$25 if I spend $500
Personal Bonvoy-annual fee just posted. minimal spend in past year. Mentioned not travelling, no use for free night certificate. Amex member for 23 years. Got only 1 offer $25 if I spend $500 in next 3 months. Had to listen to how great it is to get extra points for grocery shopping (and of course I just said I can't travel and use the points so how is that great?)

I have written to Amex for the extra 15 nights in the hope of securing 45 in total which would be a great little boost!

The consensus seems to be that you can get the 15+15 nights only if you have one business and one personal card.
Can you earn 30 elite night credits for Bonvoy from credit cards?
Two personal cards, one from AmEx, and one from Chase, will only get you 15 nights, at least as to current data points.
The two types of card can be with different issuers or the same issuer, though onlyChase AmEx has a business card currently open to new applicants.
Further discussion about earning 15+15 nights should be relegated to the foregoing thread.

Thank you. I mis-remembered this post.

So there are only two available Bonvoy Amex business cards around the globe, us and Canadian. I've read the American holders get their 15 elite nights on top of the personal Bonvoy card. But what about the Canadian business Amex for Bonvoy, does it give 15 elite nights as well?
Edit: Found this article which says it's only available to get 15+15 through an US Amex Personal + Biz card. Not with a mix of Canada and US or just Canada with Personal + Biz. At the moment. Hopefully Amex Canada will update its terms.
As a european I kind of think it's easier to do a global transfer to Canada than the US.
Here's the article and I've also double checked with the terms on the Canadian Amex page. https://princeoftravel.com/blog/how-...platinum-elite

What kind of US cards you have? If both are personal cards then yes, only 15 nights credit.
Only 1 personal 1 business US cards would get 15 nights on each. The UNCLEAR area is, if both cards must be AMEX cards or 1 Chase personal 1 AMEX business would also receive 15 nights on each. I have not seen any DP on this combo. All I see reported are both personal and business cards issued by AMEX (the personal being from the SPG days as Chase got the right to issue all personal cards while AMEX all business cards when Marriott renewed the deals.)

Called today on my Marriott Bonvoy AmEx. I'd gotten a retention offer back in 2018, no offer in 2019 (because I'd gotten one in '18). Called today, rep talked up the extra 4 points per dollar at grocery stores, offered to switch to a no-fee card, but no offers. Keeping the card for now.

I can't recall if it was the legacy SPG or legacy Marriott. I didn't pay much attention to the no annual fee card the agent offered. I'll keep the card for the free night cert.

Have the converted Amex SPG to Amex Marriott Bonvoy business card. Annual fee of $125 hit back at the end of April. Called today for retention information. Only offer was 3,000 Marriott points.

Personal card: Was offered 30,000 points for $5,000 spend or $100 credit for $2,500 spend in three months.
I took the $100 credit as $5k is a lot considering I'm not doing much these days.
