Marriott Rewards (including Ritz-Carlton) - Canadian Offer - Marriott® Rewards Premier Visa Card

Did a quick search and didn't see anything posted. Looks like an exclusive offer for us Canadians.

https://www.marriottpremier.ca/

Fairly good offer imo, especially with annual fee waived for first year.

The US folks would tell you a few things:

1) Hold out for a bigger bonus offer.
2) We know that there are not too many CAD cards with no foreign transaction fees.
3) You could get a little upset because with the CAD so close to par with USD, why the annual fee is that much higher (unless bad things are in store for the USD card).

You get a CHIP. Woo hoo! (I know, standard for the territory there..)

Rasheed

they ALREADY raised the cost for the US cards a few months ago..............

Been waiting for 4 years with the Cdn Plat Marriott Visa to finally catch up to the US Chase Marriott Visa benefits. Finally has. Chase annual fee in US is $85. Cdn card is $120 but they are waiving the fee for the first year. US card is giving 70,000 MR points but it could take a year or two for the Cdn one to catch up or it may never be offered.

Great to see a non-forex card and chase coming in.

Now, if we got a hyatt card...

I'm not familiar with the Marriott chain, usually staying at Fairmont or Starwood properties. I know that the annual fee is waived for the current offer, but would the 30000 bonus points be worth the $120 annual fee?

Great new card... since we don't have much of a selection of hotel branded credit cards in Canada. Already approved and on the way in the mail. :-:

Hi,
I got a targeted e-mail giving 50,000 points and the rest of the stuff the same. I think that now it is that high I might just get it. I had been holding out for years.

Show us the email!

Anyone else receive the targeted email with the 50K signup bonus? Was going to apply but might hold out and see they send out any more offers via email.

Was the offer sent from Chase or from Marriott Rewards?

I still see 30k ;(

same folks, so now that you have their phone #, you can easily give them a call and ask about the 50k offer, just like those south of you who routinely saw the 50k offer and asked about the 70k offer.........

I called in a couple of times before I was connected to someone I could ask a few questions about this card and the offer.

It sounds like they have a specific offer for each individual and when you apply you will get whatever they offered to you (whether it's the 30K or 50K bonus).

I asked about applying online and they said to be sure to enter the promo code from the email while applying online. This promo code is again apparently unique in each different email.

That leaves me wondering if I was sent an email and I never received it or if perhaps I was simply never sent an offer.

I was also left with the impression that even if you asked for the 50K promo the person on the other end of the phone had no clue if you were going to receive it or not.

It might be worth calling back another time to see if I can get any further clarification.

have they outsourced their call center to India too?

That's exactly what I was thinking when I was on the phone with them...

Going to wait and see if any offers come in the mail or via email over the next week or two.

https://lp6.marriottpremier.ca/?JOBNUM=VMR1207039

Wait, is that link from the email? When I get redirected from the Marriott Site clicking on the card, I get the same exact same link. How did you get a 50k offer from that link?

perhaps because the system knows I'm plat after signing in and so this is what I'm directed to .........

On the Marriott Rewards page (after logging in) and clicking on the Visa card link it is redirecting me to the US version of the card. From there I click on the Canadian link at the bottom of the page and it also redirects me to this page.

I am wondering if the offer depends on your status. When I called in on the phone the representative was asking what my status level was with Marriott (Silver/Gold/Platinum).

Is there any chance Silver members might be eligible for the 50K bonus?

What I'd like to know is if anyone who is currently a Chase Marriott Visa card holder was able to get the sign-up bonus (and free first year). The offer speaks of 'Marriott Rewards Premier Visa Cardmember', but strictly speaking the old card isn't a 'Premier' Visa...

Would love to switch to this card, but obviously if I can't get all the bells & whistles, I'll be PO'd.

i signed up for the 30,000 points card , then read on here about 50,000 points , phoned them up and was told only how active ur account with marriott, i havent had marriott points in yrs , so can only get the 30,000 , still happy with card , can get few nights hotel stay and the card in no fee for 1st yr .

Great idea! I was also thinking of calling Marriott Rewards tomorrow and seeing what they know about the new card and the 50K offer.

i appreciate the discussion i was waffling on this one - but the no foreign currency transaction fee is not common for Canadian credit cards and it is not a common offering for all Chase Canada credit cards either (i saw the Amazon.ca card had it too)

The first year annual fee waived was nice.

I'm a Starpoints junkie so it'll be interesting if this changes my hotel stay behaviour at all.

