Paid as certificates rather than points. Each certificate has a points ceiling, so the real value depends on where you can use them.
Offers vary. Welcome offers on this card can differ by applicant, by referral and by the link you apply through. The figure above is what our source showed on the date given, not a guarantee of what you will be offered.
Earning rates
Not verified. We could not confirm this card's earning rates against a page we could read during this build, so none are listed. We would rather leave this blank than print a number we have not checked. The issuer's own product page has the current rates.
Benefits and credits
- Annual Free Night Award Marriott's $95 card has historically included an anniversary free night certificate. Confirm the current points ceiling on the product page.
Restrictions worth knowing
- Chase 5/24 applies.
- Marriott cross-issuer application rules apply.
- Free night certificates expire and are capped by points value. A certificate you cannot use is worth nothing.
How to use it well
- Before applying, check that properties you would realistically book sit under the certificate's points ceiling. That single check decides whether this card is worth holding.
- The anniversary certificate normally covers the $95 fee on its own if you use it.
