For a limited time, the new cardholder bonus on some of Marriott’s most premium credit cards, the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express® Card and Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card, are getting much bigger.

New cardholders who apply for either card between Feb. 29 and May 1, 2024, can earn the following welcome offers:

• Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express® Card: Earn 155,000 Marriott Bonvoy® points after spending $5,000 in eligible purchases on the card within the first six months of card membership. Terms apply.

• Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card: Earn 185,000 Marriott Bonvoy points after spending $6,000 in eligible purchases on the card within the first six months of card membership. Terms apply.

Both limited-time welcome offers are higher by at least 70,000 Marriott Bonvoy points compared to the standard offers.

NerdWallet values Marriott points at 0.8 cent each. This is a baseline value, drawn from real-world data, not a maximized value. In other words, you should aim for award redemptions that offer 0.8 cent or more in value from your Marriott points.

Given that valuation, the limited-time welcome offers on the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express® Card and Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card cards could be worth upward of $1,000 in hotel stays.
