The Fairfield Inn & Suites Orillia is now open and offering 5,000 bonus points per stay + MORE Apr 2nd

Thanks to Rewards Canada contributor Jeff W. for alerting us this morning to this amazing new Amex Offers offer that came out for the  Marriott Bonvoy™ American Express® Card: For the next 5 months cardmembers who are targeted for this offer (and it looks like a good portion of them are!) will earn 5,000 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points for every $2,000 spent on the card. The bonus can be earned up to 5 times. That means if you spend $10,000 on the card in this time period you’ll earn 25,000 bonus points. The bonus equates to an additional 2.5 Marriott Bonvoy points per dollar spent. The card’s base earn rate is 2 points per dollar so that will mean you are earn 4.5 points per dollar spent but if you throw some Marriott stays in that time those earn 5 points per dollar meaning you’ll actually be earning 7.5 points per dollar spent! Recommended reading:  Marriott Bonvoy™ Business American Express® Card Review If you recall from our review of this card we had an example where redeeming for a luxury hotel worked out to 3…

Back in February we started off our 2021 series of looking at new hotels opening in Canada with what Marriott has planned and one of those nine hotels slated for this year has opened early!

And that doesn’t include your base points or points from your credit card. That’s a good deal but there may be a deal breaker and that is Ontario’s lockdown that will come into effect on Saturday. I can’t find details as to whether hotels are affected by it but in any case I would hope that the hotel extends this bonus offer beyond the end of April due to this lockdown…
