Is the Bonvoy 185k promotion a good deal?

Assuming you are referring to the Bonvoy Brilliant ($650 annual) signup bonus of 185k after spend. Do you have a different bonvoy card already in the wallet? Do you already have priority pass?

The current signup bonus for the boundless ($95 annual) is 3 free night awards at 50k max (150k max points). That card promo regularly goes up to 5 free night awards at 50k max. A significantly better deal than the brilliant.

Depends. I’ve typically found the 5 free night carts worth more than straight points lately.

I was actually thinking it might be a way to accumulate a lot of United points. (I already have a cheaper United card - but maybe another one is a better way?)

Chase ink cards if you want United points. Or just use Aeroplan?

Not exactly, but you can find United flights (domestic and international) to book with Aeroplan. Can do the same with lifemiles. Using those paths allow you to use the Amex ecosystem.

And yes-ish. If you’ve bought/sold something on fb marketplace or eBay you’re eligible.
