Enhanced Benefits for Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card and 100K Bonus
Today, Chase and Marriott Bonvoy announced enhanced benefits to the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card to help cardmembers earn toward future travel quicker. The updated benefits allow cardmembers to earn more Marriott Bonvoy points on everyday purchases and a faster path to Marriott Bonvoy Elite Status based on spend. And no, the annual fee is not going up. So you actually get some more value for the same price.
Boundless cardmembers can now earn 3X points when they make purchases at grocery stores, gas stations and restaurants (up to $6,000 in combined purchases per calendar year). Cardmembers will also now automatically receive one Elite Night Credit for every $5,000 in purchases, with no cap toward achieving higher Elite Status in Marriott Bonvoy. This is in addition to current earning benefits of up to 17X points for every $1 spent at hotels participating in Marriott Bonvoy and 2X points on all other purchases, as well as automatic Silver Elite Status, 15 Elite Night Credits toward the next level of Elite Status each calendar year and a Free Night Award every year after account anniversary. Plus there’s a new welcome bonus.

Guru’s Wrap-up
It’s always a good thing when you see increased earning rates on select categories. But even at 3X points on grocery stores, gas stations and dining, the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card will probably not be your go to options for these purchases. There are other credit cards that earn more valuable points. But if you’re going for status, then automatically receive one Elite Night Credit for every $5,000 in purchases, with no cap toward achieving higher Elite Status in Marriott Bonvoy.
As for the welcome bonus, keep in mind that there’s also still an offer for 3 Free Night Awards (valued up to 50,000 points each) when you spend $3,000 in your first three months + 10X total points per $1 spent on up to $2,500 in combined purchases at gas stations, restaurants, and grocery stores for your first 6 months.
There’s now a new offer that gets you 75,000 bonus points and a $300 Marriott eGift Card.
