Marriott has brought back its co-branded credit card spending bonus from last year but with slightly better rewards. It's also available on cards from both Amex and now Chase this time, offering 10,000 bonus points after you spend at least $7,000 between July 27 and September 30, 2023. This is quite a large amount you'll have to spend in two months, but it might appeal to some Marriott cardholders. This isn't a targeted promotion, but you must register.

Earn 10,000 Bonus Marriott Points After Spending $7,000

All Marriott cardholders can enrol in this promotion to earn 10,000 bonus points after spending $7,000 between July 27 and September 30, 2023. This promotion essentially gives members 1.43 additional bonus points per dollar spent. However, you must spend the $7,000 after registration and before the deadline. Awardwallet readers typically redeem Marriott Bonvoy points at 0.95¢, so this promotion is essentially netting you $100 in points with $7,000 in spending.

Unfortunately, this promotion doesn't count cumulative spending across cards. All spending to the $7,000 threshold must be on the same card. However, members have the option of applying this promotion to separate cards and earning 10,000 bonus points more than once, but they would still need to spend $7,000 on each card.

• Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful™ Card
• Marriott Bonvoy™ Credit Card
• The Ritz-Carlton™ Credit Card

Our Take

Last year, this promotion gave members 7,500 bonus points on $7,500 of spending — 1 bonus point per $1 spent with a pretty high minimum threshold. And last year's promo only applied to Marriott Bonvoy cards from American Express.  This year's promotion is a little better, with a slightly lower threshold and almost 50% more bonus points.

Nevertheless, I can only see this as a decent promotion for those already planning to spend $7,000 on their Marriott credit card in the next few weeks. That's because it's not a large bonus — only a little more than 1 additional point per dollar — and you'll need significant spending to earn the bonus. The best way to maximize your earnings would be spending on your card's bonus categories, such as Marriott Bonvoy stays.

What do you think? Will you take advantage of this Marriott credit card spending bonus?
