Wanted to run this by the FT crew before proceeding. Few facts below:
3/20/15 - Applied for the Chase Marriott Premier
6/29/15 - 70,000 Marriott points post to my account
5/13/16 - Cancelled card
I cancelled the card exactly 2 years and 1 day ago. No issue on 5/24, worried about the 2 year product rule. Should I wait a week or two before applying to hedge against transaction vs. effective date, system lag, business days, phase of the moon, sorcery. etc.?
I've been MS on the Ink for the past couple years, so have largely ignored new offers (outside of the CSR). But figured between the Marriott premier personal and business offering, plus whatever AMEX comes out with August, that's ~500K+ Marriott points (wife and I) for relatively little effort/spend. Would be pissed if I applied for this card and didn't get the bonus.
And I'm aware of this data point, but I don't want to be a guinea pig for the 2 year rule, and I'm still going to ask the question.

How does Chase calculate the relevant 24-month period? By calendar months? By exact days?
In February 2017, a FTer reported a successful application a day or two after dropping from 5/24 to 4/24. However, because Chase sometimes approves applicants who are at 5/24 exactly (see above), this data point does not conclusively prove that Chase drops cards from its calculation on the exact 24-month anniversary of the previous bonus.

While it's prudent to wait a little while after cancelling (just to make sure the cancellation registers in all of their systems), you certain don't have to wait two years. I had a Chase Marriott Premier open for half a dozen years, cancelled it around February after my 15 nights for the year posted, and applied for another Chase Marriott Premier in late April. I was more interested in getting yet another 15 elite night credits to post, which they did, and in getting one 1 elite night credit for every $3000 spend, than in anything that the new card offers, and that's why I applied for the old card in April.
But the same timing could have applied to the new card had I preferred to get that one instead (a couple weeks later).

I have my Marriott visa card for over ten years and the new Marriott premium plus visa looks very appealing.
My question is my visa card has the word signature on it, does it consider the same product as the new premium plus card?
Is this signature visa only allowed to upgrade because it is considered the same product as the premium? or it is a different product that I can apply and earn the 100,000 bonus points?

The "same card" application rules are: (1) It has be at least 24 months since you earned the signup bonus on your previous card of the "same" type (which would certainly be the case if you've had it over ten years) and the previous card has to be closed.
* But make sure you're under 5/24,(ie, that your credit report shows no more than 4 bank cards --- open or closed -- with "opened on" dates in the past 24 months). Because if you're 5/24 or over, you'll be denied for the new card if you apply outright, and upgrading (or waiting until you fall under 5/24) is your only option.

Denied new application for Premier Plus despite meeting all requirements
The statement on Marriott website said clearly: 2 years. I have the old Marriott Premier for 2.5 years, so I cancelled it. Then the next day I filled an online application, was told the decision will be in mail (which is never a good sign. I have perfect credit rating and 100% of the time I get instant online approval). Sure enough it was a letter claiming I didn't meet the qualifications for this card and I'm denied eligibility.
My question - I've met all the fine prints posted on the web. Why has Marriott or the card issuer still deny me? The letter itself didn't say specifically which qualifications I didn't meet, simply I was a Premier CC holder and thus I'm not qualify to this new 100,000 miles offer. Horrific...

What happened when you followed the "fine prints posted on the web." - i.e. the printed terms of the offer?
When you called, did they tell you to cancel your current card and apply for a new one, despite the guidance that seems to say you won't get a bonus if you do exactly what you did.
Why do you believe somoene on Flyertalk can answer this question?
Here's a crazy idea - maybe ask the issuer who actually denied the application.

If you are an existing Marriott Rewards Premier customer and would like this product, please call the number on the back of your card to see if you are eligible for a product change. You will not receive the new cardmember bonus if you change products.

Why Was I Denied Credit?
While there are regulations that protect you when seeking credit, there is no law that guarantees credit approval. Some reasons why your application may be denied include:
You do not meet the creditor's minimum income requirement;
You have not been living at your address or working at your job for the required amount of time;
You are too near your credit limits; and
The information contained on the credit report is incorrect.
What Can I Do If I Have Been Denied Credit?
The Equal Credit Opportunity Act ensures that all consumers have an equal chance to obtain credit and requires that a creditor explain its reasoning when declining your credit application. Specifically, the Act requires that the creditor:
Provide a notice that tells you exactly why the application was rejected; and
Give you the opportunity to request an explanation if you ask within 60 days.

The next day? Obviously, the account cancellation hadn't yet propagated across all the IT systems. Maybe wait a month and try again...
