Marriott, in partnership with Bradesco, a local Brazilian bank, has launched two credit cards for the market, one of which also earns United Airlines miles.
Bradesco Horizon Visa Infinite allows you to earn both United miles and Marriott points, while Bradesco Marriott Bonvoy Visa Infinite is a pure Marriott play.

Conclusion
Marriott is really launching these cobranded cards in many markets. They recently introduced one for Indonesia, and now there are two products for Brazil.
Although I travel to Brazil several times a year (I will be back later this month), I don’t have a local CPF (which is not difficult to get) to open a bank account or conduct any financial transactions in the country (and you used to need one for ALL Signature).
