by Tanner Saunders, Senior Hotels Reporter
[TPG | Hero Image] Even as one of TPGâs senior hotel reporters, I wasnât convinced that I needed a hotel credit card, partly because the nature of my job has me staying at so many different hotel brands throughout the year that Iâm never truly chasing top-tier status with just one brand. But then, a limited-time offer for the [Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card]( changed my mind since I would earn five free night awards (worth 50,000 points each) after meeting the spending threshold, plus 17 points per dollar spent at Marriott hotels. Considering I was planning a pricey stay at The Westin Maui Resort & Spa, Kaanapali, I figured I could maximize my return on the card. I ended up using my five free night certificates for various stays, including a truly amazing redemption for three nights on a last-minute trip to Paris for New Yearâs Eve. Now, the card has a solid place in my wallet. I love that I can earn 3 points per dollar on the first $6,000 spent in combined purchases at grocery stores, gas stations and restaurants each year. The card also comes with 15 elite night credits to help reach elite status more quickly â maybe this will finally be the year I reach Platinum Elite. If youâve been on the fence like I was, let me tell you that the card, which only carries a $95 yearly membership fee, currently has a limited-time offer similar to the one that enticed me. Right now, you can [earn five free night awards]( (each night valued at up to 50,000 points, and certain hotels have resort fees) after spending $5,000 on purchases in your first three months from account opening with the Bonvoy Boundless. One last thing thatâs a nice surprise each year is the annual 35,000-point award stay that pops up on account renewal, meaning one more night covered for another trip down the line. That night alone makes up the $95 annual fee, in my eyes. - [Marriott Bonvoy Boundless credit card review: Worth keeping year after year](
