Editorial take: Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful
Mid-tier Marriott card. The 50k free night cert can pay for the fee on a single stay at a Cat 5 property, but Hyatt is a more valuable program for most people, consider that card first.
Free during beta. Plus launches at $12/mo or $99/yr on July 1. Annual is locked for 12 months during beta.
Both are hotel travel cards. The Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful comes from Chase at $250/yr; the IHG One Rewards Premier from Chase at $99/yr. Below: side-by-side specs, an opinionated verdict, and the FAQs people actually ask before applying.
Both cards come from Chase and target hotel spenders, so the choice usually comes down to whether you'll use the premium-tier benefits. The Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful costs $151 more per year, only worth it if you'll actually use the upgraded perks.

A solid hotel card if you stay at IHG properties regularly. The free night award and 4th night free on award stays can easily offset the $99 annual fee.
