You may receive up to 30 nights if you hold both a personal and small business credit card.

I noticed that I received 30 nights as well. Could be a glitch, but who knows? Nothing to do but wait and see if it sticks.

Likewise. Got another 15 today. Not sure which card contributed to it. Wonder is it is a glitch.

Not a glitch. I got another 15 as well.

A maximum of 15 Elite Night Credits will be provided per Marriott Bonvoy Member Account, unless you have both a small business Marriott Bonvoy Card account and a consumer Marriott Bonvoy Card account; then, you may receive a combined maximum of 30 Elite Night Credits (15 per Card account).

Sounds like Plat is about to be devalued

If this is actually not a glitch, having 2 CCs and just doing 20 nights a year for platinum is ridiculously easy in a post COVID-19 era (even for a casual traveler).

Agreed, this seems quite ridiculous indeed....

That being said, anyone with Canadian Bonvoy AMEXs get the 30 nights? I don't see the same wording in the AMEX T&C.

Adding on to the request for any Canadian DPs, especially Canadians with one card in Canada and one card in the US via Global Transfer?

This is huge, good and bad. I currently hold 3 Marriott cards (Vintage Original Chase Marriott that still gives you 1 elite night for every 3 k spend, the SPG card which is now Amex Bonvoy, and then Amex Brilliant card with the $450 annual fee). I hope Marriott does not up the nights for Platinum to 75 (Titanium level). That being said, we are loyal Bonoy members, just the footprint and the privileges have been awesome, U.S., Canada and Asia for us (maybe we have been very lucky).

Seriously thinking about freeing up one of my Amex slots (5 cards already) and then applying for the business card.

Doesn't seem fair in a way, I do have 3 Marriott cards, why only the combo of business and personal gets this perk... All part of the game I guess and we just have to play by the rules.

I just checked, have AX personal and business. 15 credits posted twice.
Early this year, I was thinking about closing AX business card due to higher AF and the Peak rip off scheme.
But then I saw that due to AX offers, I received almost the entire AF in credits.
An extra 15 EQN is an excellent reason to keep the card open.
Only 45 nights to Titanium!

Do Biz cards count against the 5 count limit though?

If this makes Plat reachable with just 20 nights, that easily makes it worth it for me.

Too bad there's no way to get a biz card through Chase anymore tho. I am well under 5/24.

Just also thinking, if you have a double nights promo with this. You could also just get Platinum with just 10 nights.
