    My suggestion would be the SPG Amex purely because when I signed up to it, I got a promotion on my account for two free night certificates for two stays at any Marriott hotel. I stayed at the Moxy in London excel for just £49pn twice and then received the two certificates promptly.

    Just last year. I haven't heard anyone else being offered such a reward so I'm assuming it just be targeted only towards younger people like me. Currently they've given me an offer for 18,000 points after 3 stays.

    Very nice - 18k isn't a bad bonus either.
