Actually, I'm happy to report this was NOT the case for me! I received the Marriott Chase 70k bonus in March, kept the card open, applied for the 140k RC card (with $395 fee via phone with code), and my Chase acct is now showing 142k pending MR/RC pts after statement closed yesterday!
I did, however, see another case where an applicant had his Marriott automatically closed by Chase when he got the RC, which didn't happen to me, so YMMV. Good luck!
