In a string of previous all-time high card offers from American Express and Chase, we now have the Marriott Business card hitting its all-time high. It is at 100,000 Marriott points which is just fantastic! Here are the details.
100,000 Marriott Points with the Marriott Business Card
The spending requirement has gone up a bit on this one, but it is in line with other business card offers ($5,000 in 3 months). Other than that, it is pretty great – a sign-up bonus of 100,000 Marriott points after meeting the minimum spending.

Marriott Gold with Spending
As you may have noticed, this Marriott business card now comes with a new way to earn Marriott Gold status. To earn it, you need to spend $50,000 in an anniversary year. This is different from some other spending requirements that go by calendar year. It is a nice new perk for those who want the status and can handle the spending! This is better than the old way which (is still available) allowed you to earn 1 elite credit for every $3,000 in spending. You start with 15 credits and then would need to spend over $100,000 to earn the rest of the credits to reach Gold status. So, this new perk is definitely a saver on spending if you use to do that!
Is This Offer Worth It?
I think this is easily the best Marriott offer available and ever available! Yes, you will need to pay the $99 but you are getting 100,000 Marriott points which gives you a lot of options for redemption. Just remember, if you have had a bonus from this card in the last 24 months and/or you currently have it open, you are not eligible for the bonus. Also, remember about the Chase 5/24 rule (even though some are still getting approved).
