Congrats. Same experience here. Had a card that got turned into a Slate with a $1200 limit and a card that got turned into a Freedom with a $3000 limit. Merged the Slate into the Freedom, used it heavily for 6 months and took the HP for a CLI. Turned down (even tried to recon it). Immediately applied for a CSP and approved with a $12k limit! A little less than 3 months later, prequalified in the Your Offers section for the Slate so I took it as well. Congrats on the Ritz-Carlton! You get Gold Elite status automatically for the first year, and with $10k spend each year after so be sure to link your Marriott account (and Starwood for instant status match).
