Good new Amex hotel cashback offers released – Marriott, Hyatt, Thistle and more

American Express has launched a new wave of hotel cashback deals. Whatever you are planning this Autumn, you are likely to find a deal for you.

As usual, these offers may or may not appear somewhere on your American Express account. You need to look under the ‘Offers’ tab for every Amex card you hold, and ‘Save’ those offers which you want to use.

Here are the new deals:

Get £100 back on £250 spend at Hyatt

• This offer expires on 31st December

• It is an excellent deal, obviously, and will be even better if Hyatt lanches a generous Autumn promotion. It covers selected European countries only. I am 100% certain to be taking advantage of this offer given the scale of the discount and the great properties included.

• Remember that you can get an even better deal if you book via Hyatt Prive, which gets you free breakfast, a guaranteed upgrade and a hotel food and drink credit. Learn about Hyatt Prive here.

Get £50 back on £200 spend at Marriott

• This offer expires on 28th February 2022

• All of the hotels are in Europe

Get £30 back on £100 spend at Thistle

• This offer expires on 31st December

• There are nine hotels included, eight in London and one in Poole. The Heathrow hotel is included – this is not in a great condition, to put it mildly, but the hotel backs onto the long-term car park where you can hop on the driverless pods and be in T5 in a few seconds. The pods restart on 14th October.

Get £60 back on £200 spend at Hard Rock Hotel London, The Clermont, Guoman

• This offer expires on 31st December

• It covers (all in London) the two The Clermont hotels (ex-Amba), Amba Marble Arch, The Tower at St Katherine Docks, Great Cumberland Place, The Royal Horseguards, Hard Rock Hotel London.

The following existing Amex hotel cashback deals are still running (I haven’t included the very long list of deals which are expiring this month):

• £100 back on £350 spend at Leading Hotels of the World, ends 15th October
• £70 back on £200 spend at Millennium & Copthorne, ends 31st October
• £100 back on £400 spend with Preferred Hotels, ends 30th November
• £75 back on £350 spend with The Doyle Collection, ends 30th November
• £100 back on £400 spend at One Aldwych in London, ends 30th December
