Full details and a FAQ are available at www.united.com/rewardsplus and https://fly-united.marriott.com/en_US/ https://mrrewardsplus.com/en_US/details/
From the FAQS:
If I already have Marriott Gold Elite status or higher and MileagePlus Premier Silver status or higher, do I need to register for RewardsPlus?
No. Please note that the website will accept your registration, but your status will not change. You also do not need to register for the enhanced miles and points benefits that will launch in the coming weeks.
Feb 2017 Data Point:
You can expedite a 'pending' upgrade to Silver before March 1st if you need it:
i also lost my UA status Feb 1 and was also pending UA Silver for after 2.28 once my eligibility was confirmed. i called MAR Plat CS and asked about expediting because of an upcoming flight. i called MR Platinum at 11PM. The rep said she couldn't do it, the dept that does it was closed, but that she send a message to them. she didn't know how long it would take them, but thought it would be done within 2 days. 11 hours later, at 10am the next morning, UA Silver status was showing when i logged into my UA acct online.

OT: I must have missed this...Since I don't stay at Starwood Hotels, I didn't sign up for the DL/*W cross promotion. Are you telling me if I do, I will be getting *W points in addition to the DL points, just for doing what I already do? Gosh, I feel as though I've robbed myself. I've likely done 50 flights since the announcement.

I agree with all the Marriott elites who will get hosed by dilution. However:
5. Complimentary status offerings are valid through January 31, 2014.
Does this mean being a MR Gold expires or you can only register through this date?
Hopefully just short term pain for those who truly earned it.

WOW...big plus for me!
Ok-so this is HUGE for me!!!
I have to order 1 travel package by next week (for a stay 7 days from then) and have 4-5 MORE to order in August. That will mean HUGE bonuses for me!!!
I have orderered ~15 or so of these...this will DEFINATELY mean more business to MR. ^
I was evaluating my 2013 remaining business..was thinking of adding back in Hyatt (due to a stay in FRA/Mainz next year) but this stopped it. Now, if they added one point/$ of UA spend I would DUMP SPG!!!
Well done Marriott...well done. (EVEN if I have to pay for +2,3,4,5 in lounge)

Ahhh, there's the fly in the ointment. I primarily stay at Marriotts and use Hilton as my back-up. Oh well...

Excellent. I thought I had received my last baggage fee waiver on UA with my US lifetime Silver/*A Silver status. Now I have UA Silver via Marriott lifetime PLT, Delta status-equivalent with my (soon to be lifetime) SPG PLT, and will have AA lifetime with the combination of USAir miles. I'm sitting pretty. So (subject to change), lifetime status with three airlines and two hotel chains.

I registered via the Marriott link. At first, it asked me to log in, after which it took me to the general Marriott home screen.
So I clicked the link again. Now that my credentials were cached/I was logged in, it took me to the registration screen. I must have had my UA number on file somewhere, because it instantly linked the two and registered me.

Wow...this one-ups the SPG/DL partnership in a big way by offering the real statuses as part of the crossover. (SPG/DL stop short of that, instead offering some - but not all - of the benefits to the crossover people.)
Your move, HH and AA.
