Marriott Rewards has a very good singing up offer for American Express members in Spain. You will get one free night certificate that is capped to category 1 to 5 properties just after one paid stay. The stay needs to be at any Marriott property in Spain between October 22 and January 31, 2013. You can access this offer here.
There is a free night offer for joining Marriott Rewards in Asia-Pacific and Europe as well. Those offers are, however, capped at category 1 to 4 for a free night certificate. Category 5 makes using the free night certificate far easier and lot more rewarding.
If you reside in Spain, have an American Express card, and you are not yet a member of Marriott Rewards, it makes a lot sense to take advantage of this offer. The terms and conditions indicate that this offer would be targeted, but the sign up links just embeds an offer code SX12 for the free night joining promotion. Nothing to lose, right?
Conclusion
This is a very good offer for joining Marriott Rewards in Spain. There are lot of new Marriott affiliated properties due to AC Hotels joining the Marriott family.
I really like the fact that the free night certificate is capped at up to category 5. This opens up a lot of new opportunities where to you can use them i.e. JW Marriott Mexico City is category 5 property.
