This promotion has ended; please review current/active promotions.
Amex and SPG have launched a promo offering up to 15,000 bonus points for meeting a minimum spend on the Marriott Bonvoy™ American Express® Card. The promo is targeted, and people have reported bonus from as low as 2,000 up to 15,000 bonus points. On all the offers you have through April 5, 2018, to register.
Key Terms
You need to register for the promo, although it is worth checking your email, or logging into your account to find out which offer you have been targeted for. So far, it appears as though registration is possible for the following:
- 2,000-point bonus, with a maximum of 4,000 points after spending $1,500
- 3,000-point bonus, with a maximum of 6,000 points after spending $3,000
- 7,500-point bonus, with a maximum of 15,000 points after spending $10,000
Once you have registered for the promo, you will need to meet the spending requirement on your Marriott Bonvoy™ American Express® Card by June 10, 2018.
Bigger Is Not Always Better
Generally, the axiom that the more you buy the better value you get holds true except in this case. Bizarrely the higher earning offers a worse return than the lower earning promos.
Interestingly you get the best value of 1.33 points per dollar after spending $1,500, and the more you spend the lower your per dollar earning rates, which makes you wonder whether Amex and SPG want people to be spending larger amounts on their cards with this promo!
Our Take
While the mechanism of this promo may seem a little odd, it is still well worth checking out, especially when you consider how valuable and flexible Starpoints are. Ultimately whether you take up this promo will depend on how lucrative your return will be, and whether you are willing to shift a significant amount of spending over to the Marriott Bonvoy™ American Express® Card to maximize your earnings.

Another data point: not targeted 🙁
It’s always good to check if you’re targeted. This time didn’t work out but I will try again next time.
Why are all the good deals targeted………………..
I would love to be targeted… I’ll take a look in case I’ve just overlooked the email.
Great to know to be on the lookout, I sometimes just delete emails.
nada for me
I know 5 people with this card. None were targeted. Must be really selective
Where would I find this offer when I sign in?
If any of the links in the post worked for you, that would be all you’d need.
Not targeted 🙁
I guess I wasn’t targeted
Seems like most people targeted dont use their card.
0 for 3; total bummer. Oh well, the last year has already been very good for earning bonus Starpoints. Perhaps I’ll be on the list next time.
Darn, I wasn’t targeted. Could have used some SPG points!
Sounds like the lesser amount is the best. Don’t have the card so doesn’t apply to me. I’m trying to focus on the Chase FU, F and Chase Sapphire.
Really trying to beef up miles with United for SYD.
nothing in my inbox yet!
Click the links!
I can’t register.
sorry!
I got nada
No good for me. Thanks for the heads up.
Can you get this offer if you have the business card?
This particular offer is only for personal cardholders.
The $1,500 spend level looks very good to me.
Trying to get 5 miles for AA
hope you get em.
Did not get this for me 🙂
sorry!
Sadly no go for me.
Looks like I wasn’t targeted, though I only have the business card. I’m assuming business card users aren’t eligible?
that would be a safe assumption.
Thanks for the post!
We’re sorry. This promotion is only open to invited Card Members.

Thank you for your interest in this promotion and for your continued Card Membership.
Bummer. Sorry!
no offer at all for me
Interesting they didn’t incentivize the larger spend better.
Thanks for the heads up on this.
I put just about all my spend on my CHASE Sapphire Reserve, except this quarter I am using my Chase Freedom for gasoline purchases.
Consider looking at a Freedom Unlimited – 1.5x across all purchases.
I don’t appear to be targeted, which is disappointing. I would love to earn extra Starpoints right now as I’m trying to accumulate AA miles for a trip. Star Points are definitely one of the best ways to do that.
