It compared 2 versions of the card, one with a $650 annual fee and another with a $750 annual fee, both with a lot of different benefit combinations. It also asked about a potential $250 mid-tier Marriott card. Now about 8 months later, Amex & Marriott are at it again with ROUND 2! The Points Guy recently published a blog post titled, “Are new benefits – but a big fee hike – coming to the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Amex?” (Direct link above) It shows a screenshot from a new survey that inquired about the Bonvoy Brilliant Card with a $650 annual fee, plus different benefits from the original December survey. Here’s a breakdown… The CURRENT Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant card has the following benefits: - Marriott Gold Elite Status, plus earn Platinum Elite Status with $75K spend - Free Night Award up to a 50,000-point value - 15 Elite Night Credits - $100 Luxury Credit, valid at Ritz-Carlton & St. Regis properties - $300 Annual Marriott Statement Credit - Priority Pass Membership - Global Entry / TSA PreCheck credit The RUMORED / NEW Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant card could have (based on survey questions): - Marriott Platinum Elite Status, plus earn Titanium Elite Status with $75K spend - 1 Free Night Award up to an 85,000-point value - 2nd Free Night Award up to an 85,000-point value after $50K spend - 25 Elite Night Credits - $100 Luxury Credit, valid at Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, +1 more brand - Annual Card Choice Award after $50K spend. Choose from: 50,000 Marriott points, 40% discount on bedding, gift set, Gift Gold status to a friend, or 15% off the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection - $300 statement credit on dining (issued as $25/mo.) - Priority Pass membership - Global Entry / TSA PreCheck credit As an alternative to automatic Platinum Elite Status, there could be a “+1 Status” feature that boosts your status up 1 level from the level you achieved (e.g. if you earned Gold, you’d get bumped to Platinum). Interestingly, for those who spend $50K on the card, they could end up with… - At least 100K points via base spend ($50K * 2X points) - Another 50K points via Card Choice Award - 2 Free Night Awards worth up to 85K points each That’s a total value of up to 320,000 points! (Approximate average value = $2,240!)
