Marriott Points Introduction

• Marriott Points are the most flexible type of points (inheriting a large number of airline partners after Marriott merged with SPG).
• Credit cards that allow you to earn Marriott points include: Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless , Chase Marriott Bonvoy Bold , AmEx Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant , AmEx Marriott Bonvoy Business , and cards that are no longer available for application but can still be obtained through card transfer: Chase Ritz-Carlton and AmEx Marriott Bonvoy .
• Marriott Points are stored in your Marriott account, not on your card, so completing levels will not result in the loss of points.
• Marriott Points will expire if there are no inflows or outflows in your Marriott account within 24 months. Earning or redeeming points through spending, hotel stays, or other activities during this period will extend the expiration date.
• Marriott points can be converted into a significant number of airline miles (no Marriott credit card required), with a conversion rate of 3:1.25 (i.e., a 3:1 conversion, plus an additional 5,000 miles for every 60,000 Marriott points converted). Recommended airlines include: Alaska Airlines (AS) (non-alliance), Japan Airlines (JL) (Oneworld), United Airlines (UA) (Star Alliance), American Airlines (AA) (Oneworld), All Nippon Airways (ANA, NH) (Star Alliance), Korean Air (KE) (SkyTeam), etc. Using these airlines in this way, Marriott points are worth approximately 0.7 cents per point.
• Marriott points can also be redeemed at its own hotels (including hotels under the Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, and SPG brands). See the Marriott redemption table for the points required for hotel redemptions . Generally, redeeming hotels in the lowest category is the most cost-effective (more common in China, less so in the US). Using points this way, the Marriott points are worth approximately 0.7 cents per point.
• In summary, our overall valuation of Marriott is approximately 0.7 cents/point.

Summarize

The sign-up bonus for this card is pretty good. Whether it's worth the annual fee depends mainly on whether the 35k points limit for Free Numbers (FNs) can cover the cost. 35k FNs plus points can be redeemed for up to 50k hotel nights. Although Marriott hotel redemption is currently dynamic, it's still relatively easy to achieve a $95 value after redeeming 35k FNs.
