Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card from Chase Launches the Bold Chat Court Contest, Empowering Travelers to Take Their Trips Out of the Group Chat

WILMINGTON, DE / BETHESDA, MD – September 26, 2024 – Today, the Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card from Chase announces the launch of the Bold Chat Court contest to help get stalled group trips out of the group chat and into real life. Group chats can be a popular forum to plan trips and experiences with friends, but far too often those plans may never materialize. The Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Card teamed up with Halle Bailey, award-winning singer-songwriter and actress, to award a total of 5 million Marriott Bonvoy points to 10 travelers (500,000 points each) who want to finally get their group trips out of the chat and make them a reality. Marriott Bonvoy is Marriott International’s award-winning travel program and marketplace with a portfolio of over 30 brands and 10,000 destinations.

To enter for a chance to win, travelers can state their case by creating and sharing an Instagram Reel describing their trip, why it's been stuck in the group chat and how winning this prize from the Marriott Bonvoy Bold Card can help them book their dream vacation. Travelers must visit Chase.com/BoldChatCourt to enter and submit their Reel. Travelers can submit a unique entry every week between Sept. 26 and Oct. 30, 2024, for multiple opportunities to enter for a chance to win and be one of 10 people to each receive 500,000 Marriott Bonvoy points and $5,000 to use towards other travel expenses. Written entries are also accepted. Visit the Official Rules for more details.

“Travel has always been a source of immense joy for me, especially when shared with friends and loved ones but planning those trips and actually making them happen can be so challenging,” says Halle Bailey. “There’s something really special about exploring new places, trying new foods and learning about different cultures and music, which is why I’m thrilled to partner with the Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card from Chase to extend my passion for travel to others and help get some trips out of the chat!”

“The struggle to get group trips out of the planning phase and into reality is a feeling so many can relate to,” says Khary Barnes, Managing Director and General Manager of Marriott Co-Brands Cards at Chase. “Bold Chat Court sheds light on this common travel pain and aims to help make the next trip more within reach. The Marriott Bonvoy Bold Credit Card from Chase, with its many opportunities to earn points towards future free stays with hotels participating in Marriott Bonvoy, can also support travelers in taking that next dream vacation with their friends—when and how they want to.”

Bold Chat Court celebrates the new, enhanced benefits recently introduced to the Marriott Bonvoy Bold Card, all still with no annual fee. Cardmembers now earn more Marriott Bonvoy points on a variety of popular everyday spend categories, like at grocery stores and on rideshare and select food delivery, to redeem for future free hotel nights, flights and experiences.
