[DEAD, back down to 80K] The Chase Marriott Premier Business credit card has a highest ever limited time offer publicly available. You can receive 100,000 bonus points after you spend $5,000 on purchases in your first 3 months from your account opening. The card comes with a $99 annual fee which is not waived for the first year.
This is a very nice bonus. Marriott points are not the most valuable, but should be worth at least around 0.7 cents each. The spending requirement however is a little high, so make sure you have the means to spend $5,000 in three months. The earning rates on the card are not that good besides earning 5 points for every $1 spent at Marriott locations.
Keep in mind that that you do not qualify for this bonus offer if you have received a new cardmember bonus for this business credit card within the last 24 months.
Redeeming Marriott Points
As I mentioned above, you can get decent value for Marriott points, but as always it depends what catageory hotel you;re looking at. Here’s the points reward for one night stays:
Hotel Category | Hotel Reward | PointSavers Reward |
---|---|---|
1 | 7,500 | 6,000 |
2 | 10,000 | 7,500 |
3 | 15,000 | 10,000 |
4 | 20,000 | 15,000 |
5 | 25,000 | 20,000 |

7 | 35,000 | 30,000 |
8 | 40,000 | 35,000 |
9 | 45,000 | 40,000 |
Marriott also offers Travel Packages which can give you a even better value. Frequent Miler has a great post on it, where he talks about a secret option as well that starts at 165,000 miles for a 5-night stay at a Category 1-5 hotel.
