Our Verdict
These are some nice offers for someone planning on staying 6 paid Marriott stays. Without that added bonus, these aren’t necessarily the best offers we’ve seen.
The American Express Brilliant and Bevy offers are available via referrals as well. The Chase Boundless and Bold offers are not. Related, on the Chase Boundless card there’s still a live link that someone found for 5 free nights.
How much is the 50,000 SUB for the Bonvoy Bold card worth, in terms of cash back dollars?
Also, what kind of travel protections does it offer? Is travel accident insurance included?

$300 e-gift card + 75,000 points.
It’s now 6 months instead of 3 months for 75,000 bonus points with 3k spend.
Got the pop up window failure while trying to apply logged in to my Amex account.
2 hours later, applied from Marriott Bonvoy’s site and was instantly approved, no pop up window. Call Amex, rep congratulated me and confirmed the welcome bonus promo attached.
8/24, 27k CL, have the Blue cash and Hilton no fee cards, actively spending $10/month on these cards.
Had the same issue but didn’t let me apply at home. Applied at my job that uses a VPN – got approved through the Marriott Website. Thanks !
I tried applying for the Amex Bonvoy Brilliant and got the pop-up box that I won’t get the signup bonus. A bit disappointing and unexpected because I have the Amex Bonvoy Personal card (the legacy one) and the Amex Bonvoy Business card (got it in the past year, but didn’t get a sign-up bonus because I’ve had it in the past).
Not sure why I’m ineligible for the sign-up bonus. Based on the matrix I’ve seen and the terms I’ve read, I should be. Is there a way to dispute this with Amex?
Try applying through the Marriott Website or VPN. Worked for me.
I got the Amex Bevy approved in April last week and then Amex elevated the bonus. I am trying to get the new offer applied as I met the spending requirements within a month. Amex is not ready to budge to apply the new offer. Anyone had any luck before to apply new offer after getting approved?
Can someone please help me out with a Bonvoy Boundless eligibility question: I currently have the Amex Bonvoy card. If I were to upgrade it to the Amex Brilliant, would I be eligible for the Chase Bonvoy Boundless welcome bonus after 30 days? Or would I have to wait for 90 days since I “applied and was approved for”/”product switched” into the Brilliant card? TIA!
anyone have an active link to the prior chase boundless sign up bonus ($3k spend 3 nights)?
Here’s one better (not a referral):

When applying the AMEX Brilliant, can I enter my P2’s Bonvoy #, so we can keep all the benefit on the same Bonvoy account?
No
You can try.
Seems you can get both Amex brilliant and Amex bevy welcome bonuses and hold both cards at the same time? But how far apart do you have to spread the applications?
Got the dreaded AmEx pop-up jail message for Brilliant card…
Try going through Marriott website to apply for the cards and see if you can bypass the pop up. It was working with the Hilton cards.
Too bad it doesn’t work for me. I can only hope next month Amex will let me apply.
