  • 5x points at Marriott
  • 2x points at airline tickets purchased directly with the airline, and at car rental agencies, restaurants, office supply stores, and for Internet, cable and phone services purchases
  • 1x points on all other purchases
• 15 credits towards Elite membership after approval and every year after account anniversary
• 1 elite credit for every $3,000 spent
• Annual anniversary bonus of a free night certificate for a category 1-5 property

Our Verdict

It’s still possible to get the 80,000 point offer, although this doesn’t have the $99 annual fee waived the first year (also still available on personal card). I think you’d have to be crazy to value Marriott points at near to 1¢ per point. That being said, I still don’t think you should apply for this 70k offer and here’s why: they often have an even better bonus. In the past you could get 70,000 Points for only $2,000 in spend and also in the first year you got a free category 1-4 night stay. I’d recommend waiting for that offer instead.
