Our Verdict
Best bonus on this card has been 100,000 points (or 105,000 points when it was the SPG card – although that was really 35,000 SPG points that would now be worth 105k points). This comes with the extra $100 statement credit. The really nice thing about this offer is that there is no lifetime language, meaning you can get this bonus even if you’ve had this card before. I believe that the Chase/American Express Marriott rules still apply to this no lifetime language offers, but I don’t know that for sure. This is definitely worth doing/considering if you’ve already had the card and even worth considering if you haven’t. I would add this to the best credit card bonuses, but it’s not a public bonus so I won’t. As always if you have any questions about American Express cards I’d recommend reading this post first.
