the sign-up bonus is 150k, plus an additional 50k if you completed six nights of PAID stays, you automatically get Mariott Platinum status, the annual fee is $650, you do get $300 dining credit each year ($25/month), Mariott Platinum is semi-hard to get, if you stay at Mariott a lot, free daily breakfast for 2 plus room upgrades ( most of the time ), sometimes one upgrade stay can worth $1000s, my most recent trip to Maldives, Sheraton upgraded my award redemption beachfront villa to over the water villa, which is cost 2000+$/night.
or the step down is the Bevy, sign-up bonus is 125k, plus 50k if you completed six nights of PAID STAYS, annual fee of $250,
BUT, yeah there is a but here.........
if you recently jumped on the 5 free nights Chase Bonoy Boundless promotion, you can't get it.
