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.

I have not linked my Marriott and UA account since became PPE because we hardly fly UA.
However this Oct we have a UA IAH-FLL in Y being the last segment of an Aeroplan RTW award in J. So I think I should link my accounts so we would get checked bag free in case we need it.
Is it you just go to Reward Plus to start the process?

Interesting. Apparently the threshold to get the match with United was raised. I was/am Platinum but United is no longer giving me Silver status. When I tried to register I received the following message: "You must be a Platinum Premier Elite member or above to qualify for RewardsPlus." I got the match last year as a Plat, not a PPE. Oh well, it was nice.

Was the bar lowered then last year, when I qualified for United Silver through being a Marriott Platinum? I've never been at the 75 night level, only the 50 night level.

I wouldn't say that Bonvoy Gold is a diluted MR Gold. The level that Bonvoy Gold is today didn't exist in the old MR program. There was no 25-49 nights elite tier. Bonvoy Gold is comparable to SPG Gold. It's just the name that has people confused sometimes.

Anyone else lose their UA Silver status received through being a Titanium today?
I did 78 nights in 2018 to get Titanium for 2019. Signed up at the RewardsPlus Marriott site in early February. UA status upgraded within 72 hours... then I book flight for 3/7 (which is tomorrow).
So today I'm about to check in to my flight tomorrow, and see I cannot select economy plus without paying $$. Think that's weird. Then notice I'm listed as a general member.
Go back to MR RewardPlus site - it says I've already signed up.
Arg, not even sure which whose IT is screwed up here, but I'm guessing it's Marriott's.
This is going to cost me $200 for bags and I am not even sure it's worth my time today calling around because I have a ton of stuff to do, that is if I even knew who to call...

Yesterday I was United Silver and today dropped to a General Member. I went back to Bonvoy and linked accounts again. We'll see how long it takes to show United Silver again.
