Marriott India has tied up with American Express to offer a new promotional 20% discount to American Express Cardmembers who plan a stay with a Marriott property in India for March or April 2021. LFAL Reader Gautam discovered this new discount, and American Express has not emailed members about this promotion so far (turned up on the website as I am writing this). Here are the details.

When you head to the Marriott India website, you get a 20% instant discount on your room to stay at the best available rate at all Marriott’s participating properties in India. To get the discount, you have to use the promotion code D3Q on the Marriott India Website. This will give you an instant 20% reduction on the price of the hotel, booked directly. You will then need to pay with an American Express Card at the time of checkout as well.

This offer is valid for bookings and stays from March 10 to April 30, 2021. Here is the full list of properties, including the ITC Hotels properties that participate in the Luxury Collection in India.

This is a spectacular offer as it is an authentic 20% off, and you can choose to pick it up as a room-only or a room+breakfast offer. Also, this is not just for high-end American Express cards, but all cards with American Express, including corporate cards and third-party cards such as those issued by ICICI Bank/IndusInd Bank and SBI Card.

Here are some rates for a stay in Mumbai in March 2021. As you can see, the rates on Marriott.com are already low. On top of that, there is a straight-up 20% discount.

I stayed at the St. Regis Mumbai for just INR 6,500 a night, and now I see at INR 5,600 ($77) a night as well.

All in all, this is a great promotion, and this also overlaps very well with the double points and double elite nights promotion of Marriott Bonvoy, which will provide some valuable Marriott Bonvoy points alongside.

Here are some great American Express Credit Cards and Charge Cards you can apply for to avail this offer as well if you don’t already have an American Express card:

• American Express Platinum Charge Card (1,20,000 Membership Rewards points for signing up via this link)
• American Express Membership Rewards Credit Card (4,000 Membership Rewards points and free for signing up via this link)
• American Express Platinum Travel Credit Card (4,000 Membership Rewards points and free for signing up via this link)
• American Express Platinum Reserve Credit Card (19,000 Membership Rewards points for signing up via this link)

Book up for a Marriott hotel on the Marriott.com website, save 20% using your American Express for your next staycation or your next business trip.
