Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available. View the current offers here.
If you have the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card, you may be able to earn an extra free night certificate.
Amex is offering some Bonvoy cardholders a free night certificate (worth up to 85,000 Bonvoy points) after they spend $4,000 on the card by March 15, 2024. Certain hotels have resort fees.
If you're successful in registering, pay attention to the terms and conditions of the time frame you have to meet the spending requirement, as that varies by cardmember. You should receive your free night certificate within 12 weeks of meeting the spending requirement.
To see if you are eligible, follow this link and fill out your card or online account information.
TPG director of content Nick Ewen was targeted for this offer. He tried to register by logging into his account with his user ID and password, but it errored out. However, he was able to successfully register by entering his card details.
According to our valuations, this free night could be worth up to $714, making this a valuable offer.
Still, it's worth considering the potential trade-offs to taking advantage of it. Four thousand dollars is no small chunk of change, so you may want to pass on this offer if you're working to meet the spending requirement for a more valuable welcome bonus or have other offers that will better maximize your holiday and new-year spending.
If you can earn it, though, this is a fairly easy way to add a valuable free Bonvoy night and save on your 2024 travel plans.
