Boundless vs Brillilant re five nights, Plat status, etc
I'm aware of most of the relative merits of the Boundless and Brilliant cards, but have a few questions:
1. I'm sure the info is in here somewhere but I can't find it...Re the five free 50K nights that come with the Boundless card: Must they all be used during the first year of having it? Or could they be used in Year 2, Year 3, etc?
2. What is the Platinum status that comes with the Brilliant card worth these days? Specifically it provide a reasonable chance of getting a suite upgrade?
3. Across all of the Marriott subgrands, how much is the Boundless complemintary breakfast benefit honored and how good is it (e.g., continental vs full breakfast)?
Thanks for any help.
