- ✦Free Night award after $15k annual spend
Why it earns its spot
- +Strongest everyday earn rates in the Marriott lineup
- +Gold status without a $650 Amex Brilliant fee
Where it costs you
- −No automatic anniversary free night at $250, the Boundless gets one at $95
- −Marriott points are weak per-point
- −Gold Elite delivers little at most properties
The Compound Verdict
The awkward middle child. The earn rates and Gold status sound nice, but a $250 fee with no guaranteed free night loses to the Boundless for most people. Grab it on a big bonus if you value the points, then reassess at renewal.
