Got a mailer for 125,000 points.

If I signed up for the SPG back in June, am I eligible for bonus now?

The language only talks about Chase Marriott, which I don't have. Does anyone know if the regular (old) SPG card will prevent it?

Has anyone received Marriott platinum from either spending 75k  on an SPG luxury card or from 75k previous spend on a SPG regular card that was upgraded?

I got Marriott Plat. Elite from spending 75k on the reg SPG cards.

Isn't this a benefit of the Luxury card only?

Your belief is correct, but why the shorthand and all caps?

Any DP’s around to what triggered the $300 credit?

Also, I have until the anniversary date to use it?

Just want to make sure, as calendar year is almost over.
