Disappointing bonus IMO was hoping for 120-125k. Even though already have will just stick with my business spg card and probably not nab the personal or this version of personal. Obviosuly has a market for alot, just not me currently.. Like the spend bonuses on the business better

Couldn’t find the card directly from americanexpress.com but the link from DoctorofCredit is working. He does state that the bonus is less than what was rumored it would be by 25k points and probably will go up in the future. However, for many of us this 3 day window is the only opportunity to grab the card. The SUB is worth >$800 so nothing to sneeze at. Hefty AF but if you stay at Starwood/Marriott locations, this card will be useful

Approved for $10k. Not great but already have lots of exposure with them.

It's on Amex website now. 100k for 5k is steep and if you have Amex plat this card offers nothing. The $300 credit cannot be used for room cost and the only meal I eat at a Hotel restaurant is breakfast and I don't have to prepay $300 for breakfast with Hilton, lol!

I'd rather save $450 than get a free night. This card should of offered Plat Elite status some how, maybe by getting rid of the $300 credit.

I’ll try that when the card arrives. Just talked to frontline CSR?

That'll never happen anytime soon. It's clear from the changes that Marriott is marketing towards the people who actually stay at their hotels and not just get automatic status through cards (AMEX Platinum and RC). Throw me in the group that is slightly disappointed in the inital SUB though even if I wasn't going to fresh app this card. I would have figured at least initially it would have been at the minimum 125k considering the hefty AF that comes with it.

I've never had a hotel card because I'm pretty hotel agnostic but this card seems dissappointing. I expected something closer to the Hilton Aspire which has benefits that would justify having it even with the Platinum if I stayed at Hilton properties. I do like to stay at Ritz-Carlton...Maybe someone can tell me what I'm missing here? What is worth the $450?
