Deal has ended, view more credit card bonuses by clicking here.

Update: This post incorrectly stated this was a Barclays card, it is issued by Bank of America

Found a link on the homepage of Sonesta website so not targeted. Important information state: ‘This email only offer may not be available elsewhere. You can take advantage of this offer when you apply now.’ so might be targeted, unsure if that is enforced or not.

The Offer

5,000 additional points after adding an authorized user within the first 90 days of account opening

  • 30,000 bonus points on your Account Anniversary, if you spend at least $7,500 on purchases in the anniversary year
  • Card Details

    • $75 annual fee waived first year
    • Card earns at the following rates:

      • 2x points on eligible airfare, car rental and dining purchases
      • 1 point for every $1 spent on all other purchases
    • Sonesta Travel Pass Gold status

    Our Verdict

    Points seem to be worth 0.75¢ – 1.5¢ towards Sonesta properties depending on the location and date. Properties cost between 10,000 and 50,000 points per night with most properties costing anywhere from 10,000-30,000 points. Unfortunately you need to be logged in to do any award searches.  Standard bonus is 80,000 points. Read this post about things you should know about Bank of America before applying.

    • Just scored a massive 160,000 points redemption for 4 nights at Sonesta Maho Beach for Ultimate Adults Only Loft Suite. Valued at just under $5,000. Not too shabby!

    • Looks like the card is gone from both Sonesta and BoA websites. Chat rep was not able to confirm if this was permanent.

    • Is anyone else having issues booking sonesta with points? I keep getting an error saying session timed out

        • Same, but stays booked over the phone won't show up in the App or the online account. Not reflected in points activity either. Their tech backend is primitive.

    • I can't seem to find the answer in comments so far. Can I just redeem the 125,000 points for $1250 in statement credit? I realize that isn't the most optimal use, but that would be my intention with the card.

    • I got my first statement, but no points have posted in my Sonesta account. Did you guys have to manually link the card to the account? I used a different email for BofA and Sonesta, I'm thinking that might be the issue.

    • You HAVE to have reward points to search a reward booking? I signed up for the program but still can't do a dummy search for rewards booking?

      • I just created an account with 0 point. If you clicked into a specific hotel, it shows the points per night. But I don't find an option to search by points directly as well.

    • Auto approved today, hefty $17k limit, 6th personal cc with BoA, have platinum honors status.
