Looking for SUB, earning rate, perks or status? A few options based on that

The Amex funded brilliant gets some status and perks unavailable on the chase platform but the SUB is fairly underwhelming (imo) given the cost. The certificates that come with the boundless have some limitations which requires a little more thinking that just true points you’ll get in the average SUB. Essentially gives you flexibility to use a 50k cert on a 65k room assuming you can add the additional 15k points to offset. If you don’t book a 50k room, you don’t retain the balance of the cert, too.
If you’re going to do 6 stays at a Marriott by the end of next Jan, best offer is actually probably the Bold. 50k SUB with additional 50k after 6 stays and no fee. It’s one of the chase cards that can churn more easily than the Amex