Silver status for Marriott Rewards is not half bad.

I also received the offer for 30K points only.

I am a Chase Marriott Visa cardholder in Canada and applied for the upgrade to the Premier card. They approved the card on the phone and I received the sign up bonus including the cat. 1-4 night (already in my account), the first year fee (of $120) waived and 50,000 bonus incentive points (not deposited in my account yet ) which I cannot confirm until they are deposited.

That's excellent news! I'm nearly at the 1-year anniversary of my MR Visa, so I'll probably call soon to make the switch.

So were you targeted for 50K?

How is the status of any benefit?

I wasn't targeted for the 50K but they are aware that they have given a variety of messages to others so they told me that they would give me the 50K. I am a plat so perhaps that status helps but I'm not sure.

Great idea! I was also thinking of calling Marriott Rewards tomorrow and seeing what they know about the new card and the 50K offer.

Three tweets over two days... no response. Are they ignoring me?

Very impressed - just got an e-mail notifying me of my free night and silver status, only a week after applying online. I haven't even received the card yet!

For people who called, what # do you call?
the Chase 1-888 530-2938 on https://www.marriottpremier.ca/

I have no status with Marriott now (was Gold then Silver then nothing), but figure it's worth asking for 50K

I just spoke with a Chase agent and he stated that they would honor the 50,000 points if I had a promotion code. Did anyone receive a promo code with their 50,000 point Marriott Chase credit card offer?

That's the number I called. They told me I would get 50K. I will let you know in 4-6 weeks if I ever get it. Got the free night in my account. Only thing I have left is a hope and a prayer that 50K actually shows up. Let's see.

I called Chase, talked to 2 ppl, last one said he believed the 50K offer ended Aug 10 so nothing he can do now

Oh well, should've called earlier then :(

Never applied for a chase card, both myself and my +1 did not get instantly approved.

Do they communicate by email or do they send you a letter or do they phone you to let you know of your application status?

EDIT: We both hold SPG AMEX, AEROGOLD and AMEX GOLD, all instantly approved.

It appears some of the people in the call center have no clue what is going on. The email in this post clearly states the 50K offer is valid until September 15th...

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/19082635-post14.html

I called into Marriott rewards and they seemed happy to offer the 50K bonus and transferred me to Chase at 866-206-0601. It turns out that is the number for the US credit card application which gives everyone the 50K bonus.

So I tried calling Chase Canada again at 1-888-530-2938 and asked if I was eligible for the 50K offer. They also mentioned if you get the email you are eligible for the 50K bonus. I asked what happens if the email was lost and you never received it. They didn't know any way to really check whether you would get the 30K or 50K bonus. So they transferred me over to applications. Applications didn't know either and wanted to transfer back to Marriott Rewards where I started. Eventually this person suggested waiting another week just in case the email hasn't been sent yet.

It's unfortunate that nobody seems to know if you are eligible for the 50K bonus before applying. I would hate to miss out on the 50K bonus so it might make sense to wait a bit longer before applying to see what happens. It almost sounds like the 50K bonus might be a targeted offer for those with Platinum status or those who had the old Marriott Visa card.

I currently have the CIBC Aerogold Infinite, however have been thinking of replacing it since Aeroplan is becoming a joke. My annual spend is probably only about $20K/year. I'm thinking about switching to this card, but I'm still not convinced. I know nothing about the Marriott's reward system however I'm seeing some perks..

1 free night = I'm going to St. John's, and the drinking, smoking, foul mouthed in-laws become a lot to handle. The Courtyard by Marriott in St. John's goes for $229/night. so I'd save $229 right there.

I'm going to Europe in October. Hotel for three nights is $700 CAD, with the no forex fee, I can save $20.

As for the 30,000 It's not that much, if it was more I'd probably due it right away.

Will sit and think about this for a little bit.

If anyone has received the 50K bonus, please supply the promo code that was included with the offer. Thank you in advance.

I don't think there's a promo code involved? is there?

The rep stated that if anyone received a mailing, there would be a promo code in the top right corner of the offer. I applied for the 30,000 points and was accepted immediately but they would have provided an additional 20,000 if there was a promo code.

If anyone has received the 50K bonus, please supply the promo code that was included with the offer. Thank you in advance.

There apparently is a promo code but when I asked the agent, he would not supply it.

@ChaseSupport: @reykjeff Application offers are exclusive to the terms of the agreement. Adjustments to the application offer are not permitted. ^TC

Chase will not bump ;(

Thanks for checking. Might as well apply for the 30K offer then.

