Guru’s Wrap-up
The Amex Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant card also has a 100K bonus through referrals for those who do not have an Amex Marriott card. But if you do, then the upgrade offer could be the best option.
If you were targeted, it could be a nice bonus without a hard pull. You can even get this bonus if you have the card. After 12 months (to be safe), you can downgrade again. It’s also possible to get the same upgrade offer in the future. Let me know if you received an upgrade offer.
