Every time I've checked Chase's site over the last several months, the only business cards listed were the United and Ink cards.

Southwest Biz as well, no?

Since this is Marriott-specific I'll move it over there with a redirect.

Would be interested in a link if you know one.

(EDIT: Oh, duh. It's in the OP.)

A quick heads up, the T&C for the bonus I looked at exclude anyone who has the consumer version of the card -- or has had the consumer card in the last 24 months.

Would the bonus on this card add to the Lifetime Points count for LT status?

From what I have read in the LT thread. I don't think the annual 15 night credit stacks w/ other Marriott CC like the Marriot Premier Rewards. Just wanted to see if others have had different results.

Thanks!

This seems to be a new card, so how would anyone know that?

TommyC80

All earned points count towards lifetime status. Bonuses from cards are included.

I think we can only speculate about the nights being stackable between multiple cards, but I get the feeling they won't.

FYI it looks like you can upgrade from the Regular Business Card to Premier without having to change your cc number which makes things easier.

Has anyone applied for this card while having the personal card active? I'm trying to decide if I want to risk applying and not getting the bonus, because of what the T & C say.
