Gold member and 15 nights away from being Plat this year. I applied and was approved for Chase Marriott Bonvoy Boundless card to take advantage of the 15 nights and 5 free nights. I also have the Ritz Visa for many years.
From what I have been reading, I need to wait 2 years to apply for Amex Marriott Business card. Is this correct or could I still apply and get the card for the 15 elite nights and spending bonus. Thanks!

The previous commenter who suggested a late Sept promo was correct. I was able to get in on the 100k point offer valid until November. I was approved pretty quickly.

I just recently applied for this Business card, when doing a search, it defaults to "Amex Biz Card Member Rate", I want to see points values and a search does not show them in the initial page, just $, I have to click on each specific property to see points value. How can I remove this? (and yes, I have unchecked the box for rate and checked the points box)

I am considering apply for the Bonvoy Business Amex card, specifically to receive the 15 elite night credits. However, I already received 15 nights this year from my Chase Bonvoy Boundless card. Am I eligible to get another the 15 nights from the Business Amex?
The wording off the website makes me think the answer is ‘no’, but I wanted to ask FT’s finest before I give up hope!
From the AMEX website:
“A maximum of 15 Elite Night Credits will be provided per Marriott Bonvoy Member Account, unless you have both an open Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express Card® account and an open Marriott Bonvoy Bevy™ American Express® Card account; or, you have both an open Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express Card® account and an open Marriott Bonvoy® American Express® Card account. Then, you may receive a combined maximum of 30 Elite Night Credits (15 per Card account). If you have both an open Marriott Bonvoy Business® American Express Card® account and an open Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant® American Express® Card account, you may receive a combined maximum of 40 Elite Night Credits (15 Elite Night Credits as a benefit of an eligible Marriott Bonvoy Business Card account plus 25 Elite Night Credits as a benefit of an eligible Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant American Express Card account).”

We appreciate your inquiry. If you have both a consumer credit card account and business credit card account, you will receive 15 Elite Night Credits for each account.

If your Boundless is over 24 months old you can get both the Business and Brilliant card and get 40 nights per year

Can anyone confirm that you NEED to check-in with the Amex Bonvoy Biz card to get the 7% discount rate? Would international Marriotts even know of this card's existence?

You get the 7% discount when you book the room on the Marriott.com website. When you log into your Bonvoy account, the site knows that you have this card and you'll see the 7% discount offered.

Reporting back. I have the Bonvoy Boundless. Applied for and received the Business AMEX. When I checked my Marriott profile two days later, the additional 15 nights had already posted. The confirmation email was received on the third day.
Thanks to all for the accurate advice!

Any guesses if the SUB will increase by the end of the year? Need the 15 EGN by EOY but the 100K offer ending tonight isnt as enticing as the previous 125K offer and I'm a bit constrained in spend now so wondering if its worth the risk to wait for future offers.

If I were you, I'd take advantage of the 100k now. 25k points difference isn't a big deal to miss out on, and status jump is worth more than 25k points, especially if you're going from Gold to Platinum.
