Chase Marriott Bonvoy Cards Offering Increased Sign-Up Bonuses
The Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless and Bonvoy Bold cards are offering increased sign-up bonus promotions.
If you want or need Marriott points, or want to add a Marriott card to your card arsenal, this is a decent opportunity. Keep in mind the Marriott credit card application restrictions, though...we cover them below.
Chase Marriott Cards
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Card
Earn 100,000 Marriott Bonvoy points after spending $3,000 within the first 3 months from card approval. And earn a $150 statement credit after making your first purchase in your first 12 months from account opening.
The $95 annual fee is not waived the first year and will be billed on the first statement after application approval.
Some of the card's benefits include:
Earn 6x Marriott points per dollar at Marriott properties

Important Application Information
These are Chase cards, meaning they're subject to Chase's 5/24 approval restrictions. If you've been approved for 5 or more credit cards from any bank in the last 24 months, you will not be approved for this, or any, Chase credit card.
Additionally, due to both Chase and American Express offering Marriott credit cards, significant other restrictions apply for getting approved for the card, as well as being eligible for the sign-up bonus. I'll copy and paste those restrictions from the Chase Offer Terms.
This credit card is not available to you if (1) you currently have any of the following cards or (2) you received a new cardmember bonus for any of the following cards within the last 24 months: Marriott Bonvoy® Premier credit card, Marriott Rewards® Premier credit card, Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® credit card, Marriott Rewards® Premier Plus credit card, Marriott Bonvoy Bold® credit card.
The new cardmember bonus is not available to you if (1) you currently have or had any of the following cards within the last 30 days: Marriott Bonvoy® American Express® Card, The Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card from American Express; or if (2) you applied and were approved for any of the following cards within the last 90 days or (3) received a new cardmember bonus or upgrade bonus for any of the following cards within the last 24 months: Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card, Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Credit Card from American Express, Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card, Starwood Preferred Guest® American Express Luxury Card, Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express® Card.
As you can see, both Chase and American Express issue Marriott credit cards, and the rules as to sign-up bonus and card eligibility can get confusing.
If you've never held a Marriott credit card, it's not an issue.
If you have had any other Marriott credit card, read the above restrictions carefully so you don't make an application for nothing.
While 100,000 points (or 60,000) may sound good, you have to consider Marriott's award pricing and exactly what 100,000 points will get you. If you're not familiar with Marriott's award structure, do a few searches for Marriott properties you might be interested in to see what award pricing looks like. Make sure to "check" the "Use Points/Awards" box when searching.
The Boundless card - and potentially the Bold - does have value, especially if you're looking for a way to add to your Marriott Bonvoy balance. The $150 statement credit on the Boundless and the 1 Free Night on the Bold's sign-up bonus do add additional value that may help move the needle on applying or not.
Just be aware of Marriott's award program and redemption options, as well as Chase's significant restrictions for getting these cards and their sign-up bonuses, before making an application.
No end date is noted for these increased offers at this point.