I second Sailingman22. If anyone got the 50k offer, please share the promo code that was in that letter (either publicly or through PM). I would really appreciate it.

I think the code is one use (but I would love to be wrong ;)

I would apply if there's a 50K points offer:)

post in rewardscanada to ask for 50,000 points link, no one can provide one

Since no-one could cough up a 50K bonus I ended up applying with the 30K bonus. I applied online, took me maybe 5 minutes and I got this message..

Congratulations, XXXXXXXXXXXXX!

You have been approved for a Marriott Rewards® Visa® Card.

Your credit card will be mailed to you within five to seven days. For questions about your new account, you may contact Cardmember Service at 1-888-296-9882 and quote reference number CCCCCCCCCVVVVVVFFFFFFF.

Glad It was approved right away. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the 30,000 points.
I'm going to Europe in October, my hotel is about 700 euros, so with the no forex fee, I'll save myself some money! Fine by me.

I am definitely going to apply to this card but waiting till end of September. I too unfortunately only received the 30k offer but still get a free night so not really complaining. Does anyone else know other Canadian offers coming anytime soon or will this be the best for a while?

if I have known the free night expired in 6 months, I would not have applied the card right away. I applied last week and got instant approval. and now I found out the free night cert only good for 6 months. I need to book a hotel in early May :(

I was able to get an extension on my free night - it's worth a try.

When your cert is about to expire in 6 months, you can call Marrriott Rewards and they will work with Chase to extend it for another 6 months provided you have been using the Chase card.

Received 50000 offer in email to all gold members. The deal is the same as US with exception of (a) 120 versus 85; and (b) Earn 1 Elite Night Credit for every $3,000 spent which is ABSENT from the Canadian offer. Wonder why that was a huge benefit.

Anyone else noted that or called to enquire about the elite night credit disparity

I wonder if they will be mailing out these 50K offer as well... a I never get email from them. :(

Sign-in to my account and the link only hit me with the 30K sign-up.

The missing "1 elite night credit for every $3000 charged on card" is a huge benefit that was widely advertised by Marriott in 2010. I am very disappointed that it is not applicable to Canadian cards as well; plus I think the US card offers rental insurance, plus purchase protection and extended warranty, whereas the Canadian card only offers rental insurance. Anyhow the big difference is the new us price of $85 (was $45) compared to Canadian $120. I'm sure the Marriott executives will not be surprised when everyone bails after the free year and 50,000 bonus points and switches to another card that will also be offering no foreign transaction fees (this will become standard now with Amex following shortly) and a pricing and benefit structure similar to identical US offerings readily visible to everyone. It is too bad Chase Canada wants to nickle and dime an extra $45 and remove that elite night credit standard offer.

Has anyone gotten a 50k promo without status?

Has anyone had the bonus 30000 points posted to their account yet? Just curious if these will get posted after the first statement or if anyone received it right away.

Just applied for this card three weeks ago and it came last week. Open up my email this morning and find a targeted offer with 50k points. Bottom of the email has the code 'CAN-S'. I can post the link, but it leads directly to the application with no splash page confirming the 50k.

Wonder what the odds are of calling into Chase and asking for the additional 20k points?

Fine print on the application said 8-10 weeks after first purchase; so possibly two statement cycles?

Now the question is whether new applicant can use that code to apply for 50K points :)

I'll call to try later this week

received my 30K enrollment points on my first statement. It's been about 5 weeks since I applied and received the card. not half shabby...

Are you originally a Chase cardholder/ have silver status with Marriott?

Nope - never had a marriott rewards account or Chase card before I applied for the visa about three weeks ago.

Nope - never had a marriott rewards account or Chase card before I applied for the visa about three weeks ago.

But you applied three weeks ago. So why would you get another email?
So you might have status, because card comes with instant silver.
Thus I'm confused with the "s" that was in your email.

Just keep in mind of this fine print:

1 30,000 Bonus Points: Please allow 8 to 10 weeks after your first purchase for points to be posted to your Marriott Rewards account. This offer is valid only for first time Marriott Rewards Premier Visa Cardmembers. Existing Marriott Rewards Premier Visa Cardmembers are not eligible. If your account is not kept open for at least 6 months, Marriott and Chase reserve the right to deduct the bonus points from your Marriott Rewards account. Purchases must not be returned or otherwise negated by a credit to your account in order to qualify.

