Chase is once again offering five free night certificates that can be used on properties costing up to 50,000 points per night when you spend $5,000 within the first three months of account opening on the Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card.

They ran this promo back in May and I missed the offer. I believe this is the one of the best, if not the best bonus offer for this specific card.

They expire 12 months from the time you get the free nights. I got them in my account from last bonus on 8/4/23 and they expire 8/4/24
recommend looking places you want to go first, then decide if the card is right for you.

It's hard to get a room at a decent property domestically for 50k. Handful of real options.
wow.. how many points do you guys have to think that 50K night certificates are hard to redeem... Five 50K certificates is hands down better than 100K points... I'm having a hard time figuring out why 100K pts would be better unless you ONLY stay at Ritz Carltons or All Inclusives for 1 night.

A typical free night certificate from most credit cards is only 35K pts/night. 50K/night certificates, and they give you five is pretty amazing...

Is this worth getting if the only plan is to do it for the bonus and then cancel the card? I just completed the Chase Sapphire 90k deal, does it hurt your credit to keep doing these?

Want to know this as well

I just briefly looked at SF and I brought up the flexible 4 night calendar in October. There seems to be availability at a few hotels, although not sure if it's in your desired area. However, with a 50K cert, you can't expect Ritz Carltons either... yes, that is a limitation.. Ritz Carlton and St. Regis are an exception and not the rule...

I did a 4 night because a 5 night would skew the amount of points needed (as the 5th night would be free on points) as it displays the total points needed per the entire trip, and not per night..

I also looked at Vancouver (in Vancouver now as we speak) and downtown Vancouver hotels are very expensive, at least the nicer ones.. but even then there may be availability just by briefly looking at it. I'm looking at anything around 200-260K pts for 4 nights. Of course, not every night maybe available but if it's under 260K pts (65x4) then there is a good shot you'll be able to find some availability...
Don't count out all Ritzes or St.s. off season, it's definitely possible. Got a 30,000 points rate at the Doha Ritz

Great for sign on but after that 25K points for yearly bonus which barely gets you a Motel 6 type hotel at this point unless you top it off for major $$$.
You are incorrect. The Anniversary certificate is for 35k points. 35k points gets some decent properties. I have been able to use them in the summer in areas by the beaches in Rhode Island so for me the $95 fee is worth what I get out of it. The hotels I use them on typically cost between $250 and $350 per night.

Interesting so my regular Bonvoy is 25K. Guess I should ditch it and go for this one.

In my experience anyone can check in. I usually call and add the person to the reservation so they can check in easily, but it's never been a problem in general for me and I've done it for Marriott, IHG and Hyatt a lot.

From the research I've been doing, short term it will because it's a hard hit on your credit card. But as long as you pay everything off it won't hurt much if at all in the long run. Some articles I read said to keep it to 2 hard hits, I.e taking out a new line of credit, every two years.

Applying will be a soft hit, which typically falls off your credit score in several months. Getting approved and opening the card should be a hard hit, which will also temporarily lower your credit, but take longer to "fall off" because you're also negatively impacting your score by lowering the average age of all your credit cards since you just added a new one. However, you will have more available credit total, which should positively impact your score. TL;DR: it really depends on your current credit history, but it shouldn't impact it in the long run. Unless you are planning to get a new car or house and need financing in the next 6 months, it shouldn't be an issue.

If you don't want to cancel the card, you can call customer service and see if they will downgrade you to a free card with no annual fee. I've done this often, but then I never use the card again after getting the bonus, so usually, the bank cancels it for me and closes the account after about a year due to inactivity. So I'm not really sure if it's worth doing since the impact to credit score seems to be a wash.

For the record, I've churned at least a dozen cards in the past 10 years, pay off everything in full on time, and my credit is at 820 and increasing.

im a big marriott guy. using points has been easy. 50k is a lot for one night. my only concern is that this might indicate that the point cost of their rewards night are going to increase a lot.
Yeah they do this almost every few years!

With these 5 cents, can one use 4 nights and get the 5th free, thus saving 1 (50k) night certificate?
