Double the Benefits: Why You May Want Both a Personal and Business Marriott Bonvoy Credit Card
WHY IT MATTERS
This strategy can be particularly valuable for frequent Marriott travelers who want to maximize their benefits and earn higher status tiers more quickly.
What happened
Holding multiple Marriott credit cards can provide significant benefits, including stacking elite night credits and earning multiple annual free night awards. This can accelerate your path to higher tiers of Marriott Bonvoy elite status, such as Platinum and Titanium Elite.
For example, pairing two cards with 15 elite night credits each can give you 30 elite night credits at the beginning of each year, which is 60% of the way to Platinum Elite status.
Additionally, having a personal and business Marriott card can help you earn more points across various spending categories, such as gas stations, grocery stores, and restaurants.
