If you are more interested in a business credit card, the American Express Marriott Bonvoy Business card offers identical benefits as the American Express Marriott Bonvoy card, albeit with a higher welcome bonus.
This means that cardholders will still receive the annual free night certificate worth 35,000 Marriott Bonvoy points and 15 elite qualifying nights. If you hold both versions of the card you will receive two free night certificates annually, but you will only still receive 15 elite qualifying nights towards Marriott Bonvoy status.

Hi,
If I apply for Amex Platinum now (Sept 5th), would still be able to avail lower annual fee? Or you think my annual fee will posted after September 26th and I will end up paying higher annual fee.
Yes you would get the lower annual fee, making it a great time to apply:
Essentially you don’t pay any fee, and in fact have a gain of $50, not even mentioning the welcome bonus.
