The SPG guy said I should also call MR to unlink on their end so I did, waited on hold for over an hour, and ultimately was told by MR they have no way to unlink.
So I guess I can just hope for the best -- it shows that it's unlinked on the SPG side for now at least. Waiting to apply for the RC card until I can confirm that the MR status has been reset, so fingers crossed here.
If you're MR Plat I'm not sure what you're concerned about. You're getting plat regardless, unless you're a 75K spending hoping to go to plat premier?
For the record, it unlinked on the SPG side for me after about 12 hours. Marriott is still linked. I call them this morning and they sent in a "work order" to have it unlinked. I'm probably just being overly paranoid here but since I just got the R-C card primarily to get platinum through to the end of 2019 I don't want any trouble.
