Amex Offers with Marriott: Save up to $200 on your next hotel stay

15.09.2023 - 15:53 / thepointsguy.com

One of the best options for saving money and earning some bonus points on a wide variety of purchases is taking advantage of offers on American Express credit cards.

And if you have a Marriott Bonvoy stay coming up, be sure to check your Amex Offers across your different cards. You may be targeted for an offer that you can use to save on your fall, holiday and winter travel.

Let's take a closer look at these offers and their terms.

Currently, there are two variations of Amex Offers for Marriott stays.

The first offer gives you a one-time $200 statement credit when you spend a minimum of $500 on one or more purchases on your room rate and room charges at participating Marriott properties in the U.S. and U.S. territories, the Caribbean, Canada and Mexico through Dec. 15. Marriott's luxury brands are included in this offer.

The second offer gives you 20% back as a statement credit — up to a total of $50 back — on your room rate and room charges at participating Marriott properties in the U.S. and U.S. territories, the Caribbean, Canada and Mexico through Dec.15. However, this offer excludes many luxury brands like The Ritz Carlton and W Hotels.

Note that both of these offers exclude online retail purchases, Bonvoy point purchases and gift card purchases.

It's worth perusing the offers page of your different American Express cards to see if you're eligible for these targeted offers — though remember that the offer is triggered by a charge to your credit card, not the actual dates of your stay. For example, if you check in on Dec. 15, but your card isn't charged until you check out, you would not qualify for these offers, as they expire on Dec. 15.

Additionally, American Express generally only allows you to earn these offers on one American Express card per account holder (including authorized users). While you may be able to add an offer to multiple American Express cards in some cases, you're likely to find that American Express will reverse the statement credit if you redeem the offer more than once.

New Marriott Amex Offers may allow you to enjoy up to $200 off eligible purchases at Marriott properties through Dec. 15.

As always, adding this offer to your card is worthwhile even if you don't have any immediate plans to stay at a Marriott Bonvoy hotel. By already having the offer linked to your card, you won't need to remember to add the offer before checking in at a later date.

American Express will only show you 100 offers at a time. By adding a few offers to your account, you may find something even better hiding in plain sight.
