Notes

2026 change: a limited-time airline statement credit (up to $100; $50 per six-month window on $250+ spent directly with airlines) was announced for 2026 for existing cardmembers (Upgraded Points 2026-01-08; activation required for anyone who was a cardmember by 1/7/2026) and extended to new applicants approved 6/4/2026-12/31/2026 with windows running through 6/30/2027 (Chase page, Doctor of Credit, AwardWallet 2026-08-06). The airline credit is NOT offered on the Bold or Bountiful (Chase's Marriott comparison page shows it only under Boundless). Welcome offer as of 2026-06/08 is 4 Free Night Awards; the earlier 125,000 points + 1 Free Night Award offer is gone. Anniversary Free Night Award is up to 35,000 points per Chase's card page, marriott.chase.com/boundless/benefits and One Mile at a Time; US Credit Card Guide's summary says 50,000, which matches the sign-up-bonus certificates rather than the anniversary award, so 35,000 is used. Trip cancellation/interruption is not listed on Chase's benefits page. Points do not expire as long as you make a purchase on the card at least every 24 months. APR 19.24%-29.99% variable (Chase). Chase 5/24 applies. Bonus restrictions (Chase): not available if you currently hold, or received a new-cardmember bonus in the last 24 months on, the specified Chase Marriott cards; also blocked if in the last 30 days you held the Marriott Bonvoy Amex, in the last 90 days were approved for the Marriott Bonvoy Business/Brilliant/Bevy Amex, or in the last 24 months received a new-cardmember or upgrade bonus on those Amex cards. Elite Night Credits post from only one Marriott personal card even if you hold several.
