The Amex Offers program often has promotions that can save you money on hotel stays, especially with co-brand credit card partners Hilton and Marriott.
We’ve just seen a couple of new Amex Offers deals introduced for Marriott — one can save you money on hotel stays, and the other can save you money on home rentals. Let’s go over the details, as these offers could save you quite a bit.
In this post:
Spend $400+ with Marriott, get $100 back
There’s a targeted Amex Offers deal for stays at select Marriott properties:
- Save $100 when you spend $400+ across one or more transactions (up to 25% back)
- This is valid when you pay for your stay between January 6 and March 31, 2025
- This is valid for stays at properties in the US, US territories, the Caribbean, Canada, and Mexico
- The offer is valid at all brands except Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, EDITION, The Luxury Collection, W Hotels, JW Marriott, Marriott Vacation Club, Design Hotels, Protea Hotels by Marriott, Marriott Executive Apartments, Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, and Vistana
- This offer excludes gift card purchases, online retail purchases, and purchases of Marriott Bonvoy points
- The terms state that you need to book directly with Marriott to take advantage of this
- This can be combined with any promotion being offered directly by Marriott
- Registration is required
There also seems to be a version of the offer with savings of $50 for a $250+ purchase, and the terms are otherwise the same.
Spend $1,000+ with Homes & Villas by Marriott, get $250 back
There’s a targeted Amex Offers deal for stays at Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy properties:
- Save $250 when you spend $1,000 across one or more transactions (up to 25% back)
- This is valid when you pay for your stay between January 6 and April 13, 2025
- This is valid for stays at properties in the US, US territories, the Caribbean, Canada, Central America, Mexico, and South America
- Reservations must be made through the Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy website, and this offer doesn’t work with any other brand
- This can be combined with any promotion being offered directly by Marriott
- Registration is required
For those not familiar, Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy is Marriott’s home sharing platform, allowing you to earn and redeem points for home rentals across the globe.
Bottom line
There are currently two targeted Amex Offers deals for Marriott stays. One can save you $100 off the cost of a $400+ Marriott stay (with select brands excluded), and another can save you $250 off the cost of a $1,000+ Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy stay.
Ideally, you’ll see at least one of the offers on a co-branded Marriott card, so that you can earn 6x points on your stay while also earning cash back.
Was your account targeted for these Amex Offers deals, and do you plan on taking advantage of them?
Have the Brilliant card and didn’t receive any offers. How do they send it to you?
@ FJ -- It should appear in the Amex Offers section of your account, if eligible. At most 100 offers will be displayed, so if you're at that limit, it makes sense to add existing offers to your card, so that more will populate.
I was targeted for “Spend $375, get $150 back” so I’ll take it!
Same here! That's an offer that will fit nicely with my plans.
Same. 40% off any Marriott stay when you pre-buy a gift card at any participating properties (must get a manager to do it as most front desk people don't know how to sell a gift card).
Me too! I actually just tried to confirm the Autograph Collection hotel I have booked for this month qualifies but neither Marriott or Amex can confirm which hotels are "participating hotels" I am just hoping if not excluded, they count. Also, fYI my husband's CSR has an offer of 10% back on Autograph collection hotels after spending $100 up to $62.50 so I'm going to split the bill (they will love me at checkout). My...

My CSR only has a Sheraton offer. You might want to check any CSR offers as well.
for the first time ever, i got this offer on the Brilliant. so brilliant!
Does this work for prepaid stays that are past the expiration date? I just want to be sure.
@ Joe -- In my experience that should work, as long as it's charged during the offer period.
You can also buy a gift card during the promotional period and then swap it for the credit card upon checkout. Works for me 100% of the time.
Can you use this promo for gift cards? It says it’s excluded above.
But not gift cards bought online, presumably?
