Deal Details
This morning I noticed that the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant AMEX card increased their bonus offer again. It was 75k Bonvoy points, but now it's back up to 125k after you use your new card to make $5,000 in eligible purchases within the first 3 months of card membership. Also included is a $200 statement credit toward restaurant charges within the first 6 months.

You still get the $300 statement credit for eligible purchases at participating Marriott Bonvoy hotels, $100 property credit (at select chains, see terms below), 15 Elite night credits, a free night stay certificate on your anniversary (up to 50k points), plus Gold Elite status. See the terms below for all of these perks.

There is a $450 annual fee, not waived.

Offer is good until May 12, 2021.

$300 Marriott Bonvoy Statement Credit
During each year of your Card Membership ("reward year"), you are eligible to receive up to $300 total in statement credits on your Card Account for eligible purchases made directly at hotels and timeshare ownership properties participating in Marriott Bonvoy on your Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant™ American Express® Card during that reward year. Your first reward year begins on your account opening date. Each subsequent reward year begins on the anniversary of your account opening date.

Eligible Marriott Bonvoy property purchases must be made directly with the participating Marriott Bonvoy property and charged to your Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card account for the benefit to apply. Incidental charges (including charges made at restaurants, spas and other establishments within the hotel property) must be charged to your room and paid for with your Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card at checkout in order to be recognized as Marriott Bonvoy purchases. Online purchases of Marriott branded gift cards and purchases at Homes & Villas by Marriott International home share properties do not qualify as eligible purchases for this benefit.

Visit marriottbonvoy.com for the list of hotels participating in Marriott Bonvoy. Purchases made by both the Basic and Additional Card Members on the eligible Card Account are eligible for statement credits. However, each Card Account is eligible for up to a total of $300 per renewal year in statement credits across all Cards on the Card Account. Please allow 8-12 weeks after the eligible Marriott Bonvoy purchase is charged to your Card Account for statement credit(s) to be posted to the Account. Please call the number on the back of your Card if statement credits have not posted after 12 weeks from the date of purchase. Statement credit(s) may be reversed if the eligible purchase is returned/cancelled or if we, in our sole discretion, determine that you have engaged in abuse or misuse in connection with the benefit or that you intend to do so (for example, if you do not maintain an eligible Card Account for the duration of the reward year). Card Members remain responsible for timely payment of all charges.

$100 Marriott Bonvoy Property Credit
When you use your Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant™ American Express® Card to book through www.marriottbonvoy.com or by calling Marriott Bonvoy at 1-800-450-4442, for a two-night minimum stay at The Ritz-Carlton® or St. Regis® using the Member rate named "$100 Property Credit, Luxury Credit Card Rate", you will be eligible to receive a property credit of up to $100 per booking to be used on qualifying purchases on property. When booking online, you must be logged into the Marriott Bonvoy account linked to your Card account to be eligible to book this rate. When booking by phone, please reference the "$100 Property Credit, Luxury Credit Card Rate" Member rate. You must confirm you are booking the correct $100 property credit rate at time of booking. Card Member will receive a credit equal to $1 for each dollar of qualifying charges made at the property under the Card Member's booking, up to $100. The property credit will be applied as a credit on your bill upon checkout (and not on your American Express billing statement). Qualifying charges do NOT include property fees, taxes, gratuities and the cost of the room. Additional exclusions based on specific hotel restrictions may also apply (including, without limitation, purchases within the hotel that are made with a third party merchant). Please see the applicable hotel front desk for details. You must use your Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card to pay your bill upon checkout. Stays booked by either the Basic or an Additional Card Member on the eligible Card account are eligible for the $100 property credit benefit. Each booking is only eligible to receive a property credit of up to $100, regardless of the number of rooms booked. The property credit cannot be carried over to another stay, is not redeemable for cash, and expires at checkout if not used on qualifying purchases on property during the stay. The property credit is non-exchangeable and non-refundable and is applied in USD or equivalent in local currency based on exchange rate at time of checkout. May not be combined with other offers or programs unless indicated. Back-to-back stays within a 24-hour period at the same property are considered one stay.

15 Elite Night Credits
The 15 Elite Night Credits will be credited to your Marriott Bonvoy™ Member Account within 60 days upon opening your Card Account. On or before March 1 of each subsequent calendar year, the 15 Elite Night Credits will be credited to your Marriott Bonvoy Member Account operated by Marriott International, Inc., in accordance with Marriott Bonvoy terms and conditions, as long as your Card Account is open as of December 31 of the prior calendar year.

To be eligible to receive the 15 Elite Night Credits with this Card, you must be the Basic Card Member, and you must have an active Marriott Bonvoy Member Account linked to your Card Account. A maximum of 15 Elite Night Credits will be provided per Marriott Bonvoy Member Account, unless you have both an open small business Marriott Bonvoy Card account and an open consumer Marriott Bonvoy Card account; then, you may receive a combined maximum of 30 Elite Night Credits (15 per Card account). This benefit is not exclusive to Credit Cards offered by American Express.

Marriott points are worthless, if this is your first credit card I'd recommend starting with Chase Sapphire or AMEX.

Even without the points, IMO the perks of this card are worth keeping it long-term for anyone who regularly travels to Marriott hotels.

The free night up to 50k points can snag a pretty nice hotel worth a few hundred, plus the $300 in credits and Gold status and the perks that come with that.

The $200 restaurant bonus is icing on the cake for signing up, if the bonus points and other perks weren't already enough.

The wording on the terms isn't very clear. Multiple travel blogs suggest that this can be used for room rates, however.

I disagree I've had the SPG which became the Bonvoy card and actually hate it. The point redemption rates are ridiculously expensive and apart from the free night award there isn't much to be gained from the other benefits that isn't better than putting the $ on another card. And I don't even pay a yearly fee for my card, with that $450 this is just paying for the services they offer.

$450 annual fee. But if you're a Marriott traveler, this seems like a great deal. We are considering the Marriott card with the $95 fee.

Some of the highest rated credit cards and biggest credit card perks come from cards with annual fees. Some are justifiable and make sense on an individual basis and some don't, ymmv. Smilie
