Marriott Bonvoy Cards Offer Elevated Welcome Offers with Statement Credits

Two Marriott Bonvoy credit cards have introduced elevated welcome offers through September 30, 2026. The Marrriott Bonvoy Brilliant and Marrriott Bonvoy Bevy American Express cards now offer bonus points paired with statement credits. The spending requirement for the Brilliant card is $1,000 a month for six months, while the Bevy card has a lower bar to clear.

The Brilliant card comes with Platinum Elite status, an annual Free Night Award up to 85,000 points, and Priority Pass membership. However, its $650 annual fee may be a barrier for some users. The Bevy card offers Gold Elite status, but no automatic annual Free Night Award in the first year.

American Express will check eligibility before processing an application, allowing potential applicants to withdraw if they're not eligible. The offers are only available to those who have not held certain Ritz-Carlton or legacy Starwood cards in the last 30 days and have not received a new cardmember bonus on a Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful, Boundless, or Bold card from Chase in the last 24 months.
