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. Several days ago American Express rolled out an offer for Marriott stays, and now yet another offer has been introduced.
What’s cool is that one offer seems to be on personal cards, while the other offer seems to be on business cards, and you can take advantage of both. Let’s go over the details.
In this post:
Spend $300+ at Marriott, get $60 back
There’s a targeted Amex Offers deal for stays at Marriott family properties over the next few months, which seems to exclusively be available on personal cards:
- Save $60 when you spend $300+ across one or more transactions (up to 20% back)
- This is valid when you pay for your stay between July 15 and October 9, 2022
- This is valid for stays at properties in the US, US territories, the Caribbean, Canada, and Mexico
- The offer excludes 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 $250+ at Marriott, get $50 back
There’s a targeted Amex Offers deal for stays at Marriott family properties over the next few months, which seems to exclusively be available on business cards, with similar terms:
- 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 July 19 and October 13, 2022
- This is valid for stays at properties in the US, US territories, the Caribbean, Canada, and Mexico
- The offer excludes 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
Bottom line
There are two Amex Offers deal for stays at Marriott properties, which could save you up to 20%, for a total of up to $110 in savings. One offer seems to be available on personal cards, while another offer seems to be available on business cards. 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 deals, and do you plan on taking advantage of them?
I have them Amex Bonvoy card and have checked every day since your notice came out. I have not received the same offer. I even called Amex to ask why. No explanation.
Only got this on my business card but it's different:
Get 20% back as a statement credit by using your enrolled eligible Business Card to make purchases on room rate and room charges at participating Marriott Bonvoy® properties in the U.S. and U.S. territories, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean from 7/19/2022 to 10/13/2022. Limit of $50 back in total statement credits. See terms.
Will this work on incidentals/food at a Marriott up to $300 total over a 5 night stay?
@ David -- Yep, as long as it's charged to your room, that should be fine.
Ridiculous only targeted on Platinum / Gold, but not Marriott Brilliant too, especially since trying to use all $300 credit before Sep 30 deadline, so cheap on AMEX
All Amex offer terms are set by the merchant, so it's on Marriott.
Thank You Amex workin with Marriott Bonvoy
I got this on my charge cards (Platinum and Green), but not my Bonvoy Brilliant.
I struggle wit the Amex Green - it is a good earner, but it has no effective offsets to the $150 fee. On the other hand, the more "premium" Platinum and Gold cards are effectively free...
Not targeted on my legacy Bonvoy and Aspire Amex cards.
Got it on Amex Platinum. Did not see it on Amex Marriott Biz, Amex Hilton Aspire, or Amex Delta Gold
Amex EveryDay card targeted. My Business Marriott card was not.
Nope, not eligible on my Gold, Legacy SPG, or Bonvoy Brilliant Amex's
Would this work with an Amex FHR prepaid booking at a Marriott hotel? I have it on my platinum and have an FHR stay coming up.
@ Msd2179 -- A pre-paid booking (in order to earn 5x points) generally wouldn't qualify, since the rate would be billed by Amex rather than the hotel.
