We’re seeing a new Amex Offer for Marriott hotels that allows you to earn 7x Marriott Bonvoy points on Marriott hotel stays within Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
This is different from the typical “Spend and Get” Amex offers for Marriott hotels, but it has the potential to be lucrative.
You have until October 31, 2024 to take advantage on your upcoming hotel stays; however, with a cap to the number of cardholders who can register, you’ll want to act quickly before space fills up.
Marriott Hotels in North America: Get 7x Points
The new Marriott Amex Offer requires manual registration before they will apply on your card. Head to your American Express account online or in the app to see if it’s available to you.
Once registered, you’ll get 7x Marriott Bonvoy points when you use your registered card at a Marriott property in Canada, the United States, or Mexico. The maximum number of bonus points you can earn with this Amex Offer is 12,500 Marriott Bonvoy points.
This offer has a registration cap of 30,000 cardholders, so be sure to log in to your Amex online dashboard to register now so you don’t miss out.
Keep an eye out for the offer on both the Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card and the Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card, which would also happen to provide the highest earning rate on Marriott purchases.
Because the credit is applied on the Amex side, the discount will kick in based on the final amount charged by the Marriott hotel. That means you can combine it with other ongoing deals, such as Edmonton’s Best Hotels, too.
The Amex Offer is valid until October 31, 2025. As usual, this refers to the transaction date of your hotel stay, so any hotel stay that ends by that date (excluding prepaid stays) should work.
The Fine Print
The most relevant part of the terms and conditions is as follows:
Until 31/10/2025, you can earn 7 bonus Marriott Bonvoy® points for every dollar charged to your registered Card for qualifying purchases made at participating Marriott Bonvoy properties in Canada, Mexico, or the United States, via the Marriott Bonvoy mobile application, or online at www.marriott.com and subsequently posted to your account, up to 12,500 points. The number of bonus Marriott Bonvoy® points is calculated by multiplying each eligible transaction by 7, subject to rounding. In the case of a purchase made during the offer period, it may not qualify if the registered Card is charged by the merchant on a different date, and that date occurs after the offer ends.
Offer valid for stays at participating Marriott Bonvoy properties in Canada, Mexico, the United States, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. The following brands are excluded: Marriott Vacation Club, Homes and Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, Vistana, Bvlgari, Protea Hotels by Marriott, City Express, Four Points Express by Sheraton, Marriott Executive Apartments, Apartments by Marriott Bonvoy, Residences by Marriott International, Sonder, Four Points Flex, Ritz-Carlton Reserve, and Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection. Reservations must be made directly with Marriott online at www.marriott.com, via the Marriott Bonvoy App, or by calling 1-888-236-2427. Not valid on bookings made through travel agents or travel sites, including American Express Travel Services. Offer valid only on room rates and room charges. Not valid on stays paid for before the Offer Period start date or after the Offer Period end date. Not valid on flights, rental cars, and vacation packages. Excludes purchases of gift cards, retail purchases, dining, property amenities, events, and purchases of Marriott Bonvoy® points. Only the first 30,000 cards to be successfully registered are eligible for the offer. Offer is non-transferable. You can earn a maximum of 12,500 Marriott Bonvoy® points per registered Card during the offer period.
As you can see, there’s quite a number of excluded brands, although their collective footprint in North America (especially Canada and the US) is quite limited.
For those of you who play the game in two-player mode or more, note that most Marriott hotels require that you pay with a credit card that’s in your own name.
Enhancing 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 Marriott stays with our in-house travel agency Prince Collection would entitle you to additional benefits for no additional cost.
Since you pay at the property directly, you’ll still be eligible for the bonus points through this Amex Offer.
Luxury hotels like 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 DOUGLAS Vancouver and the W Montreal, can be booked via Marriott Luminous.
