I did take one of the flyers - it is legit, or Marriott has gone to great expense to print off some shiny new cards.
I would expect that the status match would be Gold to Gold and Platinum to Platinum. As for the miles conversion rate likely 2-3MR:1SPG but that's speculation at this point until the imminent announcement.
