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.

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.

Spend $1000 Marriott Homes and Villas get $200 ( up to 2x )

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.

Overall
Some great ways to save on your Marriott bookings!
Got my $100 today from a Le Meridian stay last week. Will get the $50 this week on a Sheraton stay. I’ve received well more than my AF back this year.
I have both offers. I am actually in Hawaii using the $50 off $200. The bill is $195 so I bought candy so now the charge is $202. Now I get $50 off of a vacation I was going on already.
@ tammie, I got the same question
I didn’t get either of these offers on any of my AmEx cards. Do I need to receive the offer by email?
I don’t understand how you stack the Marriott villas credit with Amex platinum card FHR credit since the Amex terms state you must book through Marriott. Don’t you have to book through Amex travel to get the platinum card credit?
Hey Tammie – Sorry, I clarified it in the post – What i’m suggesting is you could book a stay at a Marriott hotel property via Fine Hotels and Resorts and receive a $200 credit via Amex Plat’s prepaid FHR benefit, but if you charged $200 while on property, since this is billed separately from the pre-paid stay and processed via the hotel, it would also trigger the Amex Offers credit.
Do you think the $300 amex brilliant credit will stack with the Homes and Villas offer? Thanks
Using the $50 off of $250 early Sep. it’s on my no-fee Amex everydaycard…
So, can I purchase a prepaid room now and then stay in the hotel a few months from now?
Does it need to be a single purchase or can it be multiple purchases made at once (two different hotels on different nights)?
