Marriott has a total of six credit cards and they are split up between Chase and Amex. In this post we will discuss if you can get the welcome offer on all six Marriott cards 

Usually, banks have rules and restrictions on welcome offers for who can get them. Unfortunately, when it comes to Marriott, Chase and Amex have become friends and they share info in regards to who has their Marriott cards in order to disqualify you for a Marriott welcome bonus on another card. 

There are complicated rules to keep in mind but let’s break it down and make it as simple as possible for you.

What are the Six Marriott cards?

1. Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful (Chase)
2. Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Credit Card (Chase)
3. Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card (Chase)

5. card_name (Amex)
6. card_name(Amex) 

Let’s discuss one card at a time and its welcome offer eligibility.
