Summary

The Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card is a no-annual-fee credit card that offers a way to earn Marriott Bonvoy points and gives cardholders a jump-start on achieving elite status. The card earns 3 points per dollar spent on eligible purchases at hotels participating in the Marriott Bonvoy program, 2 points per dollar spent at grocery stores and on cable, internet, phone, ride-hailing, and select food delivery and streaming services, and 1 point per dollar spent on all other purchases. The card also comes with automatic Silver Elite status, five elite night credits per year, and various travel and shopping protections.


Our Reading

The escape is carefully planned. The Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card promises a break from annual fees, but sacrifices some earning potential and popular benefits. The card’s earning rates don’t compare favorably to other Marriott Bonvoy credit cards, and the transfer options are limited. However, the card’s automatic Silver Elite status and five elite night credits per year make it a decent option for beginners. The card’s travel and shopping protections are also a plus. “You get what you pay for, and that’s true regarding credit cards, too.”
