Following in the footsteps of American Express US’s bevy of changes to Marriott Bonvoy cards, Chase has made some moves on their own Marriott Bonvoy co-branded portfolio, too.
New Chase Bonvoy Bountiful Card
Chase has debuted a new credit card known as the Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful Credit Card, which slots into their Marriott Bonvoy portfolio alongside the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless and the Marriott Bonvoy Bold.
The Bonvoy Bountiful is the most expensive of the lot with a $250 annual fee (all figures in USD), while the other two cards have a $95 annual fee and no annual fee, respectively.
The Chase Bonvoy Bountiful Card is essentially a carbon copy of the American Express US Marriott Bonvoy Bevy Card, down to every last detail (refer to the linked article for a deeper breakdown of the benefits).
- $250 annual fee
- Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status
- 1,000 bonus points per stay
- Free Night Award worth 50,000 points upon spending $15,000
- 15 elite qualifying nights
- 6/4/4/2 earning rates
- Welcome bonus of 125,000 Bonvoy points
Just like the Bonvoy Bevy Card, there isn’t too much about this card that stands out in exchange for a $250 annual fee.
The welcome bonus of 125,000 Bonvoy points is worth consideration, especially if you’re maxed out on five Amex US credit cards.
But other than that, the lower-end $95 Chase Bonvoy Boundless or Amex US Bonvoy Card would appear to cost less but offer more, while the higher-end $650 Amex US Bonvoy Brilliant would appear to cost more but offer a lot more.
The Ritz-Carlton Card: Anniversary Free Night Award Increases to 85,000 Points
The Ritz-Carlton Credit Card by Chase emerges as a winner among today’s shakeup of the US-issued Marriott Bonvoy credit cards.
Matching the change to the Amex US Bonvoy Brilliant, the Ritz-Carlton Card’s anniversary Free Night Award will now be worth 85,000 points, up from the previous 50,000 points.
In addition to that change, the card’s additional benefits will continue to apply:
- Three Club Level upgrades per year, up to seven nights per stay
- Complimentary Marriott Gold Elite status
- $300 annual airline incidentals credit
- Unlimited $100 luxury credit at The Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis hotels on stays of 2+ nights
- 15 elite qualifying nights
- Priority Pass membership with unlimited guests
- Free authorized users who are also eligible for their own full Priority Pass membership
