That's interesting. I notice that the 15 elite qualifying nights aren't mentioned. I also wonder if this will be considered a different card than the Premier. If so, would it be possible to get the Marriott Premier card now, and then the Premier Plus having both cards open at the same time? If so, would the cardholder get the bonus for both cards without having to wait 2 years?

I also have concerns that existing Premier cards could automatically be converted to this Premier Plus without enough notice for us to shut down the Premier card first. If Chase is doing away with the Marriott Business Visa, will the business cards be sold and converted to Amex like the Citi Hilton cards were?

There isn't anyway to know the answers to those questions at this point. But I wonder...
