Bonvoy Amex Brilliant - First year, Bonus was 100K, (applied during that short 5 day window with no lifetime language), used the $300 credit and Global Entry. Minimal spend due to poor earning rate, although had some really good Amex Offers that more than offset the annual fee... No retention offers, nothing!
Downgraded to $95 fee version. Product change occurred overnight and fees were adjusted accordingly.
I'm put off with Marriott charging resort fees, parking fees on award nights and doing everything to prevent free breakfast, have moved most of my stays to Hyatt.
Hopefully I can get some good Amex Offers and good use of the 35K annual certificate.
