Keep AMEX Bonvoy Brilliant or switch?
 

I have had the AMEX Brilliant card for around 3 years. Primarily use it for Priority Pass lounge access when traveling esp internationally and use the dining credit regularly, plus when staying at a Marriott property.

Between these uses and the annual night cert, I think I am breaking even on the fees but wondering if there is a better card I should switch to for lower fees or better benefits.

AMEX Platinum is one I’m familiar with but the fees are even higher (used to have that before I switched to this one). Upgrading to Chase reserve from current Sapphire is another option but the additional card user fees make it expensive. Any others I should consider?

other cards I have and use:
- Chase Sapphire
- AmEX Green
- Chase Hyatt Visa

Thanks!

It all depends on what your overall situation and needs are with cards

I personally find the Capital One Venture X, the single best option as 395$ fee is repaid by 10k miles and 300$ travel credit
That and 2x points makes it a free Priority Pass enabled card, with extra lounges at both our airports.

We also have a Ritz Carlton card - for a whole lot of friends and family for the pass.
We almost never spend on it

For cash back the best card is
A
4% with no annual fees
US Bank Smartly if spending below 10k a month
B
2.625% with no to minimal fees
BofA Premium or Unlimited Rewards for unlimited spend

Both require a large amount on deposit at USB or BofA but that can be an IRA or a brokerage account with stocks and funds you already have

If you have a lot of airfare spend, then the Amex Platinum can fit your bill due to 5x miles

If you live in a high rent or mortgage situation, the Bilt 2.0 card may be the best.

At least wait on the BoA cards right now, since they are supposed to announce changes to the Preferred Rewards program this month.
