Eligible purchases to meet the Purchase Requirement includes goods and services minus returns and other credits. Eligible purchases do not include fees or interest charges, cash advances, purchases of travelers checks, purchases or reloading of prepaid cards, purchases of gift cards, person-to-person payments, or purchases of other cash equivalents. This benefit is only available to the Basic Card Member on the Card Account and only one Brilliant Earned Choice Award may be earned each calendar year. Purchases by both the Basic Card Member and any Additional Card Members on the Card Account are eligible toward the Purchase Requirement. To qualify for the Earned Choice Award, your Card account must be open and not in default at the time the Award is earned.
Once you reach the Purchase Requirement for the Brilliant Earned Choice Award, you can select from one of the available benefits by visiting https://www.choice-benefit.marriott.com/brilliant. Your selection must be made online through this website and may not be made through Member Support.
You must select your earned Brilliant Earned Choice Award benefit by February 1st of the year following when you reached the Purchase Requirement. For example, if you reach the Purchase Requirement at any time in 2023, you must select your Brilliant Earned Choice Award benefit by February 1, 2024. In the event that you reach the Purchase Requirement for the Brilliant Earned Choice Award and fail to select a Brilliant Earned Choice Award by 11:59 pm EST February 1st of the year following when you reached the Purchase Requirement, you will automatically receive the Five Suite Night Awards as your Brilliant Earned Choice Award benefit.
