KEY LINK: Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express® Card – Earn 155,000 Marriott Bonvoy bonus points after spending $5,000 in 6 months. $250 annual fee (see rates and fees)
I’ve often said that one of the best ways to get lots of miles and points is through applying for new credit cards. It’s just too hard to get any appreciable amount of miles by just your regular everyday spending (unless you are spending a LOT). So for most people, regularly applying for new credit cards every couple of months is the best way to get enough miles and points to go somewhere fun. Of course, that also goes right into the other thing that I regularly say, and that is to not apply for a credit card just because some guy on the Internet said that you should.
Marriott Bonvoy Bevy Welcome Offer
The Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express® Card just came out with a brand new offer and it’s pretty compelling. You can earn 155,000 Marriott Bonvoy bonus points after spending $5,000 in 6 months.

- 2X Marriott Bonvoy® points per $1 spent on all other eligible purchases.
- Free Night Award (valued up to 50,000 points) after spending $15,000 in a calendar year

Other Marriott Credit Cards
If you’re not sure about paying the $250 annual fee on the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy, Marriott does also have a no-fee co-branded credit card with Chase, the Marriott Bonvoy Bold. Here are a few other Marriott cards that you could consider
- Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card – Earn 30,000 Bonus Points after you spend $1,000 on purchases in the first 3 months from account opening. $0 annual fee. Read our full review here.
- Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card – Earn 3 Free Nights (up to 50,000 per night) after spending $3,000 on purchases in your first 3 months from account opening. $95 annual fee. Read our full review here.
- Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card – Earn 3 Free Night Awards after you use your new Card to make $6,000 in eligible purchases within the first 6 months of Card Membership. Each Free Night Award has a redemption level up to 50,000 Marriott Bonvoy® points. Certain hotels have resort fees. Terms apply. $125 annual fee (see rates and fees).
- Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card – Earn 185,000 Marriott Bonvoy bonus points after spending $6,000 in 6 months. $650 annual fee (see rates and fees)
Personally, I think that most people will get much more value out of the offer on the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy, at least during the first year. You can then cancel or downgrade the card after the first year if you don’t want to pay the annual fee again.
The Bottom Line
KEY LINK: Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express® Card – Earn 155,000 Marriott Bonvoy bonus points after spending $5,000 in 6 months. $250 annual fee (see rates and fees)
This is a solid offer. With the value of Marriott points at around 0.7 cents per point, this should be worth around $1000. Yes, it comes with a $250 annual fee but you should be able to get significantly more value than that the first year, and each year you also get a free night certificate which should help you manage the annual fee.
