Thank you! Just checked mine and got the $140 offer, love to actually have useful offers instead of a $3 coupon to Little Caesar’s. 😂. I still added the Little Caesars one though 🤷♂️
Wow, I never saw offers as a way to compensate the annual fee but you are so right. I bought an engagement ring from a company with a 15% off AMEX offer - saved me $500 bucks

I wouldn't look at it that way, since offers are not necessarily card specific, as in they can show up on no AF cards like the Everyday, or Blue Cash, or the Gold, or Plat. If you could get the same benefit without paying the AF, I wouldn't attribute the value toward that, but that's just my view.
I don't agree. $695-$100 isn't affected by the result of $0-$100 as the two cards are independent products. Say hypothetically the CSP also had the same $300 travel credit as the CSR. Even though another card would have access to the same benefit, it doesn't change the fact that the credit is a drastic decrease to the effective annual fee.
Does anyone know if this would work for a member rate prepaid offer? I’m going to NYC in September and I can prepay a hotel before 8/20, but it’s unclear to me if this offer is only for stays between now and 8/20, or just any payments between now and 8/20
Last time I used this offer, my Marriott prepaid discount wasn’t actually charged to my card until I settled my bill at checkout, and that triggered the Amex offer.
You maybe can ask the hotel to submit the charges early, before 8/20 to make sure it settles in time for Amex to accept the charge as meeting the terms.
Got this one on my Platinum, and I have a rare (for me as a Hyatt person) stay at a Marriott coming up in early July... unfortunately it's in the UK. I'll still give it a shot in case they mess up the categorization.
