Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card

Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card

While the annual fee makes this card one of the more premium ones available, the annual benefits alone help the card pay for itself thanks to the $300 Marriott Bonvoy statement credit, free night award, property credit, and more. All of the offers are easy to track in the Offers section of the app.
