[PROMO] Stay 15 nights, pay with Amex, earn 5,000 points, 18 Oct - 18 Dec 2016

I don't think this promo entices anyone to stay 15 nights they didn't have planned. But if you have some SPG stays coming up anyway, it might sway you to throw some extra nights at SPG. I have 12 nights booked in the promo period, and I'm strongly considering moving 3 nights I had originally booked with IHG to SPG. I wouldn't move from the amazing IC HK to the crappy Sheraton, but some random HI vs a random 4P? Why not, for 1,667 points/nt.

You will need to pay with your American Express Card to be eligible for the promotion. Or, your husband can register the promotion with his SPG account, book the reservation and pay with his American Express Card so that he is eligible for this promotion.

Providing its nights not stays it is a better than nothing promo and I would suggest its not aimed at getting more bookings more Amex wanting you to pay with them with your Amex if you already have them booked!
Only question I have is when it says any amex does that mean it can be different amex cards for different stays?

I'd imagine it is on one Amex (see Lurkers response above). If I were you I'd be sure to use the same Amex for all 15 nights.

T&Cs say any amex, so I would imagine it doesn't have to be a single card.

I have booked 15 nights for November, but paid for it on the SPG AMEX in August. Hopefully I will get the 5,000 bonus after completing my stays?

I agree it's weak. At least this confirms that Marriott is calling the shots.

I would imagine this is more of an Amex designed promo rather than Marriott/SPG. After all it requires Amex usage which most hotel promos do not.

In this case, you will be eligible for this promotion if you book and pay with this American Express card and the stays meet the conditions of the promotion.
