Earn up to 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy Points with these American Express offers!

Marriott Bonvoy credit cards are the best credit cards in Canada for travellers.

With these cards, you earn Marriott Bonvoy points and benefits for your stays at the group’s 8,000+ hotels worldwide (and over 250 in Canada).

With these new limited-time welcome offers, you could earn:

• Up to 50,000 points with the Marriott Bonvoy^MD American Express^MD* Card.
• Up to 60,000 points with the Marriott Bonvoy^MD Business American Express^®* Card Express^MD*.

And if you’re wondering: yes, you can apply for both credit cards and get both welcome bonuses (if you meet the requirements).

Both Marriott Bonvoy credit cards share common benefits:

• 2 points per dollar on all your purchases
• 5 points per dollar on purchases made at Marriott Bonvoy properties
• 15 Elite nights per year, counting towards your Marriott Bonvoy Elite status
• Receive an Annual Free Night Award after your Card anniversary each year (a 35,000 points value)
• Complimentary Marriott Bonvoy Silver Elite status
• Insurance for travel and your purchases

The version for the self-employed, professionals or small business owners, the Marriott Bonvoy^® Business American Express^®* Card, sets itself apart by earning 3 points per dollar for:

• Gas
• Dining purchases
• travel purchases

I hold both of these credit cards myself and keep them year after year so that I can benefit from the Annual Free Night Award which easily offsets the cost of the annual fee.

Marriott Bonvoy points allow you to stay in one of the group’s 8,000 hotels in over 130 countries! And there are options for all budgets!

If you don’t want to use your Marriott Bonvoy points for free hotel nights, you can transfer them to one of the many airline partner programs.

For example, you can transfer 60,000 Marriott Bonvoy points into 25,000 Aeroplan points! That’s enough to buy one round-trip flight to many North America destinations.

Marriott Bonvoy points do not expire as long as you maintain activity in the Marriott Bonvoy account within 24 months. An activity can be:

• Purchases with Marriott Bonvoy credit cards
• Points transfer from one account to another
• Redeeming points for a free hotel night
• Earning points with a stay
• etc.

You can transfer up to 100,000 Marriott Bonvoy points for free from one account to another each year. If you are a couple or travelling with a buddy, it is very worthwhile for each of you to apply for these Marriott Bonvoy credit cards.

You can then transfer your points to the account of the member who will make the reservation for free hotel nights. Why is this relevant? For several reasons:

• Top up a points balance already available on one of the Marriott Bonvoy accounts
• Get the benefit of the 5th night free for 4 nights booked with points
• Enjoy the perks of the highest Elite status on the other Marriott Bonvoy account
• Gift points to a Marriott Bonvoy member if you are not part of the trip (useful for parents / children / students)

For example, two spouses or friends could earn over 400,000 points by each signing up for two Marriott Bonvoy credit cards and meeting the conditions for full welcome bonuses! You can get many free hotel nights and lighten your travel budget!

Both of these credit cards are perfect if you want to earn Marriott Bonvoy points for free hotel nights.
