- Free nightKeep-or-cancel test for the Bevy: independent reviewers (Upgraded Points, One Mile at a Time, The Points Guy) frame the card as best suited to cardholders who value the 6X earn at Marriott and the 4X earn at restaurants and U.S. supermarkets enough to justify the $250 annual fee on its own, since the Bevy lacks the Free Night Award that defines the keep-or-cancel math on Brilliant and the Chase Boundless / Bountiful
Travel & purchase protections
5- Secondary Car Rental Loss and Damage Insurance: when you use the Bevy Card to reserve and pay for the entire eligible rental and decline the rental company's collision damage waiver, coverage is provided as secondary to other applicable insurance (primary outside the U.S. when the cardholder has no other primary coverage), underwritten by AMEX Assurance Company subject to terms, conditions, and exclusions
- Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption Insurance: when you charge an entire round-trip to the Bevy Card and a covered reason cancels or interrupts the trip, coverage is provided by New Hampshire Insurance Company (an AIG Company), subject to terms, conditions, and limitations published in the Card Member Agreement and Guide to Benefits
- Trip Delay Insurance: covers reasonable additional expenses (meals, lodging, toiletries) when a covered trip is delayed more than 6 hours, when the entire fare is charged to the Bevy Card, per the Guide to Benefits with caps published per covered trip

More benefits & fine print (4)ShowHide
