Our Verdict
We reported previously that this bonus spend offer was coming, and Marriott reached out to let us know the offer will go live today, 2/24. (Thanks to Dansdeals who found the direct registration link.)
By spending in exact $25k increments, you land up back to the old SPG Amex reward rates, e.g. if you spend $25k you’ll get 75k total points (50k from regular earn + 25k from bonus) which is 3x Marriott points per dollar, the equivalent of 1x SPG point per dollar. Depending on how you value these points, it could become a nice option for everyday spend.
I have an offer on my biz card but not the personal. Keep trying but keep getting the open by invitation only message.
Still no luck registering after trying for multiple days. Have some business spend I would have used this card for if I could register but since I cannot, will use Freedom Unlimited instead.
DP: I got this card on the last possible day (2/13 I think it was?) and wasn’t targeted initially, but now it let me register.
I was able to successfully register my Brilliant card tonight. I then had an on-line chat with AMEX, and the service rep confirmed my Brilliant card was registered and is eligible for the promotion. Was surprised since I didn’t think it was going to work, but apparently it did. I was NOT targeted, and did not receive an e-mail (nor did it show up on AMEX Offers).
This offer is still unavailable unless you’ve been targeted.
Yep same here and had card for years. Honestly I am not all that beat up over it but I check periodically to see if I have been targeted as things may change and this might become more interesting to me.
Same here
My Bonvoy Brilliant is now eligible to enroll, before it wasn’t. Coupled with Platinum status, might be worth it to buy a few candy bars on it.
Lucky you, my Brilliant is still not targeted. Bummer, looking for a nice spend bonus to work on while I cool down on apps for a month or two.
I haven’t seen any mention here or in the terms of the promo about when they will provide the bonus points. Anyone know?
I’m curious about this as well. Would hope that they post as soon as you do the $25k spend. If not then, then they really better post by the statement date of the spend period.
Unfortunately not. I had a statement close several days ago with over 25k spend and while the regular 50k points have posted to marriott, the bonus 25k is not reflected anywhere on my statement or in my account..
Ditto. They better post by the next statement date at least. If we have to wait until the end of the year, that is no bueno.
I decided to do a chat with Amex about this. They said:
Here are the bonus details: Solicited Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card Members who register by 7th April, 2019 can earn 25,000 bonus points after each time they spend $25,000 in eligible purchases on their Card from February 24, 2019 through December 31, 2019 up to a maximum of 100,000 bonus points.
The Bonus points will be posted to their Bonvoy member account 10 – 12 weeks after you reach each of the Purchase Requirements.
Oops, wrong link, please delete comment.
Just a heads up that this still seems targeted. My fiance was able to register just fine, but the only link that works for me is the refer a friend one. All others say they are for solicited card members only.
Still nothing here and I should qualify. I am honestly on the fence as to whether this is worth it given the current state of the Marriott program but perhaps Amex is going to make my decision for me.
Same boat. “We’re sorry. This promotion is only open to invited Card Members.” Should qualify.
Yeah and I didn’t get targeted for the business offers either. Despite considerable spend on both up to the devaluation last summer.
Somehow I got “AN EXCLUSIVE OFFER: SPEND $5,000 AND GET 7,500 POINTS EACH MONTH FOR SIX MONTHS, UP TO 45,000 POINTS” from business version.
Seem better than regular spg.
I got this offer too
