🏨 Unlocking Amex Cashback Offers for Marriott Stays
Welcome to Smart With Points, the podcast where we dive into the world of travelling with miles and points. I'm your host, Jack, and I'm excited to share some fantastic news with you today. If you're planning a hotel stay in the coming months, you're in luck because American Express has just launched two valuable cashback offers for Marriott Bonvoy properties that could save you up to one hundred pounds on your next stay. As I was checking my Amex offers this morning, I spotted these two Marriott deals that vary depending on which card you hold. Let me break down what's available and how you can take advantage of them. There are two different offers currently showing in the Amex app: a seventy-five pound statement credit when you spend two hundred pounds or more at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels, and a one hundred pound statement credit when you spend five hundred pounds or more at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels. From what I can see, the seventy-five pound offer appears on most cards, including the Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card, while the more generous one hundred pound credit is showing up primarily on the American Express Platinum Business Card. Both offers are valid until the 18th of June 2025, giving you plenty of time to plan a stay. They're limited to in-store transactions only, which means you'll need to pay for your stay directly at the hotel rather than pre-paying online. As with all Amex offers, there are some important conditions to note. These offers are valid once per card, the offer applies to participating Marriott Bonvoy properties only, the transaction must be completed by the 18th of June 2025, payment must be made in-store, and the one hundred pound offer is limited to the first fifty thousand cardmembers to save the deal. American Express has provided a comprehensive list of participating Marriott Bonvoy properties across Europe, including hundreds of hotels across Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. This means whether you're planning a city break in Paris, a beach holiday in Spain, or a business trip in London, you'll likely find a participating hotel that suits your needs. For those of you who hold multiple American Express cards, this is a perfect opportunity to stack benefits. Here's how I plan to make the most of this deal: save the offer to all eligible cards in your wallet, if planning a longer stay, consider splitting the payment across multiple cards to trigger each offer, combine with any ongoing Marriott Bonvoy promotions for even greater savings, and if you have Marriott Bonvoy status, remember this stacks with your usual elite benefits. Is this a good deal? Absolutely! The seventy-five pounds back on two hundred pounds spend represents a 37.5% return, while the one hundred pounds back on five hundred pounds gives you a 20% discount. Both are excellent values for hotel stays. If you're planning any hotel stays between now and June 2025, I highly recommend saving these offers to your American Express cards immediately. With the one hundred pound offer capped at fifty thousand cardmembers, you'll want to secure your spot. Even if you don't have immediate travel plans, saving the offer costs nothing and gives you the flexibility to use it should an opportunity arise in the next few months.
