      Common questions

      Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Apple Card or Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card?
      Neither card has a publicly advertised sign-up bonus today. Watch for limited-time offers from each issuer.
      Is the Apple Card's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card?
      The Apple Card has no annual fee, so the question is whether the Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card's $0 fee is justified by its perks. If you'll use enough of the Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card's benefits to clear $0 in value annually, it's worth it; otherwise stick with the Apple Card.
      Can I have both the Apple Card and Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card?
      Yes, since they're from different issuers (Goldman Sachs and Chase) the application rules don't conflict. Many points enthusiasts hold both, they pair well when one earns flexible bank points and the other earns a different currency.
      Should I get the Apple Card or the Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card first?
      Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Apple Card: no published min spend. Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card: no published min spend. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
