RE:
5% OPEN Savings discount via Amex Business Cards
Perhaps the first post should be amended to reflect
a coming change:
Effective July 1, 2013, Courtyard by Marriott®, SpringHill Suites by Marriott®, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott®, Residence Inn by Marriott®, and TownePlace Suites by Marriott® will no longer be part of the OPEN Savings benefit. Any amounts that are charged to your Card account by these properties on or after July 1 will not be eligible for the OPEN Savings benefit. Since your Card account is normally charged at the end of your stay, that means that you will not receive the OPEN Savings benefit for any stays completed on or after July 1.