But you applied three weeks ago. So why would you get another email?

Thus I'm confused with the "s" that was in your email.

Sorry - I didn't have status/a chase card/marriott rewards before I applied for the visa. I know the card comes with automatic silver status, it just seemed ridiculous to get a targeted offer that I qualified for by applying for the same product three weeks ago.

So you got an offer for 30k, applied, then got another offer for 50k?
Don't think you can have two credit cards... is your offer exclusive? That is, could your family/relatives/significant other apply using your offer?

Phew! Glad I waited too - just got my Canadian 50K bonus points offer in my email too - but this one was targeted, not with a generic code, so unfortunately I can't share since I'll be using it.

The email was from Marriott rewards directly, listing my current status, which is just Silver.

I still don't get how the link is generic yet will produce the 50k offer. Have you tried forwarding email to another address and seeing if it will work?
If so, we need a conga line ;)

Yes.

I called Chase last night and asked for the additional points and was given the generic "I've submitted a request, call back in a few days to speak to a supervisor" response, so we'll see how that goes.

My offer did seem to be targeted as it referenced my account status & points, however I (stupidly?) did share the link with one person, so we'll see what happens if it's only one time use. When you land on the application page, it's generic and doesn't mention anything about the additional points nor does it include my rewards account number. I might apply with my husband's info to see if he qualifies.

so for those with 50K offer email
1. do you see the "50,000 points" mentioned on the page AFTER you click on the link?
2. is your page still the generic https://www.marriottpremier.ca ?

I'm curious to see if there's more confirmation than just the email

I guess you can try using the above link? I asked someone else on here via PM whether they had a different jobnum / source code than this for comparison.

Tempting... although it's weird it doesn't say any "points" at all, 30K or 50K

It does clearly states the annual fees & FX

Foreign
Currency
Conversion Foreign Currency Conversion:
We will bill you in Canadian Currency if you use your account to make a transaction in foreign currency. We will convert it into Canadian currency at the exchange rate set by Visa International in effect at the time we post the transaction to your account. This exchange rate may be different from the rate in effect on the transaction date.

Foreign Currency Transaction Charges:
We will not charge you any additional foreign currency conversion charge.


Annual Fees $120
Waived for the 1st year; charged annually thereafter (whether your card is activated or not) on your statement anniversary date.


I may just try to apply via the link, thinking the worst is I'll ask for the basic 30K if I got 0 points as a result

The usual link with the 30k splash page doesn't have anything regarding points in the terms and conditions either, it's just a generic T&C for Cost of Borrowing and fees. I don't think my statement date will arrive until early Oct, so it'll be a while before I find out if I get those extra points.

30K points posted to my account about 2 weeks after activation.
Seems to have coincided with the statement date for the card.

Wonder what the odds are of calling into Chase and asking for the additional 20k points?

Do you know when the "new" offer asks you to apply by?

October 31st.

3 of us pointwhores in the office applied

All 3 of us were rejected. Wt?

Two of my colleagues called to see why.

1) 1 colleagues salary was incorrectly noted. He has evidence he wrote xxx,xxx. The application system said his salary is xx, xxx. GONG SHOW. They fixed it.
2) Second colleague-apparently the system switched her to a different card...platinum? So it got rejected. Ermm so she got that fixed and approved.

3) Me-got rejected letter today. No idea why. Probably a third gong show. Gotta call in Monday and see what the deal is.

I think there is something seriously mess up with Chase's credit check system.
I've had the old Chase Marriott Visa card for the last 2 years, and have always paid the balance in full every month, no balances. I have excellent credit score, no trouble of getting any credit card that I apply to.

Back in July, I called Chase to 'upgrade' my card to this new Premier Visa card. Gave them all the information on the call.
In August, I received my card, and I called in to activate it. They closed the old Visa card, and activated the new card. This month, I received the 15 nights, and 50,000 pts posting to my Marriott rewards account.

Then all of a sudden, last monday, my credit card was cancelled by Chase, they didn't even call to tell me this. I tried to use the card, and was told it was declined. I called them, and they inform me that they can't approve my application for Visa, since there were discrepancies with my application and credit bureau records. So they canceled my card.

I immediately, ordered an Equifax report on my credit report, and there was nothing unusual, even showed the new Visa from Chase as being approved in August. No unusual transactions at all. I called back Chase to ask what the discrepancies were, and they couldn't tell me...Just to re-apply in 6 months.

Now this is totally weird. I put in between $5-6K in spending each month with this card. I guess I'll take their 50,000K and 15 nights bonus and move on.

