About this card
The Marriott Bonvoy Bevy American Express Card receives an overall rating of 2.3 out of 5.0. This assessment reflects a card with a few strengths, but ultimately held back by its high annual fee ($250), high APR, and a rewards structure that doesn't offer enough value compared to other travel cards. The generous Amex brand and potentially valuable sign-up bonus are positives, but the ongoing value proposition for long-term cardholders is weak. The $15,000 spending requirement to earn the free night award is a significant drawback. **Strengths:** * Generous sign-up bonus. * Decent rewards rate on Marriott hotel stays, dining, and U.S. supermarkets. * No foreign transaction fees. * Automatic Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status. * Strong issuer in American Express. **Weaknesses:** * High $250 annual fee. * High regular APR. * High annual spending requirement ($15,000) to earn a Free Night Award. * Confusing positioning within the Marriott card lineup.
