American Express
Marriott Bonvoy Bevy
What it is
The Marriott Bonvoy Bevy is an American Express card earning Marriott Bonvoy points. It's mainly a sign-up-bonus play: earn the bonus, then keep or close. Mid-tier Marriott card with Gold status and elevated dining/grocery earn, but its free night only triggers after heavy annual spend — so it's a weaker keeper than the Brilliant or the cheaper Business. Best treated as a one-time bonus play.
Offer history
Value is the welcome bonus at your valuations. The Year 1 total also counts recurring benefits and subtracts the annual fee. Spend / mo (the dashed line, right axis) is the monthly pace to clear the minimum spend in time — shown on every view so the spend stays in context.
