The Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card (see rates and fees) is Marriott’s entry-level personal cobranded credit card. This no-annual-fee product offers a way to earn Marriott Bonvoy points and gives cardholders a jump-start on achieving elite status. However, frequent Marriott guests are better off with a card that charges an annual fee and offers more perks. Card rating*: ⭐⭐½
As they say, you get what you pay for, and that’s true regarding credit cards, too. Consequently, the Bonvoy Bold sacrifices some earning potential and popular benefits to compensate for the lack of an annual fee compared to its higher-priced counterparts.
Still, this can be a great option for someone just getting into travel who wants to enjoy the benefits of Marriott Silver Elite status during hotel stays.
