The Offer
No direct link, targeted offer
- American Express Marriott cards are showing the following AmEx offers:
- Earn 4 additional points per $1 spent on participating Marriott hotels on up to $7,500 in spend
- Earn 8 additional points per $1 spent at U.S. gas stations on up to $7,500 in spend
- Earn 8 additional points per $1 spent at U.S. restaurants on up to $7,500 in spend
- Looks like there are multiple versions of the gas station/restaurant offers with a maximum of 8x points.
The Fine Print
- Valid until 10/31/20
- Must save offer to card
Our Verdict
This is in addition to the 6x on grocery stores that was previously announced (now ended). These are in addition to the 2x points you’d normally earn (e.g U.S. restaurants would become 9x on the Bonvoy Brilliant card).

Uh oh, anybody noticing problems with this round of points not (yet) posting? Ok, have gone real light with this one so far….. Had the offer on my Amex Bonvoy Brilliant card at 10x (2x + 8x for gas) So far, I’m seeing only indications of the 2x to be credited for modest purchases at Speedway…. (same with purchases at restaurants, just the 2x — even though I’m supposed to be getting 9x total there too)
Ah, but wait, see the fine print for each “offer.” “Points received from this offer will be posted to your Marriott Bonvoy member account up to 12 weeks after the end of each month. ” (was there fine print like this for the last grocery promo — where we got instant extra points credited, along with the regular points?)
So would that mean we won’t see any of the current promo extra points for up to three months after each month of spending? That’s horrendous — lots of time for the RAT teams to claw back (or block) any extra points for what they might deem “cash equivalent” spending — long , long after we’ve done the spend….. (Not good — by contrast, my spends at speedway using CSR & IHG Prem are nicely posting with the expected extra points on the fly (5x and 7x)
Anybody else using Amex Bonvoy seeing full promo points credited on the fly (that is, showing up in your account when each corresponding purchases post?)
once again, the amex devils in the details.
I enrolled both my Bonvoy and Bonvoy Business cards for all three of the Amex Offers listed in the post. I’ve spent on dining only on both cards. First statements since enrolling have now posted and I only received the additional points on my Bonvoy. Only the standard 4x dining points posted on my Bonvoy Business. Amex chat rep referred to the same 12 weeks language, but I’m skeptical that I’ll get the bonus points. I assume Amex will end up saying these offers are only valid on one card.
Would amex claw back if I got vgc at a gas station
(or more likely to be common, purchases of regular 3rd party gift cards — like for the current uber promo…… May be nothing to “claw back,” as so far, my speedway purchases at SW are only crediting at 2x — not the 10x….)
Got it on my Amex Bonvoy card.
I got extra 8x on gas and extra 8x on restaurants(10x total) on my plain Amex Bonvoy. Also the extra 4x for Marriott spend to match gas and restaurants at 10x total.
This essentially matches the Chase offer, but extends the dates out to 10/31/20 instead of 9/15/20 for Chase.
Bummer Costco gas doesn’t take Amex, but I’ll still use for restaurant spend wherever they take Amex.
Brilliant was +7 restaurants, +8 Gas +4 Stays
Business is +6 for both and +4 Stays
Bonvoy Amex is +8 on restaurants ONLY w/ no +4 for Marriott stays
“Our Verdict
This is in addition to the 6x on grocery stores that was previously announced.”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the 6x grocery bonus expire July 31st?
I thought it did too- if not, I may use it!
Made clearer
This isn’t targeted – promotion that allows you to earn 10x on gas, dining and Marriott hotels through October 31

Thanks AMEX! Still bitter that I can’t get the bonus’ from chase to activate.
Bonvoy = +4 hotels, +8 gas, and +8 restaurants
Bonvoy Biz = +4 hotels, +6 gas, and +6 restaurants
Bonvoy Brilliant = +4 hotels and +7 restaurants
On Brilliant, got +4 Marriott properties, +7 restaurants, +8 gas
Odd there was no gas bonus on my Brilliant, but I did have quite a bit of grocery spend on the Brilliant over the last 3 months. Coincidence?
Does it stack with $300 Bonvoy brilliant credit?
