The Fine Print

  • Expires 4/10/21

  • Reservations must be made online at Marriott.com, via the Marriott Bonvoy App or by calling 1-888-236-2427.

Our Verdict

This is a fairly standard deal we see from AmEx & Marriott.  In the past purchasing gift cards at the front desk has triggered the offer despite the terms.

I can confirm that this Amex Offer works on multiple charges. Live chatted with an Amex rep to ask the question and was told yes, and they made notes on my account in case it didn’t post on its own. But it did.

02/23 – $52.06 charged at Four Points Sheraton
03/01 – $180.22 charged at Springhill Suites
03/02 – $50 credit posted

Any thoughts as to if Costa Rica is considered “Caribbean” for purposes of this promotion?

I’d like to see Marriott have another 15% off gift cards sale, but I’ll take this offer too. 😁

WOW, Marriott stepping up their game on Amex offers, presumably to compensate for annual fees and lack of travel.

Just checked SO marriott for the below referenced $10 restaurant offer and did NOT find that, but instead found this preferable offer for $15 off $15+ wireless telephone service.

I haven’t seen anyone post this or any DoC post on this, but as I was adding this offer to my marriott biz card I saw another offer that surprised me:

“Spend $10 or more at U.S. restaurants, earn $10 back once a month, through 2021”

I checked all of my cards for variations on this and it appears this is a marriott specific promotion as referenced in the T&C below:

DETAILS
From the time you enroll through 12/31/21, earn a $10 statement credit after spending $10 or more each month in purchases at U.S. restaurants (including take-out and delivery) on your Card. Earn up to a total of $110 in statement credits. Terms apply.

OFFER TERMS
You must first enroll in the offer by adding the offer to your Card. Only purchases made with your enrolled Card are eligible. Offer to enroll is available to existing Marriott Bonvoy™ American Express® Card Members who are Basic Card Members prior to January 1, 2021. Limit of 1 enrolled Card per Card Member. You are eligible to enroll starting from February 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. Offer ends December 31, 2021. Eligible purchases can be made by the Basic Card Member only. Your enrollment of an eligible American Express Card for this offer extends only to that Card. Starting from the time you enroll through December 31, 2021 (“Purchase Period”), you will earn one $10 statement credit each month after spending $10 or more in combined eligible purchases on your Marriott Bonvoy™ American Express® Card at US restaurants per month, during the Purchase Period, up to a total of $110 in statement credits. You may not earn a statement credit for purchases at a restaurant located within another establishment (e.g. a restaurant located inside a hotel, casino, or event venue).

Full terms shrunk the post formatting, so replying with the rest below:

“For example, purchases made at a restaurant located within a hotel may be recognized as a purchase at a hotel, not a restaurant. You also will not earn the statement credits for purchases at bars, nightclubs, cafeterias, and convenience stores. Eligible purchases are purchases for goods and services minus returns and other credits. Eligible purchases do NOT include fees or interest charges, cash advances, purchases of travelers checks, purchases or reloading of prepaid cards, purchases of gift cards, person–to–person payments, or purchases of other cash equivalents. Additional terms and restrictions apply. Merchants are assigned codes based on what they primarily sell. A purchase will not be eligible if the merchant’s code is not eligible. Purchases made through a third-party payment account or on an online marketplace (with multiple retailers) will not be eligible. A purchase may not be eligible if the merchant submits the purchase using a mobile or wireless card reader or if you use a mobile or digital wallet. Please allow 8-12 weeks after an eligible purchase is charged to your Card Account for statement credit(s) to be posted to the Account. Please call the number on the back of the Card if statement credits have not posted after 12 weeks from the date of purchase. To be eligible for this offer, Card Account(s) must not be canceled and not past due at the time of statement credit fulfillment.

Thanks guys. Added to AX Marriott Business.
I saw the offer on Business Platinum and Blue Business too.

Your offer has been added. Remember to use your enrolled Card to pay and receive the statement credit.

In the past, the offers have been written both to allow the charges to be cumulative and to require larger single charges. This one seems to require the $200+ in a single charge.

I’m not sure I agree. It doesn’t say that specifically, but it also doesn’t say it works on cumulative charges. Very strange for Amex…

Received this…one question: can this $200 be spread across 2 stays (as in, two separate stays of $100) or does it have to be one charge of $200? The T&Cs are confusing.

For the last few offers, this has always worked for marriott and hilton cumulative spend to meet this offer.

I read this one as needing to be done with a minimum of $200 in a single transaction.

“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 $200 USD as posted to your account, following conversion from a foreign currency, if applicable, in accordance with your Card Member Agreement.”

I’d like to be wrong on this one! The flexibility to have multiple charges accumulate would be preferable, but usually there is language specifically allowing that like “one or more”.

Yeah, that’s how i read it too, so I hope I’m wrong. I have a 22.5K just for you offer and I need 3 stays. Would love to split this between 2.
