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. American Express has just rolled out two new offers for Marriott stays, which could save cardmembers up to $150. Let’s go over the details of the two offers.
In this post:
Spend $250+ at Marriott, get $50 back
There’s a targeted Amex Offers deal for stays at Marriott family properties over the next few months (this excludes luxury properties, because there’s a separate offer for those, which I’ll cover below):
- Save $50 when you spend $250+ across one or more transactions (up to 20% back)
- This is valid when you pay for your stay between April 15 and June 30, 2022
- This is valid for stays at properties in the US, US territories, the Caribbean, Canada, and Mexico
- The offer excludes 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 International, 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
- You can combine this with any promotion being offered directly by Marriott, including any Marriott Bonvoy global promotion
- Registration is required
Spend $500+ at Marriott, get $100 back
There’s a targeted Amex Offers deal for stays at luxury Marriott family properties over the next few months:
- Save $100 when you spend $500+ across one or more transactions (up to 20% back)
- This is valid when you pay for your stay between April 15 and June 30, 2022
- This is valid for stays at properties in the US, US territories, the Caribbean, Canada, and Mexico
- The offer is specifically for stays at Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, EDITION, The Luxury Collection, W Hotels, and JW Marriott
- 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 (though a Marriott STARS booking should qualify, since you’re billed directly by the hotel)
- You can combine this with any promotion being offered directly by Marriott, including any Marriott Bonvoy global promotion
- Registration is required
Bottom line
There are two new Amex Offers deals for stays at Marriott properties, which could save you up to 20%, for a total of up to $150 in savings. One offer is for most of Marriott’s non-luxury brands, while the other offer is for Marriott’s luxury brands. The Amex Offers program continues to offer so much value, and is a reason to hold onto as many Amex cards as possible.
Ideally, you’ll see this offer on a co-branded Marriott card, like the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant™ American Express® Card (review) or Marriott Bonvoy Business™ American Express® Card (review), so that you can earn 6x points on your stay while also earning cash back.
Was your account targeted for these Amex Offers, and do you plan on taking advantage of them?
While officially excluded,
Any data on using at non US, US territories, the Caribbean, Canada, and Mexico, i.e. Asia, EU?
I just had a charge post for $269 on April 15 from UK actually. I’m not hopeful.
Activated both on my AMEX Platinum Card.
Thank You Amex
Both are showing on my platinum card, and only the 50 off 250 is showing on my wife's Marriott Brilliant card. At first, I thought if I use my Platinum card for my upcoming Ritz Carlton stay, I'd be able to double dip both of them, but as you point out, the 50 off 250 excludes the luxury brands. The Amex Offer is far less clear than how you describe it. It says in big...
Both are showing on my platinum card, and only the 50 off 250 is showing on my wife's Marriott Brilliant card. At first, I thought if I use my Platinum card for my upcoming Ritz Carlton stay, I'd be able to double dip both of them, but as you point out, the 50 off 250 excludes the luxury brands. The Amex Offer is far less clear than how you describe it. It says in big print, valid at participating marriott brands, and then the small print lists the exclusions of the luxury brands. BE CAREFUL that you use the card linked to the proper promotion at the proper hotel. Lots of mistakes will be made with this. Also, how ironic that the luxury marriott "Brilliant Card" doesn't have the offer for the luxury hotels.
Got both on my AX Marriott card.
