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!
That's what happened to me. I didn't notice in the terms that marriott chase card holders were ineligible. I assumed I goofed and would not get the 70k but it turned out I did get the points. Without any notice, however, chase closed my marriott card. Not a huge deal, but I did like the free cat 1-4 night each year.
