The 15 nights from the Chase Premier Marriott Rewards Visa card counts toward elite status. It always has.
Note: this is the CC hat gives you 5 points per dollar spent at Marriott Properties, 2 points for dining, airlines, & rental car charges, and 1 point for everything else.
Whether or not the 10 nights from the Chase Signature Marriott Rewards Visa card (the one that gives you Silver status) counts toward elite status someone else will have to address. Also, I wonder if it depends if you have the card prior to the benefit changes that were made about a year ago. This card used to just give you Silver elite status and then about a year or so ago they changed the benefit to giving holders 10 nights credit. I wondered if the new benefit was bestowed upon CC holders who had the card prior to the changes.
