The Marriott Bonvoy Bevy American Express Card from Amex now offers 150,000 Marriott Bonvoy points plus a $250 statement credit after you spend $5,000 in the first 6 months. The offer ends January 13, 2027. At our value of 0.75 cents per Marriott Bonvoy point, the bonus and credit come to about $1,375, or about $1,125 after the $250 annual fee.
The deal
- Offer: 150,000 Marriott Bonvoy points plus a $250 statement credit after $5,000 in purchases in the first 6 months of card membership.
- Dates: Marriott’s card page says the offer ends January 13, 2027.
- Annual fee: $250, charged in year one. The $250 credit cancels it out for the first year.
- Where to find it: the offer appears on Marriott’s Amex card page. Amex’s own Bevy page shows a smaller offer of 85,000 points with no credit, so start from Marriott’s page.
- Card perks: Gold Elite status, 15 Elite Night Credits each calendar year, and a Free Night Award worth up to 50,000 points after $15,000 in spending in a calendar year.
Key terms
- The wording: Marriott’s page reads “Earn 150,000 Bonus Points plus a $250 statement credit.” The $5,000 must go on purchases in the first 6 months of card membership.
- Earning rates: 6 points per dollar at Marriott hotels, 4 points per dollar at restaurants worldwide and U.S. supermarkets on up to $15,000 a year combined, and 2 points per dollar on everything else, per Amex’s card page.
- Chase Marriott cards count: the terms rule you out if you had a Boundless, Bold, Bountiful or older Marriott Premier card from Chase in the last 30 days. Getting a new Boundless, Bold or Bountiful in the last 90 days, or a bonus on one in the last 24 months, also blocks the bonus. Doctor of Credit lists the full wording.
- Amex bonus rules: Amex usually gives a welcome bonus once per card per lifetime. Before the credit check, Amex shows a pop-up if you won’t get the bonus, so you can stop the application there.
- No foreign transaction fees: the card charges none on purchases abroad.
How it compares with past Bevy offers
Doctor of Credit flagged this offer and tracks past Bevy bonuses. We priced each one at 0.75 cents per point from our points valuation guide.
| Offer | Points value | Credit | Value after the $250 fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| 150,000 points + $250 credit (now, through Jan 13, 2027) | $1,125 | $250 | $1,125 |
| 155,000 points (2024 and 2025) | $1,162.50 | $0 | $912.50 |
| 125,000 points + $150 credit (August to September 2026) | $937.50 | $150 | $837.50 |
| 85,000 points (Amex’s public page today) | $637.50 | $0 | $387.50 |
The math for the top row: 150,000 points × 0.75 cents = $1,125, plus the $250 credit, minus the $250 fee, leaves $1,125. The 155,000-point offer had 5,000 more points but no credit, so it comes out $212.50 lower.
What 150,000 points book
Marriott prices award nights by date and hotel, with no fixed chart. Its redemption page lists free nights, flights and other options. The $5,000 in required spending earns at least 10,000 more points at 2 points per dollar, so you’d end up with about 160,000 points.
That’s enough for five nights at a hotel that costs 40,000 points a night. Marriott’s program terms include Stay for 5, Pay for 4, so you pay points for four nights (160,000 points) and the fifth night is free.
Our take
We think this is the strongest Bevy offer of the last few, and we’d apply if you stay at Marriott hotels at least a few nights a year. Doctor of Credit calls it only a fair deal unless you have a Marriott stay in mind. Our numbers rank it first because the $250 credit wipes out the first-year fee, which the 155,000-point offer didn’t do.
After year one, the card costs $250 a year with no credit. The Free Night Award (worth up to 50,000 points, about $375) only arrives after $15,000 in spending in a calendar year. If you won’t spend that much, cancel or downgrade before the second fee posts.
Skip it if you’ve had a Chase Marriott card bonus in the last 24 months, since the terms block you. Also skip it if Amex already gave you a Bevy bonus. If you want more Marriott points without a new card, our post on the Amex to Marriott transfer bonus shows how that route works. For the bigger Amex Marriott card with a $650 fee, see our post on the Brilliant’s 150,000-point offer. Chase’s Boundless offer ended November 11, 2026. Our hotel points and welcome offers pages collect our other hotel card posts.
FAQ

Marriott’s card page says the offer ends January 13, 2027.
How much do you have to spend for the bonus?
