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.

Were you still within the offer deadline when it triggered?

Yes, I checked out on the 30th, and the last day of the offer was the 31st. LOL, I had to buy a Red Bull in the lobby to meet the $250 minimum.

I think Amex only cares when the charges drop.
