Chase and Marriott Bonvoy® Unveil Enhanced Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card
Chase and Marriott Bonvoy®, Marriott International’s travel program, announced enhanced benefits for cardmembers of the Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card. Bold cardmembers can earn twice the Marriott Bonvoy points for every dollar they spend on everyday essentials and categories, including groceries, food deliveries, rideshares, and internet, phone, cable, and streaming services. The card also has a new Travel Now, Pay Later benefit, allowing cardmembers to pay for their qualifying travel purchases in smaller monthly payments with no interest or fees. The Travel Now, Pay Later option is available for direct bookings with hotels and airlines participating in Marriott Bonvoy’s program and purchases between $100 and $5,000.
“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.”
Cardmembers of the Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card will also be upgraded to Silver Elite status, which includes perks like Priority Late Checkout and a 10% points bonus on stays. The points can be redeemed toward free stays and Marriott Bonvoy experiences. Additionally, members will receive five Elite Night Credits each year to reach higher elite status levels in the Marriott Bonvoy program, which will help them score even more benefits. To celebrate the enhancements, Chase is offering new cardmembers 60,000 bonus points and one free night once they’ve spent $2,000 in the first three months of opening their account.
