Our Verdict
Last year we saw a 100,000 point offer and a $150 credit, but the credit required spend on U.S. Advertising in select media. This new offer is 25,000 less points but the $150 credit is much easier to earn as any purchases qualify. Because of this increased flexibility I will add this to our list of the best credit card bonuses.

What counts as "eligible purchases?"
I read all the terms, but it does not define what falls until eligible purchases.
"Earn up to $150 back in statement credits on eligible purchases made on your new Card within the first 3 months of Card Membership.†"
never mind, seems that any purchase qualifies
Yes, but do I need to spend $150 to get $150 back, or is it any purchase triggers the $150 credit?
Yeah it was NOT very clear at all on that. My guess is once you spend $150, you get $150 back? No idea.
Did you end up applying to this card? @guest_1201936
@guest_1220928 yes. The $150 credit appeard to be any random charge. Got it right away
Wow, so basically the AF is waived. Thanks

100k and $150 back - public link
that's for the PERSONAL card, this post is for the BUSINESS card
I just applied and got this card a few days before this offer launched with the $150 credit. Amex chat saying it’s not possible to change offer but I read some things about incremental bonuses. Anybody have any luck with something like this before?
anyone mind referring me to Marriott Bonvoy rewards?
They have a refer a friend program.
Send the referral to ost0023 at gmail.com

Done
Are they still precluding people who had the SPG Business card from getting the sign up bonus for this?
I had Starwood business AmEx and closed it 5 years ago, and just got approved for this one, so guess not?
From line 1 of T&C ——
Welcome offer not available to applicants who have or have had this product or the Starwood Preferred Guest® Business Credit Card from American Express.
Would it say it in the popup if one will not receive the bonus due to the Starwood Biz card?
Is it possible open under my name, and use spouse's name as business name then use spouse marriot reward number?
Applied on a whim, thinking I was going to get the amex SUB ineligibility popup as I've been in popup jail for 10 months now. Was approved instantly with no pop up. Probably not the best offer I could've gotten on the card, but with lower monthly spend and flexible statement credit AND no pop up, I guess I'll take it.
Anybody ever seen a NLL offer for this card before?
The welcome bonus limit sucks across Marriott cards.
