This is great news! I thought I had to dump all my Amex Marriott cards before applying for any of the Chase Marriott cards. But apparently not...

And I trust this holds true for current Bevy cardholders as well as Brilliant? (Ack, never mind, P2 received an Upgrade Bonus for that one a few months ago...)

Does the clock start on the 24-month rule from the date of the card approval or the date on which the SUB posted??
