We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Update: One or more card offers in this post are no longer available. Check our Hot Deals for the latest offers.

    Through April 24, 2019, the Marriott Bonvoy Business™ American Express® Card has an increased 100,000 Marriott point bonus you can earn after spending $5,000 on purchases within the first 3 months of account opening.

    But if you’re considering applying for this card, you’ll want to do it before March 28, 2019.  That’s when the annual fee will be increasing from $95 to $125 (see Rates and Fees).  Not only that but if you apply before March 28, 2019, the fee is waived for the first year – after that, it’s not.  So by getting your application in no later than March 27, 2019 you can avoid $125 the first year!

    If you qualify now is the best time to apply for the AMEX Marriott Bonvoy Business card

    AMEX Marriott Bonvoy Business Card Annual Fee Increase

    If you apply for the AMEX Marriott Bonvoy Business card before March 28, 2019, you’ll not only get the annual fee waived the first year, you’ll also only pay a $95 annual fee for the second year.  But the $125 annual fee will kick in on year #3.  That’s an easy $155 in savings ($125 in year #1 + $30 year #2).

    Before you apply, make sure that you can qualify for this offer.  During the application, AMEX will have a pop-up window that will tell you if you’re ineligible to earn the bonus based on a variety of factors.

    But you definitely aren’t eligible for the welcome bonus if you:

    If you currently have the AMEX Marriott Bonvoy Business card, the annual fee will increase to $125 on your next card renewal after March 28, 2019.
