If you carry the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card, check your account before you book your next flight. A targeted Amex Offer pays a one-time $200 statement credit after you spend $900 or more on flights booked directly with airlines. You have until February 28, 2027 to make the qualifying spend, but you need to add the offer to your card before you buy.
Deal Details
- The credit: a one-time $200 statement credit.
- The spend: $900 or more on qualifying airfare, and you can get there across multiple transactions rather than one big ticket.
- What counts: flights booked directly with the airline. Bookings made through third-party sites or travel agencies won't trigger the credit.
- The deadline: qualifying purchases must be made by February 28, 2027.
- The card: this one appears to be specific to the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant, so check that card's Amex Offers rather than your other Amex cards.
How to Take Advantage
- Log in to your Amex account, open the Amex Offers section on your Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant card and add the offer.
- Book your flights directly with the airline and pay with your Brilliant card.
- Reach $900 in qualifying airfare by February 28, 2027, in one purchase or several.
Why This Deal Matters
The Brilliant card ordinarily earns 3x Marriott Bonvoy points on airfare booked directly with the airline, so the $200 credit lands on top of the points you'd already earn on the ticket. If the Brilliant usually sits in your drawer when you buy flights, this offer gives it a reason to come out.
This one looks widely targeted among Brilliant cardholders. If you're new to these merchant deals, our guide to how card-linked offers work at each issuer walks through enrolling and how credits post. We also covered other targeted Amex airline offers this month.
Who Should Act
This suits Brilliant cardholders who'll book flights directly with an airline before the end of February 2027. It doesn't suit you if you book airfare through an online travel agency or a travel agent, because those purchases don't count. It also won't help if you don't hold the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant.
