What Credit Score Is Required to Get the Marriott Bonvoy Bold?
This credit score data is a little misleading because someone reports being denied for opening more than 5 cards in a two-year period, which is against Chase's 5/24 rule. A credit score of 720 or higher is ideal. We populated the most recent credit score data below but if we go back further than 2019, we can see approvals with a score as low as 660, but keep in mind that credit card issuers consider more than just your credit score when evaluating a credit card application.
