Seal The Deal Travels: "You’re now excluded from the Amex Marriott Bonvoy Bevy’s signup bonus if you ever have the Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant Card. If you have a clean slate with Marriott cards and want the signup bonus from all personal Amex Marriott cards, then you’d have to signup for the Bevy first before applying for the Brilliant."
Points Wire Note:
It's been a year of Amex card family restrictions. First there were restrictions across the various personal versions of the Amex Platinum. Next, Amex stopped allowing people to get the Amex Gold bonus if they'd previously opened an Amex Platinum (any of the personal versions). Now, they're restricting co-branded Marriott cards.
Things have certainly tightened up this year and it's made putting together a card strategy even more important if you want to maximize your points earning. Learning each bank's application and bonus rules is more important than ever.
