Yes, this should give you credit of up to $300 towards your $300 annual credit. Did you already use your annual credit?

Amex is starting to "respect" the "up to" number in their various terms. My favorite are their various "up to" 3-5, 5-7, or 7-10 week terms. Jist f'ing say "in 5,7, or 10 weeks".

My card anniversary date is April 3rd. I was wrongly informed about credit by CSR in prior conversation (AF posting date). I had hotel charges on April 15th so did get $300 credit (which I thought was for previous year based on my discussion with CSR) however it went for current year
. Now I need to figure out creative way to recoup the last year fee

Werty7777 Your post is untrue. AMEX CS confirmed that with the termination of the $300 hotel credit in September, the new program begins a "new day" to earn yet another $300 credit to your account over the course of a year (Sept-2023). Thus, folks can "double-dip" to get a $600 credit to their account within a year.
I’m guessing that in my case, I will not have a chance to double dip to get the full $600 credit within a year.
If I understand this correctly, with my anniversary date, I probably have the least upside from the change, with perhaps $25 more in annual credits (for September 2022) than I would’ve otherwise earned?

Darn. My Amex Bonvoy Brilliant cardmember anniversary is October 2022.

If your sign up date for the card was after 9/22 you will not be able to get the existing 300 Marriott credit. After 9/22, you would get the new dining credit monthly.
My sign up was 9/1 so I will be able to claim the 300 Marriott credit as long as it occurs between 9/1-9/22. After 9/22 then the monthly dining credit can be used.

$300 credit used on 7/20, credit posted 7/23
did anyone get a retention offer this year? i asked but was only given option to downgrade. Glad i kept it now! (well 50k cert is pretty good too for $150 i guess)

I'm assuming I'm in the same boat. My renewal date is August 24th. Does that mean I have 4 weeks to spend the $300 Marriott statement credit and then after Sept 22nd, they will give me another $300 via monthly restaurant credits? Is that correct?

yes i believe so. you can always chat AMEX to confirm if your $300 benefit reset yet before using. But i think you should be fine

Thats plenty of time, since you can use the credit for a gift card on the website

All those who applied and got approved for the Amex SPG Luxury Card (now called the Amex Bonvoy Brilliant) on the very first day that it was made available which is August 23 2018 will have their $300 credit for this year available Aug 23-Aug 24 and essentially have less than one month to trigger it for this year.

Yeah, I have chat access so will try on it. Worst case scenario, I plan to get all $25 credit before next renewal so impact will be less.
