Marriott Bonvoy Boundless by Chase: 6X Marriott, 2X everything. $95 annual fee. 125,000-point welcome bonus. Rates and credits verified from issuer pages.
The Marriott Bonvoy Boundless is Chase's mid-tier credit card. The $95/yr annual fee includes a 125,000-point welcome bonus after spending $3,000 in the first 3 months. Beyond the welcome bonus, here's what the card actually delivers.
| Credit | Value | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Airline credit (2026 only) | $100/semiannual | Up to $100 in statement credits through 12/31/2026 on purchases directly with airlines. $50 after $250+ spent Jan-Jun + $50 after $250+ spent Jul-Dec. Existing cardmembers (by 1/7/2026) must complete one-time activation. |
| DashPass membership | $120/yr | Complimentary DashPass membership for 12 months. Activate by 12/31/2027. |
| DoorDash non-restaurant promo | $40/qtr | $10 off discount each calendar quarter on one qualifying non-restaurant DoorDash order. Through 12/31/2027. |
| 35,000-point Anniversary Free Night Award | $245/yr | 35,000-point Marriott Bonvoy Free Night Award certificate issued each cardmember anniversary year. Redeemable at any Marriott property up to 35,000 points (typically Cat 4 properties — limited-service brands + many full-service). 35,000 pts × $0.007 cpp = $245 mid-tier face value. |
Welcome bonus value (year one): ~$1000. Annual statement credits: $505. Minus the $95 annual fee = ~$1410 in year-one net value before any spending earn.
Best fit: someone whose category spending matches the card's earn multipliers. Skip if: your spending pattern is flat across categories — a 2% flat-rate card would beat this.
125,000 points after spending $3,000 in the first 3 months. At our ~0.8¢/pt valuation, that's roughly $1000 in real value.
Year-one math: welcome bonus value (~$1000) + annual credits ($505) − $95 fee = ~$1410 net before spending earn. Year-two onward, the credits alone need to clear $95 — they do. Worth it if you'll use the credits, skip if you'd let them expire.
4 recurring statement credits: Airline credit (2026 only) ($100), DashPass membership ($120/yr), DoorDash non-restaurant promo ($40), 35,000-point Anniversary Free Night Award ($245/yr). Total: $505/yr.
