Earning up to 300,000 Marriott Bonvoy points for two people is possible with the current welcome offers, and these points have a value that can represent more than $2,800 in hotel stays.
For example, each person applies for the Marriott Bonvoy® American Express®* Card. Its welcome offer provides 70,000 points by meeting the required spending on the card within the first 3 months after enrollment. For two people, this will allow you to earn 140,000 points.
Then, by adding its counterpart, the Marriott Bonvoy® Business American Express®* Card, you accumulate 80,000 points per person! In addition, each card provides upon annual renewal a free night per year, worth 35,000 points or less.
