriott devaluation that is happening soon as well. I won’t be adding these to the list of the best credit card bonuses.
