Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Get 10,000 Marriott Bonvoy points with £100 of food and beverage spend

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

If you have the Marriott Bonvoy American Express credit card (review here), you should see a new offer available via the Amex app or website.

If you spend £100 at selected bars and restaurants in Marriott hotels in London, you will receive a bonus of 10,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.

We value a Marriott Bonvoy point at 0.5p, so this is a decent £50 return on your spending. You may also receive 6 points per £1 for your Bonvoy Amex spend if it is treated as hotel spend.

Get 7,500 Marriott Bonvoy points with £100 of food and beverage spend

The wording implies that – because this offer is aimed at non-hotel guests – you won’t receive the 10,000 points if you charge your meal or drinks to your room. This isn’t necessarily the case at all of the restaurants and bars listed, but for safety I would pay separately instead of – if a guest – charging the meal to the room.

Participating restaurants and bars can be found at Marriott County Hall, Marriott Kensington, Marriott Grosvenor Square, Marriott Marble Arch, Sheraton Park Lane, Aloft EXCEL, St Pancras Renaissance and Marriott Canary Wharf.

The offer runs to 16th May. You need to opt-in to register via the Amex website, on the statement page for your Marriott Bonvoy American Express card. Cumulative spend is OK.

    I’m getting very very few AmEx offers on any of my cards.The Platinum Card seems to have the fewest offers for me. Most of my spend is on the Marriott Bonvoy card and I didn’t receive this offer. Shame

    • John says:
      14 Feb14 February 10:36

      Ditto, Amex platinum offers dried up months ago. I’m due for renewal in April and will consider switching to one of Barclay’s Avios cards.

    • can2 says:
      14 Feb14 February 10:48

      It’s been like that for me for a while already. Even my free Virgin card has more offers…

    • TGLoyalty says:
      14 Feb14 February 12:49

      Yup I think platinum is now verging on a joke

      Didn’t even get the Mayborne Hotel group offer on it which you’d think would surely be the target customer.

      Gold continues to get great offers.

      • Lady London says:

        Do you think it’s a personnel issue – has the person curating the Plat offers just fallen asleep?

  • polly says:
    14 Feb14 February 06:10

    Gilrays, County Hall, our fav spot to use this offer. Been very useful having it, as our Amex spend is mainly on Bonvoy. Use it for our W Sentosa stays.
    Avios earned on BAPP, WE spend now… Lucky we both got it saved now.

  • Neal says:
    14 Feb14 February 06:12

    I have the Amex Bonvoy card and don’t have this offer. The offers seem to be hit and miss for me.

  • nick says:
    14 Feb14 February 08:01

    Qualifying hotels seem to vary. I don’t have Edition or W for example

    • TGLoyalty says:
      14 Feb14 February 12:55

      They actually were there yesterday but they seem to have changed the qualifying locations list.

      Not as good as I like the Edition bar.

  • Frances says:
    14 Feb14 February 08:17

    typical favouring London… The rest of the country doesn’t exist.

    • Andrew. says:

      Which Marriott hotel outside London would you consider to be a destination hotel for your £100 f&b spend?

      Generally, and probably because I spent too much time over the years in hotels for work, I’d consider a provincial hotel restaurant one of the last places I’d choose to eat.

      • ken says:
        14 Feb14 February 11:03

        Which of those London Marriotts would you go to ?.

        Midland Grand has a beautiful space and the set lunch looks decent value.

        The Aloft Excel ? – can’t imagine anything more depressing.

        More than 10,000 restaurants in London – I need some persuading to go to a Marriott.

        • Stephen says:
          14 Feb14 February 12:55

          Midland Grand looks good. Has anyone eaten there? I often find hotel restaurants are depressingly poor value.

        • TGLoyalty says:
          14 Feb14 February 12:59

          Booking Office
          Edition Bar and Berner’s Tavern

          These 3 bill as the hotel so imagine checking out will trigger.

          The luggage Room

          Are 4 places I’d visit on the list vs most others.

          • Stephen says:
            14 Feb14 February 14:15

            Berner’s Tavern looks awesome. Thank you.

          • TGLoyalty says:
            14 Feb14 February 14:48

            Unfortunately they’ve changed the list. It was on there yesterday but not now.

            Booking Office would be my choice from what’s left.

        “I’d consider a provincial hotel restaurant one of the last places I’d choose to eat.”

        If you add “chain” into this sentence then I’d agree. Some cracking independents where food offering is a huge – sometimes the main – driver of business.
        Leeds Marriott did actually have a good steakhouse many years ago. Long since gone and just become a Gino d’Acampo branch so rather proves your point 😀

        • TGLoyalty says:
          14 Feb14 February 14:39

          Parker’s Tavern also a very good bar and restaurant at a Marriott hotel outside London

          Art Yard Bankside (not in offer) is pretty good too.

          The Langley (not in this offer) does have some great food on the menu.

          Madhu’s @ Sheraton LHR (not in offer)

          W Edinburgh looks like it has a couple spots but not visited. I like SushiSamba in The City.

          I actually think the better U.K. provincials hotels could make far better use of hotel bars and restaurants.

          Cogs @ Indigo Coventry is a great example
          Of that. Highly recommend the hotel if you need something in the area.

        • Lady London says:

          Yes I remember eating at a number of country house type hotels in places like Yorkshire or Cheshire when I was up there for work. Always patronised by well heeled local regulars. And some great, really great pubs.

          But as @Secret Squirrel says these nice places are relatively unlikely to be chains.

  • Ross says:
    14 Feb14 February 09:08

    No offer here s far as I can see

  • kevin says:
    14 Feb14 February 10:10

    I think Marriot and American Express needs to appoint a Minister for Levelling up!

    • Mike Hunt says:
      15 Feb15 February 10:53

      Definitely- at least it looks like Doncaster airport is going to be re-opened. It certainly never should have closed.

  • can2 says:
    14 Feb14 February 10:50

    I couldn’t figure out the Iberostar’s 70 Park Ave building, so I clicked the link. They called the interior pics of the hotel as hotel exterior. no branding, nothing, and no exterior picture. Weird.

    • can2 says:
      14 Feb14 February 10:51

      Obviously it is because there is iberostar branding on the exterior, I think..

      • TGLoyalty says:
        14 Feb14 February 14:42

        Not sure why that matters. Iberostar is the brand IHG are selling same as IC or Indigo etc

    • TGLoyalty says:
      14 Feb14 February 14:46

      There anre exterior pictures number 28 and number 30 is the exterior. It’s the white building with the tree next to it and there is no branding on the exterior other than the awning outside the front door.
