The escape is carefully planned.
The Bonvoy Brilliant Amex offers a free night award, Platinum Elite status, and dining statement credits. You’ll earn 6 points per dollar spent on Marriott purchases and 3 points per dollar spent on flights and restaurants. The card has a $650 annual fee, but the benefits can be easily maximized with strategic use. The Priority Pass Select membership and Global Entry/TSA PreCheck statement credits are also valuable benefits.
The Bonvoy Brilliant is more than just a hotel card, with benefits that extend to dining and travel. However, the card’s high annual fee and limited earning rates on non-Marriott purchases may make it less appealing to some travelers.
