American Express Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Credit Card Welcome Offer increased to 185,000 points (Bevy, 155,000)
Offer ends 05/01/2024. The standard Brilliant offer is 85,000 Marriott points which is now up 100,000 points to 185,000. The Bevy is also up to a 155,000 point welcome offer.
I have the Brilliant card and it's a great way to earn Platinum status automatically, but also to work towards Lifetime Platinum with 25 elite night credits. Stack with the Marriott Bonvoy Business card for a total of 40 elite nights each year, only 10 away from earning suite night awards. The $650 annual fee is steep, but easily reducible to $350 with the $300 dining credit ($25 per month), which is so easy to get it's nearly same-as-cash. It also provides an annual free night award at a 85,000 point redemption level (higher than other cards). And it comes with Priority Pass Select for airport lounge access like most premium cards. That's a lot of value for $350 per year.

- $300 travel credit (simple to use)
- $180 instacart ($15/mo in groceries if if you do pickup and use a store that charges the same prices on instacart as they do in store)
- $60 doordash (I do pickup and I let the credit stack up for 3mos max to $15 then pickup Chipotle which has the same prices as in store)
- Total is $540 in credits, thats not including priority pass with restaurants, which allows you and one person to have a $28/each meal, thats another $56 in credits with only one flight, one way.
Bonvoy Brilliant- $300/25 mo restaurant credit (easy to use, dine out or in anywhere and the credit of $25 is automatic)
- 85k free night cert (easily worth another $300 depending on where you book.)
- Platinum status (Free breakfast at Marriotts with lounges, saves you easily $60+ a day in breakfast and snacks/beverages)
- Elite Night credits, late checkout, priority pass, but you already the better priority pass through your CSR
Both cards are "keeper cards" for my family and we get well above the fees values from each. As you can tell, I left off a lot of other benefits that come with having both. But I wanted to point out how you could possible make both work.CSR

My wife and I are planning lots of travel this Spring and Summer and planning on using our Bonvoy points so that alone might make it worth jumping on Brilliant.

Sprouts in my area used to have free pickup with instore prices on the instacart app, however, they recently changed to "higher than in-store item prices".