Hah, that's even better actually [than voluntary churning]. They'll find their error and then another 15 nights bonus and 30/50k in 6 months. ;)

BUMP: Anyone have any experience with applying with link earlier in the thread from the email and 50k points?

BUMP: Anyone have any experience with applying with link earlier in the thread from the email and 50k points?

After calling Chase, being told to wait a week and call back about my 'ticket' request for the extra 20k points, I called back only to be told that there was nothing they could do and they shunted me to Marriott customer service. Still waiting to hear back from them. New card that my husband was approved for through that link hasn't arrived.

I should note that I also haven't even had the original 30k applied to my account and it was activated Sept 10th with a purchase made the same day.

I received the 50,000 point offer in an email so I decided to apply and was accepted. I spent several hundred dollars and 30,216 points showed in my account. I called customer service and after reading the saved email to the rep was told that an additional 20,000 points would be added to my account. Calling again today to see when the missing points will be sent.

I hope this answers a few questions posted previously. I received an email from Marriott Rewards for the 50,000 point offer on Sept. 18th. I have a Marriottt account but do not have any status since most of our stays were with another company. There is no promotional code anywhere on the email and I called 1-866-661-6626 around 9:30 am pst and spoke with Chase's support group in believe is located in Quebec. They seem to deposit 30,000 in your account and have you call them back to request the 20,000 points which I feel is a very bad business practice. I was told that it takes an additional 6 weeks to post the other points. There was no required spending limit to receive points.

Looking at my saved emails, I received a 15000 point offer 3/15 and a 30,000 point offer on 8/14 before receiving the 50,000 point offer. Good luck.

I already had the Marriott Visa card and applied for the new one because of the perks added. I also have plat status. I requested the 50,000 points for my new application though their position was that they were only giving 30,000 MR points. My position was that they were not clear because some people indicated that they were receiving the extra 20,000 points. After some back and forth on this, they said that there was no promo code for 50K points. They agreed to give the extra points. I received the card about a month ago. Did a few weeks worth of spending. A few weeks later, 30K points showed up with an additional 20K bonus points. Don't know whether this had anything to do with my status or the fact that I already had the Marriott Visa card for several years. Have to say.... I'm happy with the ending!

I also had the old Marriott Visa card and applied and received the new card about a month ago. I noticed that I had not received the 'free night' cert. which was part of the offer after approval of the new card. I called yesterday only to find out that since I had an old card, my application was considered to be an 'upgrade' so I will only get a free night on the anniversary of my original card which was August.
Did you experience the same thing ?

No, I received the free night but it was a cat 1-4. Next year and every year thereafter will be a cat 1-5.

I called in to find out why the free Cat 4 night has not posted to my account. Sure enough this was the explanation I received. I had a Marriott Visa card in the past however I cancelled it over 2 years ago. So even if you had a card previously over 2 years ago they will not give you the free Cat 4 night.

I also didn't receive the extra 20K on top of the 30K points. I wonder if it's worth calling in and trying to get that instead.

It seems like so much frustration every time I have to deal with Marriott, perhaps it's time to consider moving on to one of the other major hotel chains.

I wouldn't call Marriott. I would call Chase. I was on the phone with them for quite some time explaining that there was some discrepancy over the number of points available for signing up for the card. After much discussion, they finally agreed to give the extra 20K points. It took a month to post but finally did. Why don't you try?

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually called Chase shortly after you posted that and they indicated they were aware of the problem and had a team looking into it. Someone from that team was supposed to call me back and nobody did.

I followed up again and they were pretty quick to want to transfer me to Marriott rewards. I had to explain how I called in last week and was expecting a follow-up from them and not Marriott.

The agent at Chase really didn't know what was going on and was confused about the free Cat 4 night and the points thinking they were the same thing. They had me on hold a few times and ended suggesting that something should be done about this but it could take 8-10 weeks to post.

Call Chase back again and ask to be transferred to a supervisor. Don't let them off the hook. Let them know how much time and energy you have wasted on this and request the 20K points. Don't let them off the phone until they promise you the points. It may take 4 weeks to post and you may have to follow up on this.

so, finally got my offical mail offer.... thought to post the last paragraph in my letter:

To request your card, visit MarriottRewards.com/cdnelitedm, mail in your application, fax your application to 1-800-851-9961 or call 1-888-530-2938 using your Promotion Code X2FF.
(All the bold words are bolded in the letter)

When I visit the website, it state the 50K offer and the form that link to is just a blank form. The Promo Code "X2FF" is populated automatically for me already.

