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.

    A new credit card emergeth from the dust cloud of the Marriott-Starwood merger.  And if you don’t apply for it within the next 3 days, you may be out of luck.

    The Starwood Preferred Guest® American Express Luxury Card comes with a welcome bonus that can save you hundreds and hundreds on hotel stays.  As well as ongoing benefits like an annual $300 statement credit at participating Marriott hotels, an annual free night on your card anniversary (worth up to 50,000 points), Priority Pass airport lounge membership, and much more!

    Here’s a quick rundown of the card.  We’ll have a full review soon, but in the meantime you can check out the complete scoop over at The Points Guy.

    The information for the Starwood Preferred Guest® American Express Luxury Card has been collected independently by Million Mile Secrets. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.

    Here’s Another Way to Earn a Ton of Marriott Points for Stays at Amazing Hotels

    Let’s have a look at the new AMEX Starwood Luxury card!

    The New AMEX Starwood Luxury Card

    The new AMEX Starwood Luxury Card comes with 100,000 bonus Marriott points after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first 3 months of account opening.  This is a limited-time offer, ending October 31, 2018.

    But most of us in the miles & points hobby will have to apply MUCH sooner than October 31 to get this bonus.  That’s because Chase and AMEX are establishing new rules in just 3 days, on August 26, 2018.  These new rules will make it MUCH harder for folks to open multiple Marriott and Starwood credit cards.

    Check out my reminder post about these rules here.  If you have other Marriott cards, you’ll probably want to apply for this card within the next 3 days.

    In addition to the welcome bonus, you’ll get valuable benefits like:

    The card comes with a $450 annual fee.  That’s high, but you’ll get way more value from this card as long as you spend at least $300 at Marriott hotels a year.  The $300 Marriott statement credit can effectively bring the net annual fee cost down to $150 ($450 annual fee – $300 credit).

    Plus you’ll get lots of additional money-saving perks that can more than offset the annual fee.

    Stay tuned for our full analysis of the card.  But until then, you can read The Points Guy’s detailed review to decide if it’s the right card for you!

    Do you plan to apply for this card before August 26, 2018?
