Amex Offers Marriott Hotels :

American Express regularly runs Marriott “Amex Offers” and their latest is a spend $300 bet $60 back. 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.

*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.

• American Express Platinum
• American Express Gold
• 3x American Express Business Platinum
• 3x American Express Business Gold
• 2x American Express Blue Business Plus

Marriott: Spend $300 get $60

This is targeted for properties within the Marriott umbrella that aren’t “luxury” per se. Interestingly enough, Autograph Collection, AC, Le Meridien properties aren’t excluded which I’ve found to be quite nice, so if you’re still wanting up market, these could be a great option. Also, if you’re doing a roadtrip and staying in Spring Hill Suites, Fairfield, Courtyard, etc – easy way to get money back.

Marriott get 20% back on purchases up to $50

This is another iteration of the spend $300 get $60 back. I was targeted for both of these offers and the way I would approach it is to divide payment at check out. I’m sure it would be fine to stack them on a single card, but if you have two, I’d probably diversify and split them up.

  •  U.S. and U.S. territories, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean
