Verdict
Our Pick: Marriott Bonvoy Boundless
With a 4.3/5 rating, the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless edges out the Bilt Blue Card (4.2/5). At $95/yr, the value proposition is strong. The Marriott Boundless is the best entry-level hotel card for Marriott loyalists. 3 free nights at signup, an anniversary free night, and Silver Elite status make the $95 fee easy to justify.