Since the URL is so generate, I do not think this is a targetted URL like the AMEX mail offer. For those that still waiting for your offer, this might be something you want want to try. In my case, I do have the physical letter which I will be keeping in case I do not get my 50K bonus.

Goodluck.

This is great!

Thanks for the post. I also see exactly what you are indicating.

Did anyone tried it? To apply without the letter and get the 50k points?

Just a heads up on my timeline with this card:

I applied for the card around Aug 31st, received/activated it Sept 11, made the first purchase that day, received the targeted email for the 50k points and after 3 phone calls was assured that they would be credited to my account. Statement closed yesterday and still haven't received the 30k, nevermind the extra 20k. I've heard from someone else that received their points almost immediately.

My husband used my targeted email link to apply and received/activated the card yesterday, so at this rate I'm assuming we might see those points by Christmas?

I know the fine print says 8-10 weeks from first purchase; but the inconsistency with this new card is a bit frustrating.

Found a link with 50k points:

It's the same link posted here really
and seems like it went to RFD as well now, hopefully that doesn't kill it

Anyone have a currently working 50K link? I wish I had jumped on this.

I rec'd, applied and now have the card based on the 30,000 pt offer but subsequently have rec'd the 50,000 offer. No pts actually rec'd. Amazing how quickly the free night posted.
Extra 20,000 pts is worth about $100 and I never have a problem with something for nothing.
Is it worth my time to chase?

Give Chase a call about the extra 20K points. It will take some time to have it post, but ask to speak to a supervisor if necessary.

I did that about two weeks ago and I received a call from Chase today indicating the extra 20K points have been submitted and should post to my account in a few days.

I'm still waiting for the Cat 4 free night though. The original 30K points posted fairly quickly.

The 50K link has gone dead last night

so glad I applied yesterday (no decision online due to IP block ??, and had to call in)

whew~ was gonna wait till Oct 30/31

Two questions re: restaurants:

i) does include take out food establishments?
ii) does it include restaurants outside of Canada?

1000 in out of country expenses (entire bill was out of country as I use something else in Canada), finally posted to my Marriott account.

ii is definitely the case, and i... I believe so although it doesn't give me a breakdown of which transactions counted towards the double points.

Unfortunately Marriott doesn't break down which transactions specifically qualify for the 2x points. However based on my statement I can also confirm out of country restaurants and hotel (non-Marriott) charges do earn 2x points. Restaurants such as McDonald's out of country are included in the 2x points.

If you value Marriott points at around 0.8 cents/point. That's like getting a 1.6% return on restaurants and hotel charges. On top of that you are saving the 2.5% foreign currency exchange charge for a total savings/return of over 4%.

YES, the $85 annual fee is a dead giveaway
plus, on the application page, only STATES were shown in drop down :)

I had applied for this card a few weeks ago and received the 30k points. Last night I received an email indicating a 50K points bonus if signed up. I called chase to ask for the 20k adjustment given my email. The rep on the phone made the adjustment without hassle and it should post after this cycle is up.

Hope this helps anyone who applied previously.

I just signed up for the card, and need 2 more nights to get Gold for this year....the website says it takes 6-8 weeks for the nights to post, but that would push into 2013 (making the nights useless for this year's status). Can I ask for anecdotal evidence as to how long the 15 bonus nights take to post?

Thanks!

I applied in late August and my wife applied in mid October. Both of us had the free night cert, Silver status and the 15 elite night credits in our Marriott accounts before we had received the CCs from Chase in the mail.

A separate FYI, my free night cert was set to expire at the end of February, while my wife's was expiring in mid April. I had a specific reservation where I wanted to use both certs in early April. I called Marriott and they were happy to extend the free night cert for a couple of months (technically they voided the first one and issued a new one with a 6-month expiry from the date I called earlier this month).

Got another 50K mail offer last week. The letter does not have a web page any more, but it does state the following toward the end:

.... or call 1-888-530-2938 using your Promotion Code X2FP

For those that already have this card - do you know if your order gift cards/eGiftCards at marriott.com and pay with this card you get the 5X points per dollar spent?

They currently have a 10X per dollar promotion and it would be a real bonus if this credit card classifies it as the 5X bonus.

I have not yet done this with my new Premier card, but I'm 99% sure that it passed as a Marriott spend on my old Plat card last year. I will be ordering some gift cards soon, so we'll see.

