Regular Marriott guests who want mid-tier elite perks — complimentary Marriott Gold Elite status, 15 elite-night credits, 6x points at Marriott properties and 4x at restaurants and U.S. supermarkets (on up to $15,000 combined per year), plus a free-night certificate worth up to 50,000 points after $15,000 in calendar-year spend.

Not for

Light Marriott guests who won't hit the spend threshold — and cost-conscious travelers who'd rather take the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless at $95/yr, which grants a free night (up to 35K points) automatically without a spend requirement.

The catch

Unlike the Boundless, the Bevy's free-night certificate isn't automatic — it requires $15,000 of calendar-year spend to earn. Miss that threshold and you lose the single benefit most likely to justify the $250 fee.
