Today, American Express announced a measure for Marriott Bonvoy™ Business American Express® Cardmembers.
Until August 31, 2020, with the Marriott Bonvoy™ Business American Express® Card, you can earn:
Category | Earning rate |
Office supplies | 3 points per dollar |
Electronics | 3 points per dollar |
Marriott Bonvoy™ Business American Express® Cardmembers continue to earn:
- 5 points for every $1 in Card purchases at participating Marriott Bonvoy properties
- 3 points for every $1 in Card purchases on eligible gas, dining and travel
- 2 points for every $1 in purchases charged to the Card everywhere else
It’s a great offer for Marriott Bonvoy™ Business American Express® Cardmembers – or those who apply for the card today!
However, if you also are an American Express Business Edge™ Cardmember and would like to earn Marriott Bonvoy points, that Card will be even more profitable.
Indeed, you can earn the equivalent of 3.6 Marriott Bonvoy points per dollar for these same categories. This is the best credit card to use for office supplies and electronics.
However, if you don’t have the American Express Business Edge™ Card, then using the Marriott Bonvoy™ Business American Express® Card for these purchases is perfectly appropriate at this time!
As an indication, you’ll find below the retailers falling into these categories:
Electronic and office supplies |
Apple |
Best Buy |
Bureau en Gros / Staples |
Bose |
Dell |
Canon |
HP |
IBM |
The Source |
Lenovo |
Microsoft |
Office Depot |
Conclusion
And remember: if you plan to apply for one of these credit cards, do it before June 30th!
Indeed, all those who apply before this date will have six months instead of three to unlock the welcome bonuses!
