Save £100 on a £400 Marriott ‘luxury’ hotel booking with a new American Express offer
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
A new Marriott Bonvoy ‘luxury’ offer has appeared on many American Express cards.
You will receive £100 cashback when you spend £400 in selected upscale Marriott Bonvoy hotels across the UK and continental Europe.
It runs to 31st December.
Cumulative spend DOES count.
Oddly, I don’t have this offer on my Marriott Bonvoy American Express card – I only have it on my Platinum card and my wife’s Preferred Rewards Gold. Neither of us have it on our British Airways cards.
UK properties include The Langley, reviewed here, and these London hotels (click for the websites):
You will find participating European hotels in most major cities – there are 45 hotels taking part in total.
There are a lot of great hotels here, including the iconic Venice ones, so you may be able to squeeze in a decent Autumn break. My breakfast photo from St Regis Venice is above!
£400 won’t necessarily get you far at these places but if you have the offer on multiple Amex cards you could split the bill at check-out and trigger multiple bonuses.
If you ARE booking any Marriott properties on this list, do drop a note to our hotel booking partner Emyr Thomas via this page. He can get you added benefits – including free breakfast, a food and drink credit and an upgrade – via the STARS and Luminous programmes runs by Marriott for luxury travel agents. You will pay the same as the flexible rate shown online and you pay at the hotel as usual so there’s nothing to lose.
Don’t forget to register for the new Marriott promotion
The new Bonvoy bonus points promotion runs from 21st September to 15th December.
You MUST register via this link before your stay.
You earn 2,000 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points per stay, starting wtih your second stay during the offer period.
Note that this is per stay and not per night. There is no limit to the number of times you can earn the bonus, although it is not generous enough to justify changing hotels each night on a longer stay.
Got a Marriott Bonvoy American Express card? You will an extra 2,000 points for each Marriott Bonvoy brand you stay at during the promotion, starting with your second brand. Subsequent stays at the same brand do not trigger the 2,000 points.
PS. Historically these offers have coincided with a ‘£50 cashback on £200 spend’ offer at mid-market Marriott hotels. There is no sign of this yet.
