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...

I dropped platinum when they removed the free guests at centurion lounges.... because at that point unless you're a solo traveler it's just a really expensive coupon book.

CSR at least still gets you free food (and food for a guest) at a couple dozen airport bars/restaurants in addition to the normal priority pass+2 guest benefit.... and the travel credit is FAR FAR easier to value at 100% compared to the Amex airline incidentals one.

Plus CSR=Free primary car rental insurance, amex still charges like 25 bucks per rental or something for that.
Makes sense. That's why I was leaning towards the RC instead of the Reserve. From my understanding, you still get the priority pass w/ restaurants and primary car rental insurance.. but with a lower effective cost compared to the Reserve.

I was looking at the platinum to get the sub, but I likely won't hold on to the card long term.

Quote from ktkn View quoted comment :
Lots of good info... just to add for those that want both the Ritz Carlton and the Brilliant. You must apply for the Brillant BEFORE you upgrade to the Ritz Carlton. Once you get the Ritz Carlton, AMEX won't approve you for the Brillant so make sure you do the Brilliant before the Ritz Carlton.

For those that are wondering, other than the 85K night certificate, each card is good for different things. Ritz Carlton is good for lounge access for yourself and family/friends and Brilliant is good for Platinum Status. If you don't value either of those things, it may not be worth it.

The way I travel, having at least two 85K certificates would be ideal... 1 doesn't do me much good. I don't tend to do 1 night stays and I really really want to avoid switching hotels. Unless it's a special location positioning strategy, but usually 1 night doesn't allow you to enjoy the hotel or "settle down." With that said, the super high value everybody attributes to these 85K certificates do not apply to me. I'm not going to stay there for 1 night and switch to a cheaper hotel for the rest of the trip. I'm also not going to use the certificate for some super expesnive hotel and then pay cash for the rest of the nights... However with all that said, I still get at least $350-$500 or more for the certifcate so it's still good...

Thanks for the tips! You make a good point for holding both RC and Amex Brilliant, thats the route my friend is going. I'll probably re-evaluate after a year and see how I feel.

Be careful. Lots of spotty availability, double beds instead of queen beds, parking and resort charges, wow. This looks like a good deal and if you don't travel with kids, it might be. But holy smokes, the fees are eye opening. $8 to park at a Fairfield??? Nope.

Have you ever stayed at a Marriott? Most properties are under 50k points.

Check availability.

Anyone know how long this promo will last for? My guess is around 4 weeks, similar to the CSP/CSR 90Ks, but I'd love some input.

Would be interested in this info as well. Ideally, I'd want to time it to get it as late as possible to extend the expiration.

You don't know what you're talking about. How about you try traveling outside the country. I don't travel inside the U.S. boring. I travel internationally only, and they are advertised as 5-stars and priced at more than double if not triple real 5-star hotels, luring uninformed Americans with a recognizable name. What a joke.
I travel for work and I do travel outside of the U.S., too. I have stated facts and shared my experience with Marriott brand hotels.

Marriot being 3-start hotel at over $290+ a night? lol no. Please go to map.google.com and check the ratings. Singapore is a great start. Then make your way to Colombia a fantastic example is Marriot any of them, to Hotel Spiwak in Colombia. I rest my case. Marriot is a 5-star hotel, and charges like a 5-star hotel. $300/night vs a real 5-star at $100/night lol insane.
I have discovered your problem! You are staying at Marriot instead of Marriott. Are you also buying Hucci instead of Gucci? Nada instead of Prada?

I think that depends on a few factors including how much cash-equivalent value you can get out of their respective credits and if you an active collector/user of Chase UR points...

Both CAN be profitable above their annual fees just by getting good enough use/value out of their respective credits and benefits.

But the big one to me that makes "RC can be profitable but takes a fair bit of work and not in any way that's indispensable" while CSR is "must have it no brainer" is the fact that to get max value out of Chase UR points you must hold a paid chase card- and the CSR is a no brainer at that point.

If you don't use UR then not so much.

Does anyone have both one of the Chase cards and a business card? That combo is the only one that allows the cardholder to get both annual elite night credits.
