New Marriott Rewards Credit Card Apple Pay Promotion

By 1 Comment





I don’t usually get excited about small credit card offers like this, but, its not very often we see something for the Marriott Credit Card. This isn’t nearly as good as the Discover Apple Pay promotion a few years back–which I bought an iPhone for by the way!

Marriott Rewards Credit Card, Apple Pay Promotion

Marriott Rewards Credit Card Apple Pay promotion

The promotion is pretty simple – use Apple Pay to make 5 purchases with your Marriott Rewards Credit Card between 15 May and 15 June and you’ll get a $15 statement credit. 

The terms are fairly straight forward, see pasted below:

Offer: This offer is valid from 05/15/2017 through 06/15/2017. To qualify for this offer, you must make 5 transactions using your consumer Marriott Rewards® credit card with your Apple Pay® account during checkout. Purchases are when you, or an authorized user, use a card to make purchases of products and services, minus returns or refunds. Please allow up to 8 weeks after the qualifying purchase(s) post(s) to your account for the statement credit to post to your Marriott Rewards® credit account. To receive the statement credit, your account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment. If you change your credit card product during the promotional period you will forfeit this offer. This offer is non-transferable. Limit one statement credit per customer or card account. Chase may terminate this offer at any time without notice.

It seems like a pretty easy promotion to do in order to get yourself a $15 statement credit. One caveat – its not clear to me that it is specifically targeted.

Will you be taking advantage of the Marriott Rewards Credit Card Apple Pay promotion?

Deal of the Year becomes more interesting with Delta Airlines!

Note: As a few folks have stated, the terms of the Discover Deal of the Year promo, state that in app purchases won’t count. That said, in practice it may be hard to enforce such terms, so as they say, Your Miles May Vary (YMMV). I for one will have my fingers crossed. Via comment section, Eddy states that Discover is grayed out in Apple Pay.

It looks like Apple Pay is no available for those of you Delta Flyers. In fact, the article states:

Starting today, Delta Air Lines (DAL) customers can now book and pay for flights via Apple Pay, the easy and private way to pay, using the latest version of the Fly Delta app.

Now, I can’t say whether this will definitively get you your Deal of the Year 10% Discover Cash Back, but I have to believe that it will.

All that said, if you actually fly Delta in your normal travels, the risk is minimal. If you don’t normally fly Delta Airlines, well, maybe you can find a way to game the system.

Either way, Delta Airlines is now, yet another merchant that accepts Apple Pay.
