The Brilliant Earned Choice Award

After spending $60,000 on eligible purchases in a calendar year on the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card, Card Members may select an award as part of the Brilliant Earned Choice Award. Limited to one award per calendar year, per Card Account. Benefit options include:

  • 5 Nightly Upgrade Awards

    Nightly Upgrade Awards can be requested after your reservation is confirmed, up to 2 p.m. local time of the Participating Property one (1) day prior to arrival. Each Nightly Upgrade Award may be redeemed for a one-night upgrade for select premium rooms or suites on a per-room, per-night basis, subject to availability. There must be enough Nightly Upgrade Awards in your Marriott Bonvoy member account so that one is applied to every night of the reservation including free nights.

  • 1 Free Night Award valued at up to 85K points

    You can redeem the Free Night Award for a one-night standard guest room stay at hotels participating in Marriott Bonvoy® with a redemption level at or under 85,000 points. Certain hotels have resort fees.

  • $1,000 Off a Bed from any Marriott Bonvoy® retail brand

    Card Members will receive an email with a promotional code valued at $1,000 off Marriott Bonvoy retail brand mattresses and box springs.

If you made $60,000 or more in eligible purchases on your Card this year, sign in and choose your benefit by February 1, 2026. If no selection is made by the deadline, 5 Nightly Upgrade Awards will be deposited in your account as your selection.
