We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    If you’ve got a Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant™ American Express® Card, you may be targeted for a whopper of an Amex Offers combo worth hundreds of dollars.

    If you’re unfamiliar, Amex Offers is one of the greatest features of American Express cards. They offer statement credits or bonus points for purchases made at specific stores or in spending categories which you may swipe your card anyway. They’re targeted, so each cardholder may see slightly different offers. If you’ve got any of the best American Express credit cards, it’s a good idea to check your offers every week or so — just to make sure you’re not leaving money or points on the table for your upcoming purchases!

    Best Marriott Amex Offers combo we’ve ever seen?

    The Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant™ American Express® Card with a $450 annual fee (see rates and fees) already comes with an all-time high welcome bonus of up to 125,000 points as well as complimentary Platinum elite status for the 2021 status year:

    If that’s not a good enough reason to apply, remember that Amex cards come with super valuable Amex Offers. Currently, Bonvoy Brilliant cardmembers are being targeted for three separate promotions right now, all of which you can achieve simultaneously. They’ll give you hundreds of dollars in value for money you were already planning to spend:

    That first Amex Offer is nothing new — many of us earned that credit well before November. But if you haven’t used yours yet, and if you’re lucky enough to be targeted for all three of these above offers, you’re making a killing. Here’s why these deals are so good:

    To immediately and easily earn this bonus, you could swipe your Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant at Walmart for groceries and perhaps a Walmart gift card you can use next month (the same strategy applies to Target and Amazon). By spending $1,000 at Walmart with your card, you’d earn:

    We estimate Marriott points are worth 0.8 cents per point. Earning 18,000 Marriott points is like earning $144 in Marriott stays. Add the $100 statement credit, and you’ve saved $244 for $1,000 in regular spending. That’s seriously incredible.

    It’s well worth noting that you can get much more than 0.8 cents per Marriott point if you know how to use them. For example, I booked a ski trip at the Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch in Colorado over Christmas week, for which I’m getting a value of 2.9 cents per point (nights cost $2,300+ during those days!). In other words, 18,000 points are worth $520 towards that vacation. Read our post on the best ways to use Marriott points to learn the power of Marriott points.

    Bottom line

    Amex Offers have saved me hundreds of dollars in 2020. And card issuers continue to ramp up their great promotions for their travel credit cards, as their valuable travel benefits are gathering dust in the wake of coronavirus.

    Let us know if you’re targeted for all three of these offers! And subscribe to our newsletter to ensure you don’t miss great credit card promos like this delivered to your inbox once per day.
