Amex Bonvoy Cards: New Offers for Summer 2022

There are elevated offers on the Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card and Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Card. The offer on the personal card expires on October 26, 2022, so be sure to act quickly to take advantage of the welcome offer.

These signup bonuses are among the better offers we’ve witnessed on the Bonvoy cards, drawing on many tantalizing elements from the all-time highs we saw back in the summer of 2021.

With dynamic pricing here as of March 2022 and further changes to come in 2023, now’s a great time to collect the welcome bonuses on the Bonvoy cards to take advantage of any current sweet spots that catch your eye.

Amex Bonvoy Card: Up to 80,000 Points!

After briefly reducing its welcome bonus to a weak 55,000 points earlier this year, the Marriott Bonvoy American Express Card has bounced back.

Until October 26, 2022, you can earn up to 80,000 Marriott Bonvoy points when you apply via a refer-a-friend link, broken down as follows:

• Earn 70,000 Bonvoy points upon spending $3,000 in the first three months
• Earn 5x points on eats & drinks in the first three months, up to a maximum of 10,000 points (on $2,000 of spending)

Based on our current valuations, we’d value Bonvoy points at 0.9 cents per point (CAD) apiece, meaning that 80,000 Bonvoy points are worth $720. And yet, they can indeed be redeemed for much higher value than that!

80,000 Bonvoy points could be enough for a one-night stay at one of Marriott’s higher-tier hotels, such as the The Bodrum EDITION or Le Meridien Maldives.

If you’d rather redeem your points towards more modest accommodations, they’d also be enough for two nights at a mid-tier or mid-market hotel, five nights at a decent hotel in an emerging market, or 17+ nights at the most affordable redemptions the Marriott Bonvoy program has to offer.

Alternatively, you’d also be able to convert 60,000 Bonvoy points into 25,000 airline miles in the program of your choosing, including Aeroplan, Alaska Mileage Plan, and 40+ other frequent flyer programs.

You’ll particularly benefit from this offer if the bulk of your initial spending is on groceries and restaurants, including bars, cafes, and food delivery services.

To maximize this offer and earn the full 80,000 points, you’ll have to spend $2,000 on eligible eats and drinks. Naturally, your spending here would also be eligible for…
