    Great news for folks who are looking to stock up on Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, or Starwood points!

    Via The Frequent Miler, with the Marriott Rewards Premier card, you can earn up to 120,000 Marriott points after meeting minimum spending requirements within the first year of account opening.

    This is not a sign-up bonus like we are used to seeing.  And I’ll explain why.

    The information for this offer has been collected independently by Million Mile Secrets.  The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

    With the latest offer on the Chase Marriott card, you can earn up to 120,000 Marriott points within the first year of account opening.

    For your first cardmember year, you’ll earn 10X Marriott points per $1 spent on all purchases.  On up to $12,000 in purchases.

    This Bigger Sign-Up Bonus Is Enough for 2 Round-Trip Coach Tickets Within in US. So You and a Friend Could Fly to Chicago for Free!

    In addition to the maximum 120,000 Marriott points you can earn, you’ll also get:

    Just remember, this card IS effected by the Chase “5/24” rule.  And it’s unlikely you’ll be approved for most of their cards if you’ve opened 5+ cards from any bank (NOT counting Chase business cards and these other business cards) in the past 24 months.

    Is This a Good Deal?

    This offer could be a fantastic deal for some!  But it depends on your travel goals and how to plan to divide up your credit card spending.

    Because the other current deal on the Chase Marriott card is for 80,000 Marriott points after spending $3,000 within the first 3 months.  Which means you’re effectively earning ~26.7 Marriott points per $1 spent on your first $3,000 in spending (80,000 Marriott points / $3,000)!

    You’d only earn 30,000 Marriott points for spending $3,000 on purchases (or 10 Marriott points per $1 spent) with the most recent offer on the Chase Marriott card.  That comes with up to a 120,000 Marriott point sign-up bonus.

    So, ask yourself if spending $9,000 MORE ($12,000 – $3,000) to earn an extra 40,000 Marriott points is worth it.  Because $9,000 in spending could earn you a lot of other great sign-up bonuses!

    That said, if don’t have a problem putting a lot of  spending on your Chase Marriott card, then the latest deal is definitely better.

    Ways to Use Marriott Points

    Marriott points have become more valuable since the Marriott-Starwood merger.  Because you can now transfer them to Starwood at a 3:1 ratio.  So you have a lot of options when it comes to using the sign-up bonus from either offers on the Chase Marriott card!

    120,000 Marriott points, for example, is worth 40,000 Starwood points.  And because you’ll get a 5,000 mile bonus for every 20,000 Starwood points you transfer to an airline, you’d have enough miles for 2 round-trip tickets within the US on airlines like Delta or United Airlines!

    120,000 Marriott point is also enough for:

    Bottom Line

    There are 2 different offers for the Chase Marriott card.  And with the latest deal, you’ll earn 10X Marriott points per $1 on the first $12,000 in purchases made within the first year of account opening.  For a maximum of 120,000 Marriott points.

    This could be a great deal if you’re okay spending that much on a single card.  If not, there is still the 80,000 Marriott point offer after spending $3,000 on purchases with the first 3 months of account opening.  That would make sense for folks looking for a much smaller minimum spending requirement!
