It has def been almost 60 days since downgrading the RC, Does a product change to Boundless mean that she is subject to a new 90 day waiting period rather than the 30 days for having the Ritz?

Trying to understand the decision process and timing
Welcome offer not available to applicants who (i) have or have had The Ritz-Carlton® Credit Card from JPMorgan or the J.P. Morgan Ritz-Carlton Rewards® Credit Card in the last 30 days, (ii) have acquired the Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful™ Credit Card from Chase, the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card from Chase, or the Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card from Chase in the last 90 days, or (iii) received a new Card Member bonus or upgrade offer for the Marriott Bonvoy Bountiful™ Credit Card from Chase, the Marriott Bonvoy Boundless® Credit Card from Chase, or the Marriott Bonvoy Bold® Credit Card from Chase in the last 24 months.
I guess a "product change" counts as "acquired", so you have to wait another 90 days.

I was going to reupgrade to the Brilliant for the 85k cert later this year, but if the dining credits are not posting I don't think I'm going to bother. Will get the Ritz instead soon. I would rather use Boundless (Visa) than Amex overseas anyway because there's a risk it isn't accepted.
