Holders of The Ritz-Carlton Rewards credit card now enjoy an expanded set of travel benefits. The card is also the first co-branded card in the United States on the Visa Infinite platform, which brings additional premium features and protections for cardholders. Thom Kozik, vice president of loyalty at Marriott International, said the program is focused on delivering memorable and elevated travel experiences and that partnerships with Chase continue to expand exclusive benefits for cardmembers.
New elite travel perks include unlimited $100 discounts on purchases of two or more domestic airline tickets, access to more than 900 airport lounges worldwide, reimbursement for Global Entry application fees, and special car rental discounts and potential upgrades. These enhancements are designed to make travel smoother and more rewarding for frequent flyers and leisure travelers alike.
New applicants who are approved for The Ritz-Carlton Rewards Credit Card and spend $5,000 within the first three months receive three complimentary nights at participating Ritz-Carlton properties. Cardholders also get access to exclusive events, three complimentary club-level upgrades per year, automatic Gold Elite status within the Marriott loyalty program, and a $100 hotel credit for eligible stays of two nights or more.
The card’s earning structure rewards stays and travel purchases: cardholders earn five points per $1 spent at Ritz-Carlton and Marriott hotels, two points per $1 on airline tickets, car rentals and dining, and one point per $1 on all other purchases. These accelerated earnings aim to help members reach elite status and redeem rewards more quickly for free nights and other travel experiences.
