The verdict
On a typical year of household spending, the Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful® earns about $763 a year in rewards and the Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority about $343, valuing every point at a flat 1 cent. The Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful® charges $250, which you clear through its rewards and perks. The Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority charges $229, but carries about $75 in annual statement credits that offset it for anyone who uses them. Counting rewards, fees, and any credits, the Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful® delivers more total value, about $362 a year more for a typical spender, mostly because it earns more where you spend most, on groceries and everything else. Neither leans on transferable points, so the deciding factors are the welcome offer, the card network, and which everyday perks you will actually use. On the sign-up bonus, the two are currently comparable in size. Note that Southwest Rapid Rewards® Priority is running a limited-time offer above the usual amount, so that edge may not last. A welcome bonus is a one-time event, so weigh it apart from the ongoing rewards.
Pick the Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful® if your spending leans toward dining, groceries, travel.
