What we have watched change
Differences between one check of the issuer's page and the next — not a reconstruction of the card's history. We only know what we were watching when it moved.

Three Free Night Awards after $3,000 in 3 months, each good at properties up to 50,000 points a night; encoded at that ceiling (150,000). Actual value depends on the hotel you pick.

Does the fee earn out? · how we got this
The printed statement credits ($100/yr) cover the $95 fee on paper — if you'd spend that way anyway. Credits you have to remember, enroll in, or change behavior for are worth less than face value. Our app tracks each one against your actual charges.

Who this card is not for
Every point below is a term the issuer prints, read off this card's own row in our database — not an opinion about the card. two things on this card rule out a kind of spender:
- Anyone who doesn't spend at Marriott. Its largest printed rate, 6x on hotels, pays only at Marriott. Anywhere else it earns its base 2x, so the headline number is a loyalty rate rather than a category rate — which is why no ranking on this site counts it.
- A heavy groceries spender. The 3x on groceries stops after $6,000 of it per year. Past that the same purchases earn its base 2x, so the headline rate describes the first $6,000 only.
