I hold the Bonvoy Visa, which grants me 15 complimentary nights. Typically, I reserve its use for business travel when staying at a Marriott property, as my company reimburses these expenses. For my everyday personal spending, I prefer my Cap1 cash back card.

Regarding the impending adjustments to the Bonvoy Bold program, I don't anticipate any negative impact. The alteration that would affect me concerns the elite night credits. However, the forthcoming changes appear advantageous. My understanding is that at the commencement of my qualifying year, I'll receive silver status, (which by my calculation is 15 nights (matching my current benefit) plus an additional 5 elite nights. This totals 20 nights, compared to the 15 I presently receive. Am I miscalculating?
