Limited-Time Welcome Offers Added To Amex Marriott Bonvoy Cards – Forbes Advisor – Technologist

Paired with these impressive welcome offers, Amex’s co-branded Marriott personal cards offer great value to customers who are able to maximize the cards’ benefits.

Earn Free Nights at Luxurious Stays

In addition to the 185,000 points that come as a welcome bonus on the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card, cardholders receive 1 Free Night Award each year after your card renewal month, also worth 85,000 points. Cardholders of the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express® Card don’t receive an automatic free night but they can earn 1 Free Night Award worth 50,000 points after spending $15,000 on eligible purchases in a calendar year.

Between your free night awards, the welcome offer and points earned on card spending, you can book luxurious stays at Marriott properties worldwide. With a bit of research, you can find a variety of Marriott stays at valuable point redemptions. For example, The Westin Cozumel offers a beautiful beachfront stay for as low as 30,000 points per night.

By being flexible with your travel dates and doing some research across Marriott’s portfolio, the points earned with either of these cards can go a long way when booking upscale stays.
