marriott bonvoy brilliant

Marriott has changed up the offers on its complete line of Marriott Bonvoy credit cards from Chase and American Express.

This is the first time I can recall seeing offers that give bonus points based on hotel nights (note that they don’t include award stays). On all of these new card offers, from the Brilliant down to the Bold, they have added in a kicker that gives you 50,000 bonus points after you stay 6 eligible paid nights at hotels participating in Marriott Bonvoy® through 1/31/24.

New Bonus Offers on Marriott Bonvoy Credit Cards

Let’s take a look at each offer:

Terms apply.

​Once approved for an eligible card, card members’ Marriott Bonvoy account will be automatically registered into this promotional offer. For convenience, new card members will be able to track their progress toward six eligible nights on a personalized Promotions page on the Marriott Bonvoy app and website.

Offer Terms and Conditions

The promotion earning period is between the applicant’s new card open date through January 31, 2024. Only eligible paid nights completed after card open date and during the promotion earning period will qualify towards the promotional offer. Eligible paid nights include all paid stays, including pre-paid stays and bookings paid with Marriott eGiftCards that are booked using the eligible cardmember’s Marriott Bonvoy account.

Eligible paid nights do NOT include: (i) award redemption stay nights including Cash + Points Awards, Free Night Awards, or a points redemption; (ii) stays booked through third-party online retailers and travel agencies;  and (iii) stays at Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott Executive Apartments®, and owner-occupied weeks at Marriott Vacation Club®, Marriott Grand Residence Club®, Sheraton Vacation Club®, Westin Vacation Club®, The Ritz-Carlton Club®, St. Regis Residence Club® and Luxury Collection Residence Club. Eligible paid nights do not need to be booked with an eligible card but must be booked under the eligible cardmember’s Marriott Bonvoy account number to count toward the promotional offer. ​

Only one room at one property per night will count toward the promotional offer. The eligible paid nights do not need to be part of the same stay and can be achieved over multiple stays. The 50,000 bonus points will be awarded to the eligible cardmember’s Marriott Bonvoy account by Marriott up to 12 weeks after the sixth eligible paid night is completed. A Marriott Bonvoy member who elects to earn miles is not eligible for this promotional offer. To be eligible for this promotional offer, your eligible card account must be open and not in default at the time of promotional offer fulfillment. If your eligible card account is not open for at least six (6) months, Marriott, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A, and American Express reserve the right to deduct the bonus points from your Marriott Bonvoy account.​
