WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Chase Card Services, the leading co-brand credit card issuer in the U.S., and Marriott International, today announced the rebrand of the Marriott Rewards® Premier Plus Credit Card as the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless™ Credit Card. The rebrand follows Marriott’s reveal of Marriott Bonvoy™, its new loyalty brand that will replace the current loyalty brands – Marriott Rewards®, The Ritz-Carlton Rewards® and Starwood Preferred Guest® (SPG®) – on February 13.
The new name and look for the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card will launch on February 28 with a 100,000 point limited-time offer for new cardmembers. The card will be contactless, allowing cardmembers to tap to pay for fast, easy and secure checkout at millions of places where contactless payments are accepted. Chase contactless cards include secure EMV® Chip technology, which has proven effective at reducing counterfeit fraud.
New cardmembers will receive the card with new Marriott Bonvoy Boundless branding starting February 28, and existing cardmembers can expect to receive new cards later this year.
