The verdict

When each card wins.

Marriott Bonvoy Boundless wins if

Pick this if you stay at Marriott a few times a year and want a low-fee card with a usable free night.

Honest downside: Silver elite is functionally useless. Free night cap of 35K is tight for major-city Marriotts.

Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful wins if

Pick this if you stay at Marriott often but do not want to pay the Brilliant's $650 fee.

Honest downside: Sits awkwardly between Boundless ($95) and Brilliant ($650) without a unique killer perk.
