Marriott International Inc. has signed agreements with JPMorgan Chase & Co. and American Express Co. for its U.S.-issued, co-brand credit cards associated with its loyalty programs.
The multiyear pacts will extend Marriott's relationship with both card issuers and cover the Marriott Rewards and Ritz-Carlton Rewards Visa credit cards from JPMorgan and the Starwood Preferred Guest credit cards from American Express.
The company expects to introduce co-brand products in 2018, including super-premium consumer and small-business co-branded products from American Express, and mass consumer and premium consumer co-branded products from JPMorgan. American Express and JPMorgan will retain their existing portfolio of accounts and continue to offer their current products until 2018. Also, there will be no changes to Marriott's existing co-brand cards for members for the time being.
