(Superstores, convenience stores and warehouse clubs are NOT considered supermarkets.)

The Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card is Chase's "no fee" entrant into the lineup of Marriott Bonvoy credit cards. It is similar to the Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Card but with no annual fee and no annual free night certificate. It also earns considerably less points per dollar spent.

Note When calculating your Estimated Rewards Values, Hotel spend will be considered "spend at Marriott Bonvoy hotels" for the purposes of calculating your potential reward values (in this case, 3X). Hotel spend at other brands will not earn the bonus multiplier and would only earn 2X Bonvoy points (the rate for all other travel).

This is the no-fee version of the IHG Rewards Club Premier Credit Card, with somewhat reduced benefits in exchange for not having an annual fee.

The IHG credit card is best suited for spend at IHG properties where it earns IHG points at the rate of 5x IHG points per dollar (vs. 10x IHG points with the IHG Rewards Club Premier Credit Card).

This card still gives you the 4th Night Free on an Award Stay benefit which is one of the best reasons to have either IHG credit card, although you do give up many other features of the IHG Rewards Club Premier Credit Card which does have an annual fee.
