Creation, the former issuer of Marriott cobranded card in the UK, has sent a notice to cardholders that the product will cease to exist effective February 28, 2025.
Creation recently ended their cobranded card with the IHG that doesn’t have another UK issuer, unlike Marriott, which card in this specific market is available through Amex.

Creation’s Email:
The agreement with Creation and Marriott ends on February 28, 2025. All charges accrued until that date will continue to earn Bonvoy points under the usual schedule.
Cardholders will receive the 10 elite qualifying nights in early 2025 per card agreement.
These cards are converted to Creation vanilla cards unless you decide to cancel the product.

Conclusion
The Amex acceptance is not very good so overall this is a loss to cardholders, but the Bonvoy point earnings are better than with this Creation.
I guess that some cardholders have been able to keep both cards and earn total of 25 elite qualifying nights (15 from Amex and 10 from Creation), but this will also put an end to it.
