Amex Ties New Premium Card to Marriott; Chase Transfer Bonus Hits 70%

A new premium business card from American Express may be on its way, tied to Marriott Bonvoy. The speculation follows a trademark filing covering payment services related to Marriott. Those familiar with the landscape know that such filings often precede the launch of new credit cards.

Meanwhile, Chase is offering a limited-time promotion: 100,000 Ultimate Rewards points on select Ink cards. Hilton's Aspire Card also features a 200,000-point bonus, but both promotions expire soon and come with eligibility restrictions.

The transfer bonus from Chase to Marriott currently stands at 70%, though the value of Marriott points can be lower than those from Chase due to their less flexible redemption options.
