Amex is offering a bonus of 5 free night certificates of 50k points each for $8,000 in spend in 6 months.

Public offer: Link.

If you’re interested in the card and supporting the blog here is my referral with the 5 night offer. Link.

Notes

• This is a great offer that can be worth ~$2,000 as Marriott points can be redeemed for around .8 cents per point. However, it can be difficult to find a good redemption worth around 50k points a night so the bonus may be worth less
• You can “top off” FNCs with up to 15,000 additional points allowing you to book stays worth 65k points a night if you have an additional 75k points
• The card also gives an additional 35k FNC every card anniversary which can easily cover the annual fee
• The spending requirement is more than the Marriott Boundless offer, but you do not burn a 5/24 slot with this card and can pair it with Amex Marriott Brilliant
• Note: You cannot get this card you’ve received a welcome bonus from any Chase Marriott card in the last 24 months.
• There has been a 125k + 2 FNC offer in the past which gives a bit more flexibility than the 5 FNC offer
