Check your card to see if this is being offered. It is a select offer.
$75 back with Marriott hotel stays

At the moment there’s a new targeted Amex Offer for $75 back when you spend $250+ at select Marriott Bonvoy properties:

  • This is valid for stays in the US and US territories, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean
  • This is valid for stays between September 24 and December 31, 2020
  • The following Marriott brands are excluded: Marriott Vacation Club, Design Hotels, Protea Hotels, Marriott Executive Apartments, Homes & Villas by Marriott International, and Vistana Signature Experiences.

Do be aware of the following terms:

  • You have to book directly with Marriott (by phone, through Marriott’s website, or mobile app)
  • Excludes gift card purchases
  • You just have to spend $250+ cumulatively, so you could spend that across multiple stays; taxes and fees should even count towards that total
As you’d expect, you can earn Marriott Bonvoy points for these bookings as well, and take advantage of virtually any other promotions in conjunction with this.

Where in the T&C do you find this is cumulative? I read the T&C to say this is for a stay (folio) and is not cumulative for more than one stay. Previous offers of this kind have been clear they are cumulative.

Per the T&C (emphasis added) : Qualifying purchase means a purchase at a participating Marriott property made during the offer period with your enrolled American Express Card and which is in an amount totaling at least $250 USD as posted to your account, following conversion from a foreign currency, if applicable, in accordance with your Cardmember Agreement.

The last offer worked on MF payments. Hopefully this will work again. We have 4 of these - 1 offer on each family member's card. Will pay MF before the end of October to also get the extra bonus Bonvoy points. Love the double dip. Usually I put MF on Chase Sapphire Reserve but this is much better deal to use Bonvoy card.

Does an authorized user also get this offer or would that be double dipping?

It should work, I just prepaid some MF using my Amex BV card and got two instant emails from amex (I assume one is for the 10X points promo, and the other is this one), same as the recent 50 off 200 offer.

Sorry but it won't work on maintenance fees.

My experience is that Amex always has that term listed in Marriott offers, but in practice, MF worked for me in the last similar offer. If you have 10X signed up already, it does not hurt to try to see if it works for this offer too.

That may be so but it is certainly not in the 10X offer.

10X offer has this

.... on up to $7,500 in purchases when charged directly with participating Marriott Bonvoy properties (excluding home share properties), standalone Marriott branded retail establishments, and Marriott branded online stores (including online purchases of Marriott branded gift cards) that, in each case, are wholly owned or managed by Marriott International, Inc and its affiliates.

You are right (It did not specifically call out the MF on Vistana). I'll report back if it works in a few days. :)

It does work on 10X. I've already received the additional points on my statement last week.

I just paid $250 prepaid amount for Westin WKORVN with my Bonvoy Amex Business card.

I received 2 emails from Amex that I have used my Amex Offer. Not sure if it will work for 10X or $75 off $250 Spend, hopefully both. I will provide update when the offers go through.

Yes AUs can also use. Both our college kids are AU. Must find and load the offer and use their card.

I did that with a $40 off offer earlier this year. It worked when I prepaid an amount equal to the threshold to get the discount.

I've just added this to my card. I'll try it out to see if it works. I also got the 10X bonus for my WFlex MF payment.

Do you think the $250 is the total amount including taxes or just the room rate? I have a reservation coming up that is just short if it excludes taxes so upgrading the room slightly with increased gross cost would actually net cheaper but wouldn’t do that if I don’t get the $75. I’m guessing “totaling amount” would include taxes?

Not sure. This is from the T&C: Offer only valid on room rate and room charges.

Thanks for the report @wjarcher I just tried paying on one of our cards. If this works, combined with the earlier promo that worked this means we got a nice discount on our MF this year. :banana:

UPDATE: $75 Credit from Amex Marriott Offer has been posted. I prepaid $250 MF for WKORVN for next year. I also received 10X points from Amex too.

Ditto with me. Prepaid $250 in maintenance fees and successfully received the $75 credit.

With all of these offers, I'm starting to wonder if I should prepay the rest of my MF for next year by the end of the month to take advantage of the 10X Bonvoy bonus or wait to see if they have another offer? I cashed in one Marriott offer by partially prepaying some MF in July. Now a couple of months later this comes along. I'm really liking this Bonvoy Brilliant card - it's more than paid for itself this year.

Of course, my Canadian Bonvoy card has gotten zero offers and very limited point bonuses...a 35k certificate just doesn't cut it anymore - they are pretty well useless. Guess which card is getting canceled at renewal in February? :LOL:
