Read November 6, 2026 on Chase's Marriott Bonvoy Boundless page and in Marriott Bonvoy's program terms. We priced the hotel on marriott.com the same morning. Offers and award prices are as of November 6, 2026.
Chase's Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card is showing 200,000 bonus points this week. That's enough for five nights at The Westin Cancun Resort & Spa in March, with points left over. The trick is a Marriott rule: book five award nights in one reservation, and one of them is free.
The card also pays back up to $100 on airline tickets. Here's how the pieces fit.
TL;DR
- The offer: 200,000 Marriott Bonvoy points after you spend $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months. Chase's page says "This week only" and doesn't show an end date. The annual fee is $95.
- The free night: Marriott's "Stay 5, Pay 4" rule. Book five nights with points in one reservation, and the cheapest night is free.
- Our example: The Westin Cancun Resort & Spa, March 8 to 13, 2027. Five nights cost 243,000 points. With the free night, it's 194,400 points. That leaves 5,600 points from the bonus.
- The flights: new cardmembers also get up to $100 back on airline tickets, as two $50 credits with their own spending windows (details below).
The offer, in Chase's words
Chase's page says: "This week only: Earn 200,000 Bonus Points after spending $3,000 on eligible purchases within 3 months of account opening with the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card."
A banner above it reads "OFFER ENDING SOON." Chase doesn't print the end date. If you want this offer, apply while Chase's page still shows it.
The offer we had on file before this one was 3 Free Night Awards, each good at hotels up to 50,000 points a night (here's what a certificate is actually worth). Points are more flexible than certificates: you pick the hotel, the dates and how many nights.
At our value of 0.77 cents per Marriott point, 200,000 points are worth about $1,540.
How 200,000 points becomes five nights
Marriott's redemption page puts the rule in one line: "Stay 5, Pay 4. Receive a complimentary night when you redeem for five consecutive nights."
The program terms add the details:
- It works on a Standard Redemption Award or a PointSavers Award, booked as five nights in one reservation.
- "The free night offer applies to the night with the lowest Point redemption rate within the same Award Redemption Stay."
- "Stay for 5, Pay for 4 Offer cannot be applied to a stay comprised of multiple reservations with consecutive nights."
So book all five nights in one reservation. If the price changes from night to night, the cheapest night is the free one.
We searched marriott.com with points for The Westin Cancun Resort & Spa, Monday, March 8 to Saturday, March 13, 2027, one room for two guests. A Deluxe Guest room with one king bed, a lagoon view and a balcony came back at a PointSavers rate: "was 243,000" points, now 194,400 points for the stay. That's 48,600 points a night. You pay for four nights, and the fifth is free.
The bonus covers that stay with 5,600 points to spare.
Award prices move with demand. These are the prices we saw on November 6. Check your own dates before you count on them.
Where the $100 for flights comes in
The card has a second offer, separate from the bonus. For new cardmembers, Chase's terms say:
- "New cardmembers who apply between 6/4/2026 and 12/31/2026 will be automatically registered for this offer upon card activation."
- A $50 statement credit when you spend $250 or more on eligible purchases made directly with airlines from June 4, 2026 through December 31, 2026.
- A second $50 statement credit when you spend another $250 or more directly with airlines from January 1, 2027 through June 30, 2027.
For a March trip, that splits neatly. Buy one ticket directly from the airline by December 31, 2026, and the other on or after January 1, 2027. Each purchase needs to be $250 or more to unlock its $50. Chase says to allow 6 to 8 weeks for each credit to show up.
The catches
- Who can't get it. Chase's terms say the card "is not available to you if (1) you currently have any of the following cards or (2) you received a new cardmember bonus for any of the following cards within the last 24 months: Marriott Bonvoy® Premier credit card, Marriott Rewards® Premier credit card, Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® credit card, Marriott Rewards® Premier Plus credit card, Marriott Bonvoy Bold® credit card." The terms also cover Marriott's American Express cards, including anyone approved for the Marriott Bonvoy Business, Brilliant or Bevy card in the last 90 days, or who got a bonus on one in the last 24 months. Read the full list on Chase's page before you apply. Our Marriott Bonvoy guide compares all the Marriott cards.
- The spend and the wait. You need $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months. Chase says, "After qualifying, please allow 6 to 8 weeks for bonus to post to your Marriott Bonvoy® account." You can't book with points until they post.
- The five-night rule. Five nights, one reservation, a Standard or PointSavers award. Two separate bookings don't get the free night.
- Prices move. 194,400 points was the price for those dates on November 6, 2026.
- The $95 annual fee comes back every year. The card also gives a Free Night Award every year after your account anniversary, good at hotels up to 35,000 points a night.
Check the offer before you click a referral link
If a friend sends you a Chase referral link for this card, look at the offer on the page before you apply. On November 6, Chase's referral page for the Boundless still showed 3 Free Night Awards, not 200,000 points.
How to do it
- Check the eligibility list in Chase's terms.
- Apply on Chase's own Boundless page while it shows 200,000 points. You can compare the card on our Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card page.
- Spend $3,000 on purchases in the first 3 months.
- Buy one airline ticket directly from the airline for $250 or more by December 31, 2026, and another on or after January 1, 2027.
- When the points post, search marriott.com with "Use Points/Awards" and book all five nights in one reservation.
