My Take

Opening this business card versus one of the personal Marriott cards will help you stay under 5/24 longer and that’s the main benefit of this card. I do like the annual free night certificate, too — and that you can top it off with up to 15k points.

Be sure to pay close attention to all the eligibility rules when applying for any Marriott card as they are pretty convoluted!

Bonus fluctuates from 75,000 bonus points to 125,000 points. Sometimes the bonus is 3 free night certificates for up to 50k per night – highest ever was 5 free nights (up to 50k and ended March 2024, was offered again and ended July 2024). Note that personal referral offers often don’t match the best available offer.
