About this card

The Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card is a decent hotel rewards card, particularly suited for Marriott loyalists. Its strengths lie in the generous sign-up bonus, high rewards rate at Marriott hotels, and automatic Silver Elite status, along with perks like an annual free night award and 15 elite night credits. However, the high APR, limited rewards categories outside of Marriott, and the annual fee detract from its overall appeal. While the rewards can offset the annual fee for frequent Marriott guests, the card's value proposition is less compelling for those who don't prioritize Marriott stays. It's a good card, but it doesn't stand out as exceptional compared to other travel cards with more flexible rewards or lower fees.
