Amex Bonvoy Playing cards: 15 Elite Qualifying Nights + Anniversary Free Evening Award

By way of the playing cards’ incomes charges, you’ll earn the next:

• 5 factors per greenback spent at Marriott motels
• Bonvoy Enterprise Card solely: 3 factors per greenback spent on gasoline, eating, and journey
• 2 factors per greenback spent on all different purchases

Personally, I have a tendency to make use of my Bonvoy playing cards purely for spending at Canadian Marriott motels, because the 5x earnings are unbeatable there. Nevertheless, I’d prioritize different playing cards with larger incomes charges for my basic purchases.

(Marriott motels outdoors of Canada are additionally not excellent, because of the cardboard’s 2.5% overseas transaction payment. I desire to make use of my US-issued Bonvoy playing cards for my overseas resort payments, the place I don’t get dinged on the FX payment.)

Each the non-public and enterprise Marriott Bonvoy playing cards supply 15 elite qualifying nights in the direction of your Marriott Bonvoy standing yearly.

Sadly, the 2 units of 15 elite qualifying nights can’t be stacked into 30 – that’s solely doable with the US-issued private and enterprise playing cards, not the Canadian ones.

In the event you maintain the next mixture of Marriott Bonvoy co-branded bank cards…
Canadian private + Canadian enterprise	15 elite qualifying nights
Canadian private + US private	15 elite qualifying nights
Canadian private + US enterprise	15 elite qualifying nights
Canadian enterprise + US private	15 elite qualifying nights
Canadian enterprise + US enterprise	15 elite qualifying nights
US private + US enterprise	30 elite qualifying nights

For my part, essentially the most significant perk on the Bonvoy playing cards is the anniversary Free Evening Award, which you’ll earn upon renewing the playing cards for a second yr.

These are value as much as 35,000 Bonvoy factors every, so a wise redemption right here would simply outweigh the playing cards’ $120 and $150 annual charges.
