Link: Apply now for the Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card

Several weeks ago, we saw a lucrative welcome offer rolled out on the Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card. I wanted to post a reminder of this deal, as it will be expiring soon — if this card has been on your radar, now is the time to apply.

Earn free night awards with Marriott Amex Business Card

The Marriott Bonvoy Business Amex has a limited time welcome offer for applications through Wednesday, March 20, 2024. Specifically, you can earn five free night awards after spending $8,000 within the first six months. Each free night award is valid for a Bonvoy property costing up to 50,000 Bonvoy points. Certain properties have resort and destination fees.

As you can tell, this bonus can be worth up to 250,000 points, though I don’t value free night awards quite as much as their corresponding points value, since they have less flexibility. For what it’s worth, I value Marriott points at 0.7 cents each, given all the great ways there are to redeem them, so I value 250,000 points at $1,750. I’d value the corresponding certificates a bit less.

This is in line with the best offers we’ve seen on this card.

Marriott Amex Business Card eligibility requirements

If you’re applying for the Marriott Bonvoy Business Amex, the general Amex application restrictions apply. For example, you’re limited to having a total of five Amex credit cards (not including hybrid cards), regardless of whether they’re personal or business.

The good news is that I find Amex business cards to anecdotally be pretty easy to get approved for. Another awesome thing is that if you’re concerned about Chase’s 5/24 limit, applying for an Amex business card won’t count toward that.

Beyond that, since both American Express and Chase issue cards for Marriott, there are some pretty complicated restrictions regarding eligibility for this card, so see this post for more details.

Why the Marriott Amex Business Card is worth it

Not only does the Marriott Bonvoy Business Amex have a generous welcome offer, but this is a card that’s worth keeping in the long run. It’s a card I’ve had for years, and plan to hold onto. The card has a $125 annual fee (Rates & Fees), and for that you receive two key perks:

To me that more than justifies the annual fee, and that doesn’t even factor in some of the other perks, like complimentary Marriott Bonvoy Gold status.

Bottom line

The Marriott Bonvoy Business Amex has an excellent welcome offer, and on top of that this is a card that’s worth keeping, thanks to the 15 elite nights toward status annually, plus the annual free night reward. If you’re at all in the Marriott Bonvoy ecosystem and are eligible, this is a card to have.

    My application resulted in the pop-up stating that I am not eligible for the bonus. I had the Amex Starwood Preferred personal card from Amex in the past but not the business version. Per eligibility requirements this is unexpected.

    The 50k certs can be topped off right? Up to 30k points?

  3. bo Guest

    I just applied for this card a month ago for 3 nights with $6K spend in 6 months. Any idea if Amex will match the better offer now for me?

    1. Miss Guest

      Same here....I asked via chat and sent the link to the public offer and the rep said she will pass it on to whomever makes that decision and I'll get a response in a few Weeks.

      Of course AMEX will not match.
