Credits
No statement credits, this card wins on earn rates, not coupons.
Benefits
- ✦5 elite night credits per year
- ✦Automatic Silver Elite status
- ✦Up to $10 off quarterly on DoorDash non-restaurant orders with the card's DashPass membership
- ✦No foreign transaction fees on a no-fee card
Why it earns its spot
- +Keeps Bonvoy points from expiring at zero cost
- +A 45k bonus on a no-fee card is easy value
Where it costs you
- −No free night certificate, the Boundless perk that matters
- −Weak earn rates
- −Counts against Marriott card eligibility rules
The Compound Verdict
A parking spot, not a strategy. Take the bonus, keep it open to protect your points balance, and put your real spend elsewhere. If you stay at Marriott more than twice a year, the Boundless and its certificate beat this card outright.
