Is the Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card right for you?
The Marriott Bonvoy Bold is a no-annual-fee Marriott Bonvoy card from Chase. Its strongest everyday earning is 14x on Marriott Bonvoy Hotels, with 1x on most other purchases. With no fee, the question is simply whether 14x on Marriott Bonvoy Hotels beats what your current card earns there.
Who it's for
- ✓ People who spend steadily on Marriott Bonvoy Hotels, where it earns 14x
- ✓ Regular Marriott Bonvoy customers who will redeem with that program
- ✓ Anyone who wants Marriott Bonvoy Hotels rewards without paying an annual fee
Who should skip it
- — People with no loyalty to Marriott Bonvoy
- — Heavy spenders outside Marriott Bonvoy Hotels — everything else earns 1x
First-year value estimate
Year two, without the welcome bonus: about $332 before credits ($332 in rewards minus the $0 fee).
Assumptions
- $3,000 a year in Marriott Bonvoy Hotels (14x) and $9,000 on everything else (1x) — $12,000 total, about $1,000 a month.
- Rewards valued at 0.65¢ per Marriott Bonvoy (OpenCard valuation; cash-out value can be lower).
- Welcome bonus: 30,000 Marriott Bonvoy at 0.65¢ each (OpenCard valuation) ≈ $195.
- No annual fee in any year.
- Recurring credits are listed separately below and are not counted here.
