The perks and details

Advertisement

The value is in the annual Free Night Award, good for a one-night stay at a property costing up to 35,000 points, and you can top it off with your own points to reach a pricier hotel. You also get automatic Silver Elite status, 15 Elite Night Credits toward higher tiers each year, and no foreign transaction fees. As a Chase card it counts toward 5/24. Confirm the current perks at Chase.

The fee math

The fee is $95. If you book the free night at a hotel in the 25,000 to 35,000 point range, it usually beats the fee on its own, and the Elite Night Credits give you a head start toward status. If you never stay at Marriott, skip it. Confirm the current fee and any welcome offer at Chase.

Who it fits and who it does not

It fits an occasional Marriott guest who will use one free night a year and wants a low fee. It fits less if you rarely stay Marriott, where a flexible card is more useful, or if you are near your Chase 5/24 limit. Confirm current terms at Chase.