Just happened to me (points posted but no card yet). However, I only got the 30,000 when I applied to the card for the 50,000 points. Does anyone know if the additional 20,000 are posted after the first charge to the card? Or, have they made the mistake (is it Chase or Marriott I would contact for the additional points)?

Contact Chase and make sure they sent the proper amount to Marriott to be posted to your account.

A lot of people applied for the 30K, but then got a targeted email for 50K and then called in to Chase to get them to send a request for an additional 20K - so they would certainly do the same for you if not already done so...

I would like to try this, too. It would be great to get those bonus points!

Anyone know what it costs to ship them to Canada? It looks like you can order eGift Cards - are they simply emailed to you (so you don't have to pay for shipping and wait for them to be mailed)?

Still have not had either the nights or the points post :-( I am most concerned about getting the nights to post because I want to make platinum this year and am at 61 nights so far... the 15 bonus nights would put me at 76. Would I call Chase to inquire about that??

Should add that I have been using the card for the last 2 weeks....

Yah, I am in the same boat.

According to another poster here, the 'bonus' points are supposed to show after they run some program on the 11th of each month. I am not showing my bonus points NOR am I showing points earned from my Marriott Visa (my first statement was generated last week).

Anyone know how long it takes for the points to show up on your account after your statement is generated? If not showing bonus points this week, is it good to call again? And should I be calling Chase or Marriott - or BOTH?

since its Chase providing you the points, IMO your call should be directed to them................
BTW, on your statement you should see the # of pts Chase is crediting to your acc't........
I don't know where you're getting this 11th of each month info from.......

Another poster said a CSR at Marriott told him/her that bonus points were awarded after they ran some program/update on the 11th of each month. Not sure how true that is. I'll wait a few more days and then call Chase. Thanks!!!

Just got my parents to apply. Both got will get a response within 10 days.
I entered the X2FP code on the website link so I hope it works, if not then I guess I call and deal with it. eugh.

I did a few keyword search on this thread and seems can't find the answer to my question:

How many (business) days does it usually take from statement cut-off date to the points show up on my Marriott account?

My statement cut-off date is 11th, but never show up yet on my Marriott accuont. Trying to see if I will get the 50K sign-up bonus or not. I got my free night and 15 nights credit the day after I was approved.

Thanks

Just a quick update to those people looking to get the extra 20,000 (for 50,000 bonus total) offered in the targeted emails.

I called a month ago and had a CSR honor the extra 20,000 and she told me she sent the request to Marriott. I said, "Are you sure? Do you need a promo code?" "No, that's fine. And here's my CSR# in case you need to follow-up". All very professional and everything.

I called Chase yesterday because I had a question about my regular statement points not showing up on my Marriott account, and the CSR confused me so much, that I asked to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor explained that the points are posted 30 days after they are reported (so points earned this statement will not appear for another month on my Marriott account) and while I was on the phone, I asked him when my extra 20,000 would show up. He said, "What extra 20,000?". I proceeded to find out that my 20,000 that was promised by the original CSR a month ago wasn't recorded/requested at all! Thankfully, the call was recorded, so it was obvious that the SCR messed up, so the supervisor apologized profusely and even gave me an extra 10,000 points for my trouble. Note that he asked for a promo code, and it wasn't listed anywhere in the email. He asked for the promo code that started with an 'x'. I saw 'X2CW' in the URL when you click apply now, and I quoted that and he said, "Great - that's what I needed. That's the Silver Elite code". So, then I am thinking, Well, I wasn't Silver Elite until the applied for the card, so it was the Silver Elite status that generated the 50,000 promo email! Kind of ironic, but it was okay with him, so I was happy. So, if all goes well, I will come out of this with 60,000 bonus points!!! Fingers crossed!

Oh - and I asked about the significance of the 11th of each month. This is how it was explained:

On the 11th of each month, Chase sends account information to Marriott, which is then posted a month later. So, if your statement is generated on Dec. 18, that info won't get sent until Jan. 11th, and then posted to your account on Feb. 11th. In other words, they are always at least one month behind. This is how it was explained to me, but I can't confirm yet, since I've only had one statement. My statement date is Dec. 11 and I should have 31,000 points right now, but my account is still zero. This is because the points were 'sent' on Dec. 11th, but won't be 'posted' until Jan. 11th. How backwards is THAT?!

How many (business) days does it usually take from statement cut-off date to the points show up on my Marriott account?

