This New Marriott Credit Card Offer Could Be a Game Changer for Your Next Vacation

Traveling can be a hassle, that’s for sure, but sometimes, you can use credit card points to make things a little easier.

BonVoy points can be redeemed at Marriott properties around the world.

You can use credit card points to get discounts on hotel rooms (and sometimes get the room for free, or a free upgrade), rental cars, flights, and so much more. In this case, if you’re a Marriott Bonvoy member, or have been thinking of becoming one, getting this new credit card and spending a specific amount can get you a whopping 200,000 extra points!

In a recent email Marriott just sent out to their Marriott Bonvoy members, you can earn 200,000 Marriott Bonvoy Bonus Points after you spend $6,000 in purchases on the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express® Card in your first 6 months of Card Membership. Yes, that sounds like a lot of money to spend, and it doesn’t get too much better if we say that breaks down to $1,000 a month, but hey, if you use your credit card to pay your rent or mortgage every month, you’re already on your way!

Additionally, you can enjoy complimentary Platinum Elite status, and all the perks that come with it, which include:

50% more points on every eligible hotel purchase
Enhanced room upgrades, including Select Suites
A welcome gift, but you can choose between points, breakfast offering, or amenity, depending on where you stay
Free Wi-Fi
4 PM late checkout
Lounge access
So much more!

With your Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Amex Card, you’ll also already get up to 21x the normal points. The breakdown is:

3X points for every $1 spent at restaurants and flights
2x points for every $1 on other purchases
Earn 6X points with the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Amex Card for every $1 spent with Marriott Bonvoy
Earn up to 10X points for being a Marriott Bonvoy member
Earn up to 5X more points, a benefit available with your complimentary Platinum Elite status

There’s MORE though! You’ll get up to $300 (up to $25 per month) in statement credits each calendar year for eligible purchases made on your Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Amex Card at restaurants worldwide, as well as the One Free Night Award on eligible stays every year after your Card renewal month (value up to 85,000 points). Finally, you’ll receive 25 Elite Night Credits toward the next level of Marriott Bonvoy Elite status each calendar year.
