Chase opened a one-week window on the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card, offering 200K bonus points after $3K of purchases in the first three months, plus up to $100 in airline statement credits, for applications through Nov. 11, 2026.
The points total is the largest the card has carried. Frequent Miler calls it the highest points total ever seen on the Boundless and pegs first-year value above $1.3K against a $95 annual fee. The offer fits a pattern in Chase's co-branded card offers.
Earlier versions of the offer included five free-night certificates worth up to 250K points, with less flexibility because each certificate expires in 12 months and caps out per night. Chase's hotel card lineup has been overhauled before.
The airline credit pays $50 after $250 spent directly with airlines through Dec. 31, 2026, and another $50 for spending from Jan. 1 through June 30, 2027.
What 200K points buys
Marriott prices awards dynamically, so the value swings by property and date.
Five nights at Le Méridien Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort in March 2027 ran 164K points, against a cash rate of ~$1.4K, at rates found Nov. 4, 2026.
A three-night stay at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa next December came to 178K points, versus a $1.17K cash price, before a $56 nightly resort fee.
The Welcome Bonus Covers Either Sample Trip
Marriott Bonvoy points, award rates as of Nov. 4, 2026
Bar chart. Points. Welcome Bonus: Marriott Bonvoy Points 200K. Phuket (5 nights): Marriott Bonvoy Points 164K. San Antonio (3 nights): Marriott Bonvoy Points 178K.
Marriott's Stay for 5, Pay for 4 benefit makes the cheapest night free on any five-night award, so longer trips stretch the balance further.
The keep-the-card math
Every account anniversary brings a free night award, good at a property costing up to 35K points, and members can top it up with up to 25K points for a pricier hotel.
Cardholders also get 15 elite night credits each calendar year and automatic Silver Elite status, which adds a 10% points bonus on stays. The credits leave cardholders 10 nights short of Gold Elite, which requires 25 nights.
The card earns 6x at participating Marriott hotels, 3x on gas, groceries, and dining on the first $6K of combined spending each year, and 2x everywhere else.
Eligibility is the gate. Chase's 5/24 rule applies, so applicants who opened five or more cards at any bank in the past 24 months are unlikely to be approved.
Current or former holders of the Boundless, Bonvoy Premier, or Bonvoy Bold cards are blocked if they took a welcome bonus in the last 24 months.
Amex Marriott cardholders face their own limits, including a 30-day bar tied to the consumer Bonvoy card and a 90-day bar after approval for the Business or Brilliant versions.
The offer closes Wednesday, and the next version may swap points back for certificates that fit fewer trips.
The $95 fee isn't waived in year one, so the bonus has to clear that before anything else counts.
