Queries on Mariott Bonvoy credit card

[Sai Ganesh]

Hi Team

I have few queries on Mariott Bonvoy credit card

If we get this card for FYF or LTF , will we get the 1 Free Night Award ?

Upon renewal , in case if we get the card as only FYF or with joining and annual fees where if we pay the annual fees , do we get 1 Free Night Award for paying annual fees as well ?

Also for the free night , is there any capping for the same or can we go to any hotels associated with Mariott ?

yes they are

Then that’s great. Except night credit (which one can value at 0.23p per MB point considering capping) all benefits being intact makes it a great LTF card. Just need to hold the card for 5 years and then you are eligible for lifetime silver status even without a single night of stay requirement in future.

I don't have 250 nights with marriot properties

Lounge access? Elite night credits? All intact?

Only Marriott Plats and above get lounge access.

Card holder = membership person = primary hotel guest.

You can bring your family members with you, but you have to be staying for this.

Can the FNA be used for a property that has points requirements of say 20K per night? And we pay the balance as cash?

Or what if I buy 5K points and use that + FNA to book a 20K/night property?
