How we estimate
- Every rate on this page comes from the card catalog. Marriott Bonvoy Business Card pays 2× on spending outside the bonus categories listed above, and up to 6× on travel booked direct.
- We value this card's points at 0.7¢ each. Cash back is valued at 1¢.
- Net is a year of rewards minus the annual fee. Credits count only when you tick the box.
- Welcome bonuses are left out of the tool so the numbers read as an ordinary year.
- Rent is not in the boxes: most landlords charge a fee that cancels out the rewards, and only a few cards earn on rent at all. Add rent in the full calculator, where those rules are modelled.
- Travel-portal bookings are not in the boxes, because portal prices differ from booking direct. The portal rates are in the table above.
- Rates checked with issuers in October 2026. Terms change, so confirm with the issuer before you apply. Educational estimate, not financial advice.

Where this data came from
Checked americanexpress.com 2026-10-05. $125 annual fee. 6x Marriott hotels, 4x restaurants worldwide and U.S. gas, shipping and wireless bought direct, 2x base. Gold Elite status, 15 elite night credits and a Free Night Award worth up to 35,000 points a year plus one more after $60,000 of spend. The welcome offer is personalized and Amex does not publish a figure, so the row's 125,000 points is unconfirmed.
