Earlier this year, Marriott finally rebranded its loyalty program by taking what had been disparate pieces up to that point — Marriott Rewards, Starwood Preferred Guest, and Ritz-Carlton Rewards programs — and brought them all together under one much simpler banner. That rebrand now presents a single loyalty program that’s available for millions of customers to take advantage of, across thousands of hotels.

Today, we’re going to present a guide that offers everything you need to know about one of the rewards credit cards under Marriott’s new combined “Bonvoy” branding — specifically, the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card. This particular card happens to be one of two entry-level credit cards still available in the wake of Marriott launching new cards and closing some old favorites to new applicants after totally revamping its co-branded card portfolio with the launch of the Bonvoy loyalty program. Read on for everything you need to know, like who this card is for and the perks it includes — in addition to an offer of 75,000 Marriott bonus points when you sign up for the card.
