Amex and Marriott have teamed up with an excellent new (targeted) Amex Offer to help you save on an upcoming stay at Marriott hotels in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.
Spend $500 or more and you'll get $100 right back as a statement credit, giving you up to 20% off a hotel stay. The terms of the Amex Offer show it's valid from today through Aug. 20, but that doesn't mean you have to complete your stay by that deadline: You could book a prepaid reservation for later in the year or even into 2026 and still put this offer to use.
It's worth noting that this offer is not valid with the following brands: Marriott Vacation Club, Marriott Grand Residence Club, Design Hotels, Protea Hotels, Marriott Executive Apartments, Homes & Villas by Marriott Bonvoy, Vistana Signature Network and Vistana Residence Network. Given that many of those brands don't even have properties in the Americas, where this offer is valid, it shouldn't be too limiting.
But this isn't the only Amex Offer out there. We're also seeing reports of some Amex cardholders being targeted for an even better offer of $100 back after spending $375. If you're lucky enough to find this one, you could get an even bigger discount on your next Marriott stay.
Regardless of which offer you're targeted for, this is a great way to save on a night or two at Marriott hotels. Even if you're booking with points, you could add this card as your payment method to save on incidentals.
While the terms suggest it can't be used for gift card purchases, that often isn't the case for in-person purchases. If you've got a Marriott property in your area that sells gift cards (not all do), you could try buying a gift card at the front desk for an upcoming stay outside of the Americas or even use it for reservations beyond the Aug. 20 expiration date.
Like all Amex Offers, these deals are targeted – they may not be available to all cardholders. Fortunately, it seems like many *amex platinum card* and *amex gold card* are targeted as well as some business and co-branded Marriott cards, too.
Got Marriott Bonvoy® status through a credit card like the Amex Platinum or the *bonvoy brilliant*? Even better – that should carry over no problem to your reservation. So long as you pay with the card you've added this Amex Offer to, you're all set.
As with all Amex offers, you can reach the spending requirement over multiple transactions – there's no requirement you spend the full $500 in one fell swoop. If you've got multiple stays coming up between now and Aug. 20, you hit that $500 (or $375) spending mark in multiple transactions.

Where to Find Amex Offers
If you haven't used Amex Offers before, think of them as digital coupons exclusively for Amex cardholders for purchases like airfare or hotels as well as dining, entertainment, or everyday shopping. Add this one to your Amex card, use that card to book an eligible Marriott stay, and Amex will give you money right back for the discount within a few days as a statement credit on your account.
To check if you're targeted, simply log into your American Express app and scroll down near the bottom of the screen and there should be a box called “Offers”.
If you're using the desktop version of the American Express website, you'll find Amex Offers about halfway down the homepage. Here, you can view all the Amex Offers that are currently available, see which ones you've already added to your card, and even review your lifetime savings with the Amex Offers program.
Just remember that if you have multiple Amex cards, you'll need to toggle through them all, as the offers will be different for each card. If you see an offer you like, simply add it 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.
Thrifty Tip: Amex displays a maximum of 100 offers at a time. If you're not seeing the one you want, try adding a handful to your card, logging out, and then logging back in to see if you get some new ones!

Bottom Line
This is a great new Amex Offer to save an easy $100 on an upcoming Marriott stay this summer.
While the offer is only valid through Aug. 20, you should have no problem booking a prepaid rate for a later date to trigger this credit – so long as you book before that deadline. But act fast: Amex Offers like these tend to disappear quickly as travelers gobble them up.

Offer appeared on my Bonvoy business card
Mine showed up and was linkable to my Bonvoy Brilliant card. So super easy to get this one completed with something already on the books.
Nick, you know how heavily your audience uses the Delta Amex. Burying that info at the bottom of the article is… come on man.
