I know there were rumors before Amex refreshed the Bonvoy Brilliant, changed benefits, and increased the annual fee. Moreover, sending out surveys to existing cardmembers is nothing new. However, I've seen a few posts on Reddit, and rumors on at least one travel blog , so I wanted to open a thread on Flyertalk as well.
At this point, these are just rumors. However, as someone that holds 2 Aspires and is working on getting a 3rd one at the end of May, I hope they hold off.
It looks like they may be eliminating the Resort credit, breaking up the airline and hotel credits into $50 quarterly credits, and increasing the annual fee to $550.00.

It'll also be interesting if they add a monthly Lyft benefit, considering Amex partners with Uber, though Hilton has a partnership with Lyft.
