You will also be excluded if you currently hold or have recently held the Ritz-Carlton card. Interestingly they won’t look at whether you’ve had an SPG personal/business card."
That's what I referring to, but I had a typo (which I just corrected now) which said "past years" when I meant "past 2 years" (ie, past 24 months). And if you read carefully, DoC is not just mentioning the Ritz card, he puts "/Marriott" after it and then says "including Marriott business". So he's mentioning all Chase Marrriott + Ritz cards.

As to the speculation that Chase may add this same rule to their Marriott cards, that's just speculation at this point. I didn't say it was going to happen, just that it might happen.
