Update 7/9/25: This increased welcome offer is due to end on July 16. It’s not clear if that’s at the end of the day on Wednesday or earlier, so it might be worth applying by the night of July 15 if you’re interested. This offer no longer appears to be available via referrals though.

The Chase Marriott Bonvoy Bold card is back again with its top welcome offer of 60,000 points and a 50k free night certificate after $2K spend. Given the minimum spend required, this is a very good offer, much better than the previous one of 30k points with no free night certificate.

Quick Thoughts
This new offer on the no-annual fee Bold card is actually pretty good. A year or two ago, we saw one that awarded up to 100K points, but required you to stay in Marriott hotels for six nights in order to get half of the points. This version is arguably better with a maximum value of 110K in points…and it has no stay requirement. The 50K free night certificate should get you at least $300 in value domestically if you’re able to use it wisely and 60,000 points are worth ~$420 according to our reasonable redemption values. ~$720 in expected return on $2,000 in spend is excellent.
With the new welcome offer, it might be the ideal time to get the Bold in order to use it as a means to upgrade to the Ritz-Carlton Visa Infinite card down the road. Those who want the Ritz card will need to wait a year from opening one of the Chase Marriott cards to request a product change, but (so far) it’s still possible to do it.
