Chase Marriott Boundless Personal Credit Card
This may have already been posted but just in case someone didn't see it.
Offer came out September 29 for
125,000 points plus a 50K free night with $3000 spend. After renewal you would get a yearly 35K certificate. $95 annual fee.
www.Doctorofcredit.com doesn't see this as a 'best' offer - he preferred the 5 times 50k FNC offer.
Personally I think it's a great offer for those of us who use 'on the road' hotels that range in the low 20K's.
Also, points don't expire, certs do, so juggling them can become tiresome.
In general I prefer points. They don't expire but there's always the chance of devaluation. My recent use of an 85K cert coming up is for a 57k room. Makes me feel as if I'm wasting 28k points! I hesitate to hold it longer as I have no real plan for it and the return could end up being lower.
For far ahead planners these might work well to start or beef up a supply.
