My bad, I misquoted. This paragraph is for the additional 25k per $25k spend, earning a total of 100k pts for $100k spend additional per year. I got confused with the sign up bonus.
As quoted on from the press release..
That must be taking its toll on spend because starting February 24th existing Starwood Preferred Guest® Credit Card from American Express cardmembers whose accounts were opened by January 23, 2019 will be eligible to earn up to 100,000 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points. Registration will be required and the offer will be 25,000 bonus points for every $25,000 in eligible purchases on the Card up to 100,000 points through the end of the year.
To my 2nd point, I guess I should rephrase, Marriott is reducing points earn rate through its CC channel.
