Hi I’m new here and I’m thinking about getting an American Express Marriott business card. I haven’t Hi, I’m new here and I’m thinking about getting a American Express Marriott business card. I haven’t gotten any new cards in the past 48 months, and we put about $5-6000 a month on our credit cards. We pay it all off every month.
I currently have a Marriott Chase personal visa card, I have a Bank of America Visa, and I have a Disney premier visa.
My main reason for wanting to pick up the Marriott business card is because the 15 nights will stack with our regular card, which will help boost us up to our platinum level. Our travel this year is a little smaller than normal, and we are going to be short at the end of the year for our 50 travel nights.
I will also make use of the sign on bonus points from this on a trip in March, so that’ll be even better.
The best on scene for a sign-up bonus right now is 75,000 points, but I’m not sure if there’s something better out there I’m just missing.
The Amex Marriott biz bonus isn't very good right now. You might want to wait until an elevated offer comes back (it was recently 125k). You can see a historical chart here.
Will also mention the Amex Brilliant comes with platinum status. Annual fee is a whopping $650, but comes with $25 monthly dining credits and an up to 85k anniversary free night certificate (can be topped off with points up to 15k). Current bonus is also not good.
The Marriott cards have complicated applications rules, so check this chart before applying.
