Bonvoy Boundless Airline Discount
It is not too often that you see a card launch an increased welcome offer where a part of the bonus offer also gets extended to current cardholders. That is exactly what happened with this Bonvoy Boundless airline discount though. I love when unexpected deals like this get added to a card I already have. It is kind of like found money if you are able to take advantage of it. This airline discount could net you $100, which more than covers the $95 annual fee on the card. Let's dive in.
Offer Details
Here are the details for the Chase Bonvoy Boundless airline discount:
- Activate your offer by Dec. 31, 2026
- You'll earn a $50 statement credit when you spend $250 or more on eligible purchases made directly with airlines between Jan. 1 and June 30.
- Then, earn another $50 statement credit after spending $250 or more on eligible purchases made directly with airlines between July 1 and Dec. 31.

This seems like a pretty straightforward deal, but maybe something is buried in the terms that make it worse than it appears.
Offer Terms
Here are the notable terms for the Chase Bonvoy Boundless airline discount offer:
- Existing eligible cardmembers (cardmember by 1/7/2026) must complete a one-time activation through https://www.chase.com/mybonus/marriott-airline-credit-c or by calling the phone number on the back of your card.
- New cardmembers who apply between 1/8/2026 and 10/1/2026 will be automatically registered for this offer upon card activation.
- To qualify for this statement credit bonus offer, account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment.
- If you product change into another Chase Marriott Bonvoy Credit Card, you will not be eligible for this offer.
- Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for statement credit(s) to appear on your monthly credit card billing statement.
- We may reverse statement credits if an eligible purchase is returned, canceled, or modified or if you close your account within 90 days of receiving a statement credit.
- Purchases posted to your account with a transaction date during the promotional period are eligible for this offer.
- Delays by the merchant could extend the transaction date beyond the offer period, rendering the purchase ineligible for the offer.
I guess it really is that easy. You just need to put some airline charges on your card that total $250 or more in the 6 month periods and get $50 back. Make sure you pay attention to when the charges post for the six months timeline for the second part of the offer.
Bonvoy Boundless Airline Discount: ToP Thoughts
I think this offer should be fairly easy for most people to manage. We are all travelers after all. Since the terms say charges with the airlines, and not airfare, I would imagine seat fees, drinks, luggage, upgrade charges and whatever else the airlines can dream up for fees will work. I bet award taxes and fees would trigger it as well. That is just a guess on my part though, since this is new and we don't have any data points yet. The one downside to consider is the loss of potentially better travel insurance / protections when paying with another card. Well, that and a card that has a better earning rate on airline charges. So, I guess we have two potentially negative things to consider. Let me know your thoughts over in the ToP Facebook Group.
