Amex has brought back an offer that I don’t recall having seen since 2022 (I may have missed it last year) so it’s now offering targeted cardholders a rebate on stays made at select Mandarin Oriental properties in the US, Europe and Asia.

Thoughts

Mandarin Oriental has 40 properties worldwide and only 14 are participating in this promotion, so that’s not exactly a broad selection from which to choose, and the fact that the properties in, Bangkok, Barcelona, Prague, Taipei, Istanbul, Lake Como, and Milan are not participating is a little disappointing.

Participating properties:

Boston
Geneva
Hong Kong (Mandarin Oriental)
Hong Kong (The Landmark)
London (Hyde Park)
Luzern
Madrid
Miami
Munich
New York
Paris
Singapore
Tokyo
Zurich

Still, this is an improvement on the bad old days when some Amex Mandarin Oriental promotions only applied to 3 properties (all of which were in the United States).

Also, considering the cost of a night at a Mandarin Oriental property can often exceed $500 (and by quite a bit!), this should be a pretty easy offer to use for anyone looking to stay in one of the participating locations before the end of May.

I’ve chosen to load this card to card_name because even though I’m also seeing it on card_name (review) which earns me 2 points/dollar on up to $50,000 of eligible spending per year (1 point/dollar thereafter – terms apply), card_name doesn’t charge foreign transaction fees while card_name does, and I’d rather cut my earning rate to 1 point/dollar (terms apply) than pay fees that I should be avoiding.

Others, however, may be able to better – if you’ve been targeted for this offer on your card_name, for example, you’ll earn 3 points/dollar (terms apply).

Bottom line

Amex has brought back a targeted offer in which travelers can earn a rebate of $100 on stays made at select Mandarin Oriental properties through the end of May 2024. If you’ve been targeted for this offer (I suspect most cardholders will see this in their accounts), make sure you save it to the card that will earn you the most points for your stay.
