Today I want to talk about a long series of rich bonuses that Marriott Bonvoy offers to its members for stays in Italy and Europe, bonuses that cumulate with any other promotions as per tradition in the loyalty program of the world's largest hotel chain.
100 € is offered by American Express
We often talk about the Amex Offer, the promotions that American Express cardholders find in the dedicated section of the app, or on the website, and that can be taken advantage of to accumulate extra MR points, get discounts or immediate cash back.
Until June 30, this offer allows you to get €100 cashback when you spend a minimum of €300 at one of the many participating hotels in Italy and half of Europe.
N.B. The offer is triggered even if you book a stay after that date, the important thing is that the charge is made before the end of June. You will then need to book a stay with prepayment to get the discount from Amex.
Up to 20 thousand bonus points with Marriott stays
The richest bonus is for a minimum two-night stay at one of the finest properties in the Marriott portfolio in Italy: the JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa located on the private island of Isola delle Rose in Venice.

There are then a dozen other bonuses in facilities in Italy and beyond. The nice thing, however, is that , in some of these facilities, If you have Platinum status or higher the bonus doubles.
For example, if you stay at the Westin in Florence for 3 nights you can get 10 thousand base points, however, if you have an elite platinum level or higher the bonus doubles to as many as 20k points.
If you then want to put together 3 offers. you can stay at the Excelsior Gallia hotel in Milan, a property that belongs to the Luxury Collection family, for one-night stays between July 1 and August 30 you will get 5,000 bonus Bonvoy points.
