Ha I’m the 1st comment.

Next I’m hoping the Bonvoy Brilliant adds Platinum Elite status 😁👌
Turning a hotel credit card i planned on getting into another monthly coupon book. That credit is in no way travel themed/friendly. It just forces monthly use on the card to hopefully make use out of the credit. Hoping that kinda bad mojo doesn’t get on my aspire card. These credit card companies need to learn that the cards that win are the ones that require less micro management and easy used statement credits. User friendly helps us as consumers. But monthly credits, enrolled benefits, and drip feed credits with category restrictions is what helps them. And for god sakes AMEX NO MORE WINE OFFERS! Lmao
I might get this card next
I love how Ben traveled once to the Caribbean years ago and he still uses photos from that same trip, hahaha!
I got the Iberia version of the BA avios card and it has been nothing but nightmares. I earned the bonus back in April and still haven't received my avios. There's a whole thread on flyertalk with people who signed up for this card and still not received their bonus. Pretty much the biggest SCAM I fell into. Pretty pissed off with Chase and Iberia atm.
Now the AMEX Marriot card is basically useless after your first year, because of the bonus. The hotel credit was way more valuable than this Restrictive monthly credit.
Who thinks the Gold card should come with the priority pass 10 visits ?
Thankfully already used the $300 credit this year. Just renewed this card, but was able to get a 60k retention offer. Not sure I’ll be keeping it after this year though, not a fan of this change.
Was that Grand Cayman in your video??
The Bonvoy Brilliant change is pretty disappointing tbh, as it's one of the primary reasons why I got the card. Not to mention I've figured out that the free night reward is actually pretty limited (definitely nowhere near as good as Hilton's free night). If they were to add all of the changes listed in that focus group screenshot then I would probably keep it but as of now, it's likely on the chopping block once renewal comes around.
AMEX gold need that type of reward flexibility for the dinning credit.
I think the dining credit is a downgrade. Not a fan of Amex continuing the trend of going the monthly credit route.
Hard to beat the sign up bonus of the Marriot Bonvoy Boundless for 5 free nights and annual certificate. Just started working on my sign up spend.
Add time stamps
I think even though everyone is talking about the devaluation of the Marriott Amex, it's still a great time to get it if you're planning to stay at a Marriott in the next three months or if you're going to prepay for your hotel stay. I mean I think everyone spends at least $25 a month eating out or going to get coffee & most of that codes as dining so I think this card is a no brainer with being able to get both credits + I plan on using the Global Entry benefit which makes it even more of a no brainer. AND, you still get a sign up bonus that can be worth 500-600+. Also, I am not forgetting that you can still downgrade to the $95 AF discontinued Marriott card which still keeps your account open and still gives you a free night every year up to 35,000 points but can be stacked up to 50,000.
Is the BA statement credit only for NYC-Lon flights?
I will cancel now unless a benefit is added complete devaluation for me. I am not interested in preparing for 300$ worth of food essentially smh
Canada needs more bonuses like these…
I'm actually glad that I downgraded my brilliant card.
Fan of your channel, but seems like you breezed over the big amex brilliant change with the $300 credit. Myself and most people it seems, think this is a devaluation and negative. Dining credits are fine for their charge cards, but if I get a hotel credit card I want hotel perks, like a hotel statement credit. Why would I want a hotel card that gives me dining credits.. I'm personally canceling the Brilliant card and getting the Hilton Aspire 🤷♂️
That sucks. No point of getting the card any more
I will not be renewing my bonvoy card or my wife's.
Mixed feelings on the $300 Brilliant credit. It's nice that it can be used at restaurants and doesn't have to be expensive delivery services but now I have to remember to use that card for restaurants once per month. It's nice that we have a few months notice, I need to make sure we use the $300 Marriott credit before then so we can get both this year. I'll still probably keep the card, at least for another year once October rolls around but we'll see how the dining credit goes. Worst case I should be able to downgrade it to another $95 Marriott Amex to get two 35k certs per year.
Max rewards wont open for me. I now use card pointers
US domestic and International lounges are the absolute worst and are an embarrassment. The Cathay Pacific first class lounge in Hong Kong or Emerits first class in Dubai or Qantas first in Sydney are pretty amazing. Nothing close in the US.
