Our Verdict
Not as good as the recent 150,000 points + $125 deal as that was more flexible and came with the other $125 credit. Also not as good as the other recent deal that was five free night certificates up to 50,000 each. We won’t be adding this to our list of the best credit card bonuses because of that. Read these things everybody should know about American Express cards before signing up if you do decide to apply. Marriott also recently applied for a trademark for a new business credit card so getting this card could affect your eligibility for that card if it ever launches.
