Let's compare the Chase Ritz-Carlton card vs the Amex Marriott Brilliant card. Both of these credit cards are valuable hotel cards; however they do very different things.
The Ritz-Carlton credit card's benefits and credits help to easily justify its $450 annual fee. Those perks mainly come in the form of an annual $300 airline credit and an annual free night award. The free night award can be use at any Marriott property with a redemption level of 85,000 Marriott points or less. That benefit alone can be worth over $400! The Ritz-Carlton also comes with a Priority Pass membership that also gives credit at Priority Pass restaurants.
The Amex Marriott Brilliant card's benefits and credits are a little more spread out. You have an annual $300 dining credit that is broken down into $25 monthly increments. This card also comes with the same valuable free night award that is on the Ritz-Carlton credit card. Then for elevated Marriott status, the Amex Brilliant comes with 25 elite night credits and automatic Marriott Platinum status.
The main catch with the Ritz-Carlton card is that it is discontinued and can only be obtained via a product change. In this video I go over the steps to get approved for Ritz-Carlton credit card.
Both cards are packed with benefits and credits but which one suits your lifestyle better?
