Earlier we posted that American Express has added new restrictive language to Marriott credit cards. Interestingly referral links do not have this new language yet and instead state:
Welcome offer not available to applicants who (i) have or have had The Ritz-Carlton® Credit Card from JPMorgan or the J.P. Morgan Ritz-Carlton Rewards® Credit Card in the last 30 days, (ii) have acquired the Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful™ Credit Card from Chase, the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card from Chase, or the Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card from Chase in the last 90 days, or (iii) received a new Card Member bonus or upgrade offer for the Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful™ Credit Card from Chase, the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card from Chase, or the Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card from Chase in the last 24 months.
I suspect this language will be added very soon so two things:
- Apply ASAP if you plan to use this workaround
- Check terms before applying to ensure the terms haven’t been updated
Please do not share your American Express referrals in the comments below. You can share them in this linked post instead.
