Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points
The Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card is a great choice for anyone looking to increase their Bonvoy points balance.
The card has a £95 annual fee but comes with a 20,000 points sign-up bonus and 15 elite night credits. This gives you instant Silver Elite status and puts you on the way to Gold Elite. You also earn 2 points for every £1 spent on the card.
