AMEX Marriott Bonvoy Business 150,000 bonus + $125
Earn 150,000 Marriott Bonvoy bonus points and a $125 statement credit by making $8,000 in purchases within the first six months of card membership. Benefits include 15 Elite Nights per year and can be combined with Elite Nights from a consumer Marriott card (which range from 5-25 Elite Nights). Offer ends 7/15/26.†
Overall, I consider this a keeper if you stay at Marriott properties a couple of times per year. The points earnings can easily be beaten on other cards so I would keep this only for the Gold status, annual free night and Elite Nights. The sign up bonus is a great points offer. I value points much higher than free night certificates as you don't have limitations on redemption amounts or expiration.
