Review: Is the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Amex the best card for you?
If you frequently stay at Marriott hotels, the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant™ American Express® Card is a great option for making your stays more luxurious and accelerating your points earning toward the next award stay.
It has a $450 annual fee (See Rates), which means it's geared toward Marriott Bonvoy loyalists who stay at the chain's properties several times a year. If that describes you, it's not hard to get significant value from this card.

You'll earn 6 points per dollar spent on eligible purchases at Marriott hotels, 3 points per dollar spent on airline tickets and at US restaurants, and 2 points per dollar spent everywhere else. You'll also earn a free night certificate every year after your account anniversary, which you can redeem at Marriott Bonvoy properties that cost up to 50,000 points per night. Especially if you use this free night at an expensive Marriott hotel, you can get some great value from this benefit alone.
