Marriott Amex US Offer: Spend $500, Get $200 at North American Luxury Hotels (Targeted)

 

There’s an exciting new targeted Amex Offer on US-issued American Express cards that applies to luxury Marriott hotels across North America, including in Canada.

For those of us who dabble in US credit cards, this offer is an easy opportunity to secure a meaningful discount on a luxury Marriott hotel stay through to December 15, 2023.

Marriott Amex US Offer: Spend $500, Get $200 at North American Luxury Hotels (Targeted)

There’s a great new targeted Marriott Amex US Offer available on a range of American Express US products.

If you’ve been targeted, you can earn a $200 (all figures in USD) statement credit upon spending at least $500 at a luxury Marriott property in North America (Canada, the United States, Mexico, and the Caribbean) before December 15, 2023.

If you have the offer available on your account, be sure to register first, and then you’ll be eligible for up to 40% off a luxury Marriott stay.

Marriott’s luxury brands that are eligible for this Amex Offer include The Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, EDITION, The Luxury Collection, W Hotels, and JW Marriott. 

With Amex US, if you have more than one card to your name, it’s fairly likely that you’ll end up receiving an Amex Offer across multiple accounts at first.

However, once you add an offer to one of your accounts, it’s typically no longer eligible to be added to other accounts. That means you should be careful about which card you add the offer to.

Ideally, you’ll be able to add the offer to your Amex US Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Card, Amex US Marriott Bonvoy Bevy Card, or Amex US Marriott Bonvoy Business Card, as these cards earn the highest possible return of 6x Marriott Bonvoy points at Marriott hotels. 

Score up to a 40% discount at North American luxury Marriott properties with the latest Amex Offer from Amex US

Because the credit is applied on the Amex side, the discount will kick in based on the final amount charged by the hotel. That means you can combine it with, say, a corporate code or the ongoing Edmonton’s Best Hotels promotion.

Remember that the offer’s expiry date refers to the transaction date of your hotel stay, so any hotel stay that ends on or before December 15, 2023, should work. 

Enhance Your Stay with Marriott STARS and Luminous

If you don’t have Marriott Bonvoy elite status, or even if you do but you wish to further elevate your stay, booking with Prince of Travel through Marriott STARS or Luminous gives you additional benefits for no extra cost.

Luxury hotels, such as the St. Regis Toronto, The Ritz-Carlton Toronto, and The Ritz-Carlton Montreal can be booked via Marriott STARS.

Meanwhile, a wider range of properties, including the W Toronto and the W Montreal, can be booked via Marriott Luminous.

The Marriott STARS or Luminous rates are the same as the best available flexible rate, which can be higher than prepaid rates, member rates, corporate rates, etc., that you may have access to.

In this case, you’ll want to weigh up the savings on those rates and how much you value the benefits of booking through STARS or Luminous. Either way, you can take advantage of the current Amex Offer in the US to get up to a 40% discount on your stay.

Does Buying Gift Cards Work?

While the terms may indicate otherwise, these Marriott offers have historically also worked with Marriott gift cards purchased from a hotel’s front desk. It appears as though gift card purchases aren’t differentiated from regular hotel room and incidental charges.

Therefore, even if you don’t plan on staying at enough Marriott hotels this fall to maximize the statement credit, you can still show up to a local luxury Marriott property that sells gift cards and purchase the right amount to meet the offer’s threshold.

You’d then be able to use the gift cards towards a future stay after the promotion has ended.

For those of you who play the game in two-player mode or more, take note that most Marriott hotels require that you pay with a credit card that’s in your own name. Indeed, this is something to be aware of if you’re trying to split $1,000+ in gift card purchases across multiple individuals’ cards.

Conclusion

American Express US has rolled out a new targeted Amex Offer for up to 40% off at luxury Marriott hotels in Canada, the US, Mexico, and the Caribbean. 

Many Amex US cardholders should see an offer in their accounts, as long as you’ve held your card for a few weeks and have started seeing Amex Offers roll in.

Be careful about which card you choose to register the card on. Ideally, you’d add it to one of your Marriott co-branded cards to earn the most Bonvoy points and stack with any annual credits on the card. 

Don’t forget to register for this Amex Offer on your dashboard, and then start planning your Marriott hotel stays before the offer expires on December 15, 2023.

    Looking at my Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Card right now and I don’t see these offers.

    Interesting how I never get any of these amazing offers on any of my 4 bonvoy cards. Curious if anyone knows how AMEX targets who gets these and who doesn’t?

      Do you have much spending on your amex account in the USA? In Canada, I’ve tended to get the bonvoy offers on premium cards like the aeroplan reserve.

      In the US I tend to get bonvoy offers on bonvoy and hilton on hilton. I have *some* spending on each card, and use other offers such as on Rover. I also have regular spending on a US business card.

      One trick for the US amex offers. There is a max of 100 offers on a US amex card. So sometimes you don’t see the good bonvoy offer even if you have it. To solve this, add a few random offers to your card, then reload. (Make sure you go back to the right card, as reloading tends to refresh). You will find new offers, including the premium offer if you had it.

    I have used a similar offer in the past to get a Marriott gift card at a local hotel, but the T&C this time indicate that room reservations must be made directly with Marriott or through the app. “Reservations must be made online at Marriott.com, via the Marriott Bonvoy® App or by calling 1-888-236-2427.” That’s too bad, but it is still a good deal if you have a paid stay in mind.
