Looking for insight as someone who has never redeemed points/certs for Marriott. How useful are 50k certs? Since the elevated chase boundless offer gives 5 certs, seems like a good deal at first glance but not sure if most decent rooms cost a lot more.

50k is quite useful if you’re not thinking of luxury tiered hotels (was able to get a room at Marriott in NYC for one night during the holiday season), and it mostly depends on location and timing of redemption. You can try searching on the website to see how many points are generally needed for redemption for a point of your interest. They also allow you to top up with up to 15k of points with redemption so you could go up to 65k if you have more points to redeem.

Happy to provide a referral to the card if you would like one

Fairly useful still. I still get the 35k certs from a different card and those are becoming increasingly hard to use without topping up, but I often see options between 35-50

Really depends on where you like to stay.
