Added that $15 off $20 to my offers, too, and noticed that shipping is free. Picked up 2 nice-looking reusable bags for $9 total after $15 off.

Anyone know how this might play out?

both I and my wife got the newer $50 off $200 Marriott offer. Its the same account - with her card as an AU. We just checked out of a Sheraton (Maui), and my card was the one on file. Day prior to checkout, my wife went to the desk to pay $200 of the charge on her card.

she only signed once for the $200, but the charge was somehow done as a $199 and $1, at least thats how its showing as pending (was weird noticed as the large purchase alert was for $199). Logged in to confirm there is a $199 and $1 pending charge.

no email yet, but I know these are taking time these days. But wondering if the $50 will credit back at all for her, either with or without her calling in. Mine should presumably credit normally. Not sure if the $200 needs to be in a single charge, or if these pending charges might charge in one transaction when it clears. Maybe I should have told her to do $250, but you know

Any thoughts?

I can confirm it does not need to be a single charge. My husband had two charges, $115 and $130. He got his $50 rebate.

$10 off of $40 at an HMSHost sit-down restaurant at an airport. On both Plat and Gold.

I typically travel by myself, so not likely to be able to rack up a $40 bill in an airport restaurant.

I've been meaning to mention this one. I was thinking that maybe if you have one at an airport where you go through regularly, you could pick up a gift card as your next transaction?

How do we know which brands are Black Owned? The site tells you?

After a brief "tour" of the site, I came to the same conclusion.

Just a DP:

Booked several Delta award flights on one itinerary that resulted in ~$340 fees.
Charge originally posted as a single charge, but settled as multiple charges. This triggered the $200 airline credit and the $125 back for $300 Delta offer.

Thanks everyone for your advice.

And the Leading Hotels of the World one too: $60 back for $300+.

I seem to get hit very regularly with all the hotel ones.

The M&O one covers M&O in the US and in London, Paris, Munich, Geneva, Barcelona and Madrid.

The LHW one covers US, Canada, Mexico and Caribbean.

Just booked & prepaid a resort on the FHR list through AmEx Travel, got an email saying I will get the $150 credit on the $800+ booking even though the stay is weeks away. Also, think I'll be getting another $200 credit as part of my Plat benefits when booking through AmEx Travel, $100 at-hotel credit, and daily breakfast.
Thanks.

Yes, the $200 credit should post within a few days. The $100 at-hotel credit worked well for us as it covered parking for most of our stay.

thanks. She got an email overnight about using the offer, so more confident this credit should auto-post, no matter how it eventually posts.
