My take: Great to see these increased offers, but be wary of the certificates offer
The current offers on the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express® Card and Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card best the highest offers I’ve seen on these cards since I started tracking the bonuses.
And I’d consider the offer on the Bonvoy Bevy an excellent bonus, given the value of the points you can get, relative to the annual fee.
However, if you’re truly a rewards maximizer, the free night certificate offer on the Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express® Card has the most potential, but I’d caution you to have a plan before applying for this card.
First, the certificates you’ll earn with that offer expire in a year, so you’d better have a plan to use then. And second, you are likely to maximize value if you use your certificates for nights that are very close to the 50,000 point “value” of each certificates.
Think about it this way: If you use five certificates for nights worth 35,000 points each, you’re better off having 175,000 Marriott points, since those points don’t expire and are more flexible than free night certificates.
In every case, check out our Marriott card comparison to see which card is the best for you. If one of those is one of the Amex cards, now is a great time to apply.
