The Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant card comes with a $450 fee, but you get $300 in statement credits each year and now the additional $200 in credits for U.S. Restaurants purchases. That already takes care of the annual fee. You actually come out $50 ahead and you get a big welcome bonus of 125K points. This is a great opportunity for for frequent Marriott guests.
The same goes for the business card. It comes with a $125 annual fee but you get a $150 credit right away. So a $25 profit and a 100K points bonus.
