Chase, the co-brand card issuer in the U.S., and Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott International’s award-winning travel program and marketplace, announced new and enhanced benefits on the Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card. Cardmembers now earn more Marriott Bonvoy points toward free stays and Marriott Bonvoy Moments experiences on a variety of popular everyday spend categories, and have access to an exciting new Travel Now, Pay Later benefit. These enhancements aim to help cardmembers get one step closer to their travel goals by unlocking more inspiring experiences around the world among Marriott Bonvoy’s extraordinary portfolio of more than 30 extraordinary brands and 10,000 global destinations. The card still has no annual fee, even with the addition of these new benefits and features.
With the new Travel Now, Pay Later benefit, cardmembers can now break up qualifying travel purchases into equal monthly payments, with no interest and no plan fees. This benefit is available on purchases between $100 to $5,000 made directly with an airline or at hotels participating in Marriott Bonvoy. Cardmembers earn points on these purchases, like usual.
In addition, Marriott Bonvoy Bold cardmembers now earn 2X points on every $1 spent on purchases at grocery stores and for rideshare, select food delivery, select streaming, and internet, cable, and phone services. Cardmembers also receive Automatic Marriott Bonvoy Silver Elite status every year, which comes with perks like Priority Late Checkout (when available) and 10% more points on stays toward free stays and Marriott Bonvoy experiences. Plus, cardmembers will also receive 5 Elite Night Credits every calendar year to help them achieve even higher Elite status in Marriott Bonvoy and unlocking more program benefits. These upgrades are enjoyed alongside existing earn categories of up to 14X total points for every $1 spent at hotels participating in Marriott Bonvoy, and 1X for every $1 spent on all other purchases.
“We relaunched the Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card from Chase with the goal of helping new and existing cardmembers make their travel dreams with Marriott Bonvoy a near-term reality,” said Khary Barnes, Managing Director and General Manager of Marriott Bonvoy Co-Brand Cards at Chase. “The addition of the new benefits and features will help the card reach new audiences, with our research demonstrating that both 2X on these everyday purchase categories and the Travel Now, Pay Later benefit highly resonated with Gen Z and Millennial audiences.”
“The enhanced Bold card means every day purchases will turn into free stays throughout the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio of brands even quicker and it comes with no annual fee making it perfect for younger consumers,” said David Flueck, Global Head of Loyalty, Cards and Partnerships. “We are helping fulfill our members’ passions to explore the world by delivering more ways they can earn points and achieve elite status.”
