Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card
The Boundless is the mid-tier Marriott cobrand at $95 a year, sized for occasional Marriott stays. The annual Free Night Award (up to 35,000 points) typically out-values the $95 fee on its own. 15 Elite Night Credits per calendar year plus one more credit per $5,000 in spend builds toward Gold or Platinum status faster than stay-only earning.
