Certificates do NOT trigger the fifth night free. Only stays on points, unfortunately. Super frustrating, I know!

I’ve received two offers from Marriott and cannot decide which to choose for my opening bonus. Any advice?

Offer 1:
Free introductory annual fee ($95 value)
$250 statement credit + bonus award night (up to 35,000) point value after spending 2,000 in first 3 months
(no bonus points besides what I mentioned)

Offer 2:
100,000 bonus points after spending $3,000 in first 3 months of account opening. Annual fee not waived first year.

Thoughts?

During high season it costs 100K per night and low season 80K. Rooms go for over $1000 per night. BUT. It includes all food, (not alchol) and the reviews on the food are amazing. You get a private suite and private pool. You get free excursions each day. While it is alot of points, I think the value is truly amazing to be at unique and world class location. I have never read so many glowing reviews of one place.

The difference is, where before they were a no-brainer, now they are only good in certain circumstances, and only if you were going to book the hotel for 7 days anyway.

Yep, it’s easy to forget but can definitely yield some pretty amazing value 🙂
