From what I recall, the 15 nights will only kick in starting next year if you obtained the card prior to Dec 31st this year. I need the 15 nights this year from the old card and they haven't hit yet since my anniversary date is towards the end of November. So I'm waiting to get those 15 nights posted before taking the hopefully-still-available 50k points.

So I wanted to ask here and see if anybody has the same deal as me. Admittedly, I haven't kept up with all the Marriott/SPG cards and changes and new cards. I currently hold the Marriott Rewards Business Card. Today I received an email for an upgrade for 50k to the Marriott Rewards Premier Plus Card. How can they offer me an upgrade from business to personal? I see that there is a business version but nowhere on the email does it say business.
Are there pros and cons to upgrading? Other than the higher annual fee, what is the difference?
If it makes a difference since i saw a couple posts before this, my annual fee hit on July 1. So will this change and now I have to wait a few more months for my free night?

Sending out "upgrade" offers to everyone with a business card seems like a rather significant error...

I figured it was in error but what a bummer as I would love to have 50k for a single purchase. I will try when I get home now anyway.

I recently received the 50k bonus offer for upgrading.
I have read some of the earlier posts in this thread and at that time people weren't sure when they would get their free anniversary night. Has that been figured out yet? Will we get our free anniversary night one-year after we upgrade or will it be at our present (before upgrading) anniversary date?
Thanks.

Considering the 50000 upgrade but am concerned about losing the travel insurance though I've never used it and not sure
how difficult it is to use. Anyone have experience using it good or bad?
Has the prorating of the annual fee been fair?
Annual fee posts in Feb but points only available if purchase by Dec. So looks like anniversary will change to Nov or Dec so will lose anniversary night from Feb to next Nov or Dec.

I originally had an upgrade offer of 10,000 points, but I passed because it wasn't worth delaying the anniversary award night. Like others, my offer recently was bumped up to 50,000 points, and I accepted. However, when I made the necessary purchase to trigger the bonus, only 10,000 points were attached to the transaction as an upgrade bonus. I've already reached out to Chase to hopefully rectify this (and I have screenshots of the larger offer), but I was curious if this was happening to anyone else who had their offer increase.

I'm trying to upgrade, this morning, using the link from Marriott in my email. Each time I try I get this message: We are sorry. We are unable to process your request at this time.
For further assistance, please call the number on the back of your card.
Did anyone else get that?

Chase seems to desperate to get people to upgrade form the old card to the new card, so given that, I don't see why the upgrade bonuses would disappear soon.

Technically, you won't have the card you had when you did the spend when the bonus is due if you upgrade before it posts, and if you read the T&Cs of the bonus it probably says you must still the card open for the bonus to post. So IMHO I would wait for the bonus to post before you upgrade, if you don't want to risk losing the previous bonus.

I originally got the 10K offer, and just checked again online. Now I have the 50K offer, and I upgraded. I never got email notifications of either offer.

After reading the terms again, since I had the Premier card for less than a year, it says I will get a one time refund of the $95 annual fee. The way I read this, I might get this new card with no additional annual fee for the next year. That sounds like a really good deal! Instead of a 25K certificate that expires in a year, I will have 50K to use as I want. I'm glad I didn't take the 10K offer!
