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 Year’s 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 — maybe this will finally be the year I reach Platinum Elite. If you’ve 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 that’s 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]( - [3 reasons why the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless is worth the $95 annual fee]( - [6 best hotels in the world to use your 50K free night award redemption]( - [Best Marriott credit cards of March 2024]( Posts in this newsletter contains references to products from one or more of our advertisers.
