Everything pretty much stays the same. You can actually continue to use the same physical Surpass card (though Amex will issue you a new one, you can use the old til you activate the new) and your account number stays the same. As does your billing date, online account, everything. Quite nice actually.

I've been actually getting 1000 pts/stay with 500 pts posting twice. It's a glitch I think that I won't complain about...
