I was attempted to apply this card last year, but got denied due to high utilizations. Due to my business travel, I stayed in Marriott properties most of the time, and reaching at least Platinum Elite, which at least 50 nights stay per year.
Tried again this year with new name, Bonvoy, and finally get approved.
My credit report data as follows:
-utilization ~55% (which not so good)
-this is the 7th hard pulls within the last 2 years
-no late payments
-start limit: $19.5k
Highest start limit ever for me 
You...REALLY,
CONGRATS on your Approval and the LEGENDARY SL!!!
Great job! It's an amazing card and my daily driver. If it wasn't for keeping other cards alive and working towards bonuses I'd rarely use anything else. It'll give you a bonus 15 nights a year too, so you can work towards their new elite level Platinum Premier Elite.
Congrats on your approval and massive SL !!!!
Think I may change my name!

This is a solid card and it'll pay for itself over and over! Congrats on new addition!
Very nice SL, congrats! I am looking at that card also.
