Marriott Card Bonuses Skyrocket to All-Time High Ahead of Expiration Deadline

The all-time high welcome bonuses for two Marriott credit cards are set to expire on May 13, 2026. The Marriott Bonvoy Bevy American Express Card offers 175,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 in purchases within the first six months of card membership, while the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card offers 200,000 bonus points after spending $6,000 in purchases within the same timeframe.

These offers are elevated from previous welcome bonuses and can provide relief for those struggling with summer vacation expenses due to high gas prices and airfare. It's also worth noting that Amex typically limits you to earning a welcome bonus once per card per lifetime, making it more advantageous to apply now while the intro bonus is elevated.

The Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card has a two-tiered welcome offer, with three Free Night Awards available after spending $6,000 in purchases and two additional Free Night Awards after spending an extra $3,000 in purchases. Each of these free nights is valid for up to 50,000 points, making this bonus potentially the most valuable.
