My sense is that the spending on current card should be rolling over to the new card.

According to Marriott Rewards Credit Cards you get Platinum Elite when you hit 75k. You get Gold Elite for just holding the card.

Unless you “upgrade” (if they allow it while keeping the number etc) the spend is unlikely to carry over.
