The ABCE is definitely a solid card. 3% back on all online retail + Supermarkets & streaming is excellent if you don’t want to juggle a lot of cards. The aspire remains an incredibly profitable card, even if you really do have to go outside of the USA to get the best benefits from diamond status. I am still not a fan of the brilliant. It is definitely much improved, but because of the devaluation of Marriott points it is basically just a slightly better than break even card rather than a profit machine like the aspire. On top of that, it’s a mediocre points earner. It is still tempting if you are traveling outside of the US, though. That platinum status doesn’t mean a lot here, but can offer some major upgrades in the UK, EU, or Asia.

I'm only Marriott Gold and I've been upgraded to suites twice in Asia. If you are international than I agree, its much better for upgrades.
“Most Improved Card” nice category to include
Great update! How did you get the watch hours?
Just having a lot of videos, and a couple vids get most the watch time.
