Why We Like It

Both Amex and Chase offer co-branded Marriott credit cards.

The Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Card is issued by Amex and is a high-end card. For those who want the perks of status without having to stay 50+ nights, this is the card to get.

If you have or have had an Amex or Chase co-branded Marriott Bonvoy card, you might be restricted from getting this card and/or the welcome bonus.
