However, later the same day I also requested the credit by Secure Message (for "baggage fees) and it was approved. Very YMMV now but still doable. 2/10/2017
Southwest Airlines GCs work fairly easily. I've generally bought them for $150 and said they're excess baggage fees.

The expiration date printed on the card does not guarantee that the card, or it's features, will remain valid to that date.

Yes, that was my point, and why I stated in my post "does everyone think it will even last five years?" I was hoping someone could provide additional insight and or had further knowledge they could share, but I guess we will have to wait and see.

There is a disclaimer at the beginning that states there is no change in benefits. Maybe it’s an oversight on the Marriott website and hopefully will reflect correctly when Chase posts it on theirs.

Not much difference other than adding St. Regis properties to the $100 stay credit.

This is from a June 2018 solicitation I received, "ENJOY PLATINUM STATUS When you spend $75,000 on your card in an account year, you will be automatically elevated to Platinum Elite Status.*"

I'm sure this is easily out there -- but the 15 EQN count towards Choice Benefit qualification, right? Lifetime here so don't care about EQN other than to get choice benefits.
