One of my (many) failings is that I tend to skim across the offers that Amex targets me for with my brain often only registering the offers for well-known hotel chains, airlines, and consumer brands and that’s how I very nearly missed the targeted offer for spending with Preferred Hotels (I’ve never heard of them).

Fortunately, today was one of my more alert days and after checking which hotels this offer covers, I’m glad I was paying a little bit more attention than usual.

Thoughts

As I mentioned in the opening paragraph, I’ve never heard of “Preferred Hotels” and until I took a closer look at the hotels this promotion covers I assumed that it was a group of small and relatively uninteresting properties that were trying to sound upscale by using the word “preferred” in their collective name.

I was wrong.

A quick look at the Preferred Hotels’ website shows that it’s a collection of over 650 “independent hotels and independent hotel experiences” across over 80 countries, and even though this offer only covers properties in the US and US territories, some of the properties at which this discount is available look very good.

Example properties:

  • Pendry West Hollywood, California
  • Pendry Manhattan, New York
  • SLS Hotel & Residences Miami, Florida
  • Rancho Bernardo Inn San Diego, California
  • Montage Kapalua Bay, Hawaii
  • Balboa Bay Resort, Newport Beach, California
  • Inn By The Sea, Cape Elizabeth, Maine
  • Boston Harbour Hotel, Massachusetts
  • Windsor Court Hotel, New Orleans, Louisiana

A key thing that I noticed while browsing through the Preferred Hotel collection is that while there are some very high-end properties in the portfolio (e.g. Carneros Resort & Spa in Napa), there are plenty of very good and reasonably priced properties too – you should have to blow your savings just to make the most of this offer.

As far as how to make the most of this offer goes…

As usual, I’ve chosen to load this offer to card_name (review) because it hasn’t been targeted to any of my other cards that offer a bonus for travel or hotel spending.

If you’ve been targeted, hopefully, you’ll have this offer available on a card like the card_name which will earn you, amongst other bonuses, 3 points/dollar on travel (terms apply).

Note: All information about the American Express® Green Card has been collected independently by Traveling For Miles. The American Express® Green Card is not currently available through Traveling For Miles.

Bottom line

Amex has launched a new targeted offer for spending with Preferred Hotels through the middle of December. Make sure you read the terms and conditions of your targeted offer carefully before making any bookings and make sure you add the offer to a credit card that will earn you bonus points for travel/hotel stays to ensure that you maximize your earnings.
