I received the credit within a day on a similar offer back in October 2020. Haven’t received it yet this time, but in the terms it says, “Statement credit will appear on your billing statement within 90 days after 4/10/2021”, so I am still hopeful.....

It took about 2 weeks, but the $50 credit showed up on my CC account yesterday. I used it to prepay $200 on my KORVN MFs. Yahoo!

Got mine also. Took some time to post (couple of weeks) but the $50k credit is there now. As others above, I used it to prepay some of my 2022 maint fees ($210 worth).

To be clear, we used it at the resort to pay our Bill not on MF
The $50 credit hit our account today for charges at the resort.

Me too. Got $50 for prepaying WKORV MFs. $50 credit just posted yesterday, paid 13 days earlier. Paid a little over $200 + some cents.

I paid the transient accomodation taxes due for my stay at WKORV, along with a purchase at the beach grill. The total amounted to about $206, mostly for the TATs. I checked out of that stay on Feb. 8 and credit showed up on my AmEx statement dated Feb. 21. I wasn't sure this was going to work, but I'm glad it did!

I just prepaid $200 for WKORV-N and received the Amex email 2 hours later. I'm very happy since I have 6 of these marriott $50 off offers.

This is confirmed. I just received the $50 credit after 9 days I paid the $200 WKORVN MF. I will use the other 5 cards to pay $200 each soon.

When you all are prepaying your fees, do you call in or just plug $200 in the online payment box even though it shows zero balance?

You can do it either way, but online is easier.

Mine posted after about three weeks. The AMEX offers have been great so far this year (Best Buy, Home Depot, Paypal) and should eventually be close to covering the membership fee (AMEX Platinum, non-Marriott).

I paid $225 toward my Bella unit but haven’t seen the credit yet. The payment just posted March 2 so I’m probably a little early to see anything.

This is good news! Just to clarify, you pre-paid your maintenance on a Vistana property, right? Not on a Marriott hotel stay?

A few in S and VA, a single resort in NC, MD, PA, and UT, plus Jamaica and the Bahamas
I was skeptical too but don't like to pass up free money so I paid $210 of my next year's MF at SBP and it took about 3 weeks but the $50 credit showed up. The offer is still showing as available so I wonder if I should press my luck and pay another $200.

Correct. The credit showed up as "ST AUGUSTINE RESORT CONDO"

I racked up $400 in AMEX credits last month. Marriott, Paypal, airline change fee, Best Buy and Home Depot. Plus it looks like we'll be comfortable flying starting in May so should be able to use my airport club membership from Amex platinum.

Does $200 have to be in one transaction?

For anyone on the fence, here's a screenshot. The credit hasn't posted yet, but it's showing up in the "Savings" tab of my Amex Offers for prepaying my Vistana Villages Key West 2022 maintenance! Offer expires 4/10.
