Marriott Bonvoy Bold Refresh Coming on July 10th?

Marriott Bonvoy Bold Refresh

Marriott Bonvoy Bold is an entry level credit card that has no annual fee. It currently offers a welcome bonus of 30,000 points after you spend $1,000 on purchases in your first 3 months from your account opening.

The card has some basic benefits such as 3X points at Marriott hotels, 2x on other travel purchases, and 15 Elite Night Credits annually. But now some of these benefits have an expiration date of 7/10/2024.

The credit card page also notes that new enhancements are coming soon, adding that:

On 7/11/2024, Marriott Bonvoy Bold^® Credit cardmembers will no longer receive the following benefits with their card: Earn 2X points per $1 spent on other travel purchases; Receive 15 Elite Night Credits per calendar year, qualifying you for Silver Elite status.

Update: Based on information that was shared recently with people that have applied for the card, some of the changes include:

• 2X at grocery stores, rideshare, internet/cable/phone services as well as some food delivery and streaming services.
• 1X on other travel purchases (down from 2X)
• 5 Elite Night Credits per calendar year (down from 15)
