Marriot Rewards Credit Card
« on: May 18, 2011, 12:03:24 AM »
I got an email offer for a Marriot Rewards Credit Card- "22,500 bonus points after your first purchase on your card and 2 FREE night stays upon account approval — together that's enough for up to 5 free nights at a Category 1 hotel."

Forgive me, I'm new at this. Is anyone familiar with Marriot Rewards? Is this a good offer? Are Category 1 hotels good?

I searched this forum but didn't find anything...

I know next to nothing about the marriott program, but I do have links to use in case you want their card :)

i know a bit about the program...  i've been a plat for 12 years, plat prem for the last 6.  80-some nights so far this year.

i think the current best offer is 50K after 1st spend.  that's for the premiere card.  there are 2 marriott rewards cards from chase.  "signature" and "premiere".  The annual fee for the premiere is 65 vs 35 for the signature.  But's a MUCH better card if you stay at marriotts. more bonus points at start, 5 points per dollar vs. 3, 15 nights credit annually vs. 5 or 10; free night at approval and a free night every year.  Actually chase has 3 cards, the third is a business card.  FULL details on the cards are on marriott's website: http://www.marriott.com/rewards/earn-points/credit-card-rewards.mi

https://applynowdc2.chase.com/FlexAppWeb/renderApp.do?SPID=CQJC is link to the 50K signup.  Got it from an FT thread...

marriott's categories start at 1 and go to 7 or 8.  1 is the cheap end - think fairfield in a small town.  generally speaking the "rank" is: fairfield, courtyard, residence inn, springhill suites, rennaissance, marriott, jw marriott, the resorts (i'm forgetting some, a couple of the suites places).  the category is a blend of the "ranking" and the location, e.g. a NYC courtyard is more expensive/higher category than a middle of nowhere full-service marriott.  on marriott's website is a listing of all their properties and what category they are.

Yay for resurrecting an old thread!  I couldn't find much conversation about the Marriott cards.  I am wondering if people have had success getting the signup bonus for both the Marriott and Marriott Premier cards at the same time?
