Marriott Bonvoy Increased Credit Card Sign-Up Offers

Marriott has cobranded credit cards in several markets, such as Mexico, United Arab Emirates, and Japan, which still have an SPG branded one (I never quite understood this one).

Marriott Bonvoy has launched new sign-up offers with higher category certificates and bonus points with Chase and American Express for members in the United States.

You can access Marriott here.

Conclusion

Members have been vocal about the difficulty of using lower category certificates due to every higher redemption requirement in many markets.

I haven’t had much difficulty using various Marriott free night certificates, but you do have to pay attention to when and where to use them to get the best value out of them (I am burning two next month in Dubai when the paid rates are really high).

The cards with bonus elite nights help members retain or reach a higher tier with the program but don’t do much for lifetime Platinum or Titanium members beyond helping to reach 50 or 75 nights for annual Choice benefit.
