American Express has added a great new offer for upcoming stays at Marriott hotels. If you spend $250 or more on a Marriott hotel stay, you'll get $50 back. That's up to 20% off your stay with Marriott!
This Marriott Amex offer is a one-time statement credit which is valid for stays between Jan. 10 all the way through March 31, 2022. And it's good for Marriott properties in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
If you've got travel plans through the winter and early spring and a Marriot property fits in, this is an easy way to save up to 20% on your hotel. While this offer is targeted, it seems to be very widely available. Log in to your American Express Account and see if you can add it to your card.
This promotion is valid for almost any Marriott brand except for the following: Marriott Vacation Club, Design Hotels, Protea Hotels, Marriott Executive Apartments, Homes & Villas by Marriott International, and Vistana Signature Experiences.
Just be sure to book directly with Marriott, and the credit should kick in automatically. Got Marriott status through a credit card like the Platinum Card® from American Express? Even better – that should carry over no problem to your reservation.
As with all Amex offers, you can reach the spending requirement over multiple transactions. There is no requirement you spend the full $250 at once. That means if you book one one-night Marriott stay this month and another in February, it will trigger the credit after you cross the $250 threshold. Just keep in mind that only room rates and charges to your room count towards that $250 total.
Where to Find Amex Offers
If you haven’t used Amex Offers before, simply log into your American Express account and scroll down near the bottom of the screen and there should be a box called Amex Offers & Benefits (this is available through the Amex mobile app as well). If you see an offer you like, simply add the offer to the card and make a qualifying purchase at that business with your card. You should receive a statement credit for the offer within a few days of making a purchase.

Bottom Line
This is one of the better Amex offers we've seen for Marriott properties. If you've got travel coming up through the winter, it should be easy to put this to use to reduce the cost of your stay at a Marriott property.
This is just the latest Amex offer that makes it easy to get cashback (or earn bonus points). And these offers are fantastic, as they're simple ways to save on the spending you're going to do anyhow – and an easy way to justify paying the cost of a credit card's annual fee.
These offers change almost daily, so add this one now before it disappears.
Hey Nick, I know we should never rely on CSR’s to be fully knowledgeable on their own products or services, but I was just using the Amex chat feature to inquire about this offer. The Amex agent consulted with the “dedicated team” and they said that the $250 charge has to be in a single charge. Is it your experience that all the Amex hotel offers allow for multiple charges to qualify for the spend requirements? Thanks
Hey Michael,
That is interesting. I have never had a problem doing this over multiple charges with Amex Offers, but I also haven’t attempted this at a Marriott property.
