Targeted Amex Offer: Earn 4x Marriott Bonvoy Points at U.S. Supermarkets (Up to 5,000 Bonus Points)

If you have a Marriott Bonvoy American Express card, it's worth a quick check of your Amex Offers. A targeted promotion is currently giving +4 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points for every dollar spent at U.S. supermarkets, on top of whatever your card normally earns. That can add up fast, especially if you're using a card that already rewards grocery spending.

What the offer actually gives you

This is a targeted Amex Offer, meaning you won't find it on every card. If you have a Marriott Bonvoy credit card from American Express, log into your account and scroll through your available offers. If it's there, you'll need to add it to your card before you start earning.

Once activated, you'll earn an extra 4 Marriott Bonvoy points for every dollar you spend at U.S. supermarkets. That's on top of the points your card already earns. The bonus is capped at 5,000 points per Card Member, so you'll hit the ceiling after $1,250 in qualifying grocery spending.

Why the Marriott Bonvoy Bevy card is the sweet spot

Not all Marriott cards earn the same at supermarkets. The Marriott Bonvoy Bevy® American Express® card already gives you 4x points at U.S. supermarkets. Stack this offer on top, and you're looking at a total of 8x points per dollar on groceries until you reach the cap.

Other Marriott Amex cards might earn 1x or 2x at supermarkets, so the bonus is still valuable, but the Bevy card turns this into a standout grocery earner for a while.

Where you can and can't use it

The offer works at standalone U.S. supermarkets, both in-store and online. Think of your typical grocery store like Kroger, Safeway, or Publix. But there are some important exclusions to keep in mind.

You won't earn the bonus at superstores like Walmart or Target, warehouse clubs like Costco or Sam's Club, convenience stores, small corner grocery stores, or specialty food stores. Gasoline purchases and gift card purchases are also excluded. And if you're buying something at a pharmacy inside a supermarket or from an indoor vendor like a coffee shop or restaurant, that won't count either.

• Eligible: standalone U.S. supermarkets (in-store and online)
• Not eligible: superstores, warehouse clubs, convenience stores, specialty food stores, small corner grocery stores
• Excluded purchases: gasoline, gift cards, pharmacy, indoor vendors (coffee shops, restaurants)

How to make the most of it

If you have the Bevy card and this offer appears, it's a no-brainer to activate it. You'll want to do your regular grocery shopping with that card until you've spent $1,250, which maxes out the 5,000 bonus points. After that, the bonus stops, so you can switch back to your usual card strategy.

Keep in mind that the offer expires on January 31, 2027, so you have plenty of time, but don't forget to use it before then. Also, remember that Amex Offers are targeted, so not everyone will see it. If you don't have it, there's nothing you can do to force it to appear.
