American Express, Marriott Bonvoy expand Canadian card portfolio

American Express Canada and Marriott Bonvoy are expanding their co-brand portfolio with the new Marriott Bonvoy Bright American Express Card, a no-annual-fee Card launching Feb. 9, 2027.

The new Card will join the existing Marriott Bonvoy American Express and Marriott Bonvoy Business American Express Cards, which are being enhanced to include complimentary Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite Status.

The expanded three-Card portfolio builds on the companies’ more than 15-year relationship in Canada, giving consumers and small business owners more ways to turn everyday spending into memorable stays, once-in-a-lifetime experiences and more.

Rey Saeidi, Vice President, Proprietary and Co-Brand Products, Lending and Rewards at American Express Canada, said that: “Travel is a powerful motivator for our Cardmembers, and our relationship with Marriott Bonvoy helps turn everyday spending into experiences they can look forward to.”

Saeidi continued: “With the introduction of the no-annual-fee Marriott Bonvoy Bright Card, we’re making it easier for more Canadians to experience the benefits of Marriott Bonvoy, whether they’re just starting to explore the program or looking for more ways to turn everyday spending into future travel.”

Jamie Russo, Vice President, Global Cobrand Cards and Insurance at Marriott, said that: “Our longstanding relationship with American Express is rooted in a shared commitment to helping members get more from Marriott Bonvoy,” “With the introduction of Marriott Bonvoy Bright and enhancements across the portfolio, we’re giving Canadians even more ways to engage with Marriott Bonvoy, whether they’re planning their next stay, working toward Elite Status or earning points along the way.”

The expanded portfolio offers options for different spending and travel needs, backed by the award-winning service and support Canadians expect from American Express.
