American Express regularly runs Marriott “Amex Offers” and their latest batch is quite attractive depending on the ones you’re targeted for and is specific to US cardholders. Historically, Amex rolls out one of these and then shortly thereafter follows it up with a few more. So we will be keeping an eye on additional Marriott Amex Offers in the next week or two.
A few things to note:
Another thing worth noting: the terms and conditions stipulate booking must be done through Marriott.com, the app, etc. However, in the past if you were to book a qualifying Marriott Hotel property via Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts, you’d not only get all of the FHR benefits, but if you spent enough while on the property to trigger the Amex Offer, and that was paid directly to the property, you’d get a credit as well. So, if you held an Amex Platinum you could take advantage of the $200 hotel credit when pre-paying via Fine Hotels and Resorts or the Hotel Collection. You can read details on that here, and then any overage charge to the hotel and pay with the targeted Amex. This isn’t guaranteed to work, but has in the past.
The exclusions explicitly mention gift cards, but in the past, if those were purchased at a property (which isn’t always easy to do) they have triggered the credit.
Amex Offers helps me justify why I keep 10 Amex cards
Here are the 9 American Express Cards that I keep and links to their current offers + why we have them in our wallet. We not only get targeted for more Amex Offers, but also receive referral bonuses (and so can you) on each and every card. It’s how we earn over 500k points a year without spending a dime.
