Today, Marriott ended the limited-time offer on the Boundless card and changed up the offer on the business card. The current best card offers on all Marriott cards are below. More on my take is below the offers, but in my reading, the Boundless and the Bold still offer the most value when considering the annual fee.

Even though the personal Marriott Amex cards are currently offering limited-time bonuses, none of these offers are terribly compelling in my analysis.
If you can use free night certificates to close to full value, the Boundless card is the best overall offer of the bunch when considering the annual fee, but honestly, unless you have a need for a Marriott card now, I’d wait until Chase decides to increase the offer on this card.
The Bevy and Brilliant cards feature points paired with a statement credit and a lower spending threshiold, which I like. But, honestly, if you’re getting a Marriott credit card, you probably can make good use of Marriott points. There are plenty of other ways to get cash from a sign-up bonus, so Amex and Marriott are kind of moving away from what makes the Marriott cards unique, which is a bit sad.
The Boundless and Bold cards still offer a high-enough return on spending to secure a place on my Best Offers page, but the newly-increased business card doesn’t make the cut.
