The intro bonus points offer is also 30k higher right now than the brilliant, so even if you aren't platinum, sign up for the cheaper card, get the bonus and do a product upgrade.
The Boundless also has the added advantage that you get an extra Elite Night Credit for every $5000 spent. I made my wife an authorized user on the card and unfortunately I usually make Titanium.