My statement cut-off date is 11th, but never show up yet on my Marriott accuont. Trying to see if I will get the 50K sign-up bonus or not. I got my free night and 15 nights credit the day after I was approved.

Got my paper statement in the mail yesterday and it show the 50K on the statement. ^

and as CaseyN2 respond from the other thread - http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marriott-rewards-including-ritz-carlton/1418130-chase-marriott-points-posting-time.html, all points including the 50K show up today, dated Dec 18 on my account:

You're right - the information the SCR AND the supervisor gave me at Chase is incorrect. My statement was generated on the 11th, and Chase said they send this info on the 11th to Marriott, and it appears Marriott posted it on the 18th, as you reported. So, it's a one week delay - not a 30 day delay explained to me by Chase.

Jeez...they really have no idea what they're talking about over there...

Has anyone inquired as to why the

1 night ELITE credit for each $3000 spend

on the US card, and advertised significantly, is missing from the Canadian offer.

Just a quick update to those people looking to get the extra 20,000 (for 50,000 bonus total) offered in the targeted emails.

I called a month ago and had a CSR honor the extra 20,000 and she told me she sent the request to Marriott. I said, "Are you sure? Do you need a promo code?" "No, that's fine. And here's my CSR# in case you need to follow-up". All very professional and everything.

I called Chase yesterday because I had a question about my regular statement points not showing up on my Marriott account, and the CSR confused me so much, that I asked to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor explained that the points are posted 30 days after they are reported (so points earned this statement will not appear for another month on my Marriott account) and while I was on the phone, I asked him when my extra 20,000 would show up. He said, "What extra 20,000?". I proceeded to find out that my 20,000 that was promised by the original CSR a month ago wasn't recorded/requested at all! Thankfully, the call was recorded, so it was obvious that the SCR messed up, so the supervisor apologized profusely and even gave me an extra 10,000 points for my trouble. Note that he asked for a promo code, and it wasn't listed anywhere in the email. He asked for the promo code that started with an 'x'. I saw 'X2CW' in the URL when you click apply now, and I quoted that and he said, "Great - that's what I needed. That's the Silver Elite code". So, then I am thinking, Well, I wasn't Silver Elite until the applied for the card, so it was the Silver Elite status that generated the 50,000 promo email! Kind of ironic, but it was okay with him, so I was happy. So, if all goes well, I will come out of this with 60,000 bonus points!!! Fingers crossed!

The "silver elite" thing makes sense.

I'm silver and gf is base level. I keep getting emails offering 50000 points while she keeps getting the same email but offering 30000. And usually the emails (to me and to her) come at the same time.

Well it's just like why spg Amex USA has elite credit but Canada doesn't.


So my mom got her card, now waiting to see if points post and how long. Also has anyone used their free night cert?

I used mine a few weeks after I got it. Saved about $120...not bad!

I've also used the free night cert...$120ish savings as well. Could have probably tried to squeeze some more value out of it but was feeling poorly after Christmas!

Was it a cat 4 or a cat 5? the brochure in the mail says 1-5 once per year but I think the website said 1-4 for the first year then 1-5 after.

How did you get the cert to work? I've been trying to book using the cert and cannot see how you actually invoke the thing. The instructions on the website suggest that e-certs will show up at the payment process and then to click on that, but I'm not seeing that.

I believe mine was Cat 1-4
I used it for Buffalo hotel, retail rate was $145+tax online

I think you search under "Reward"
then indeed it'll show up under Payment or during the check-out process and your total will become $0.00

If you don't see it, are you sure you did get it (eg. you got an email)?

Thanks. Two certs (one for another promotion) show up on my account summary page. I'll search under Reward and see what happens.

Yeps it was a Cat 4. I think the free cert they give you for signing up is a Cat 1-4, and then every year when you pay the annual fee they give you a Cat 1-5. So as long as you use your cert for more than $120, the card essentially pays for itself! =)

I was told that I had to call to make the reservation, so that's what I did when I used mine. Then your email confirmation will have a note on there than an e-cert will be sent to the hotel.

Just noticed that the 15 elite credit nights have reset to 0 (I assume because its a new year?), but does anyone know if the 15 elite credit nights for the new year will then automatically post? Thanks!

what??????? have no idea what you're asking.......

Yes, the 15 elite nights credit get reset to 0 as the year roll over as you assumed. It is my understanding these elite nights get posted when you renew your card. Hence, the $120 renew/annual fee will give you 15 elite nights and 1 CAT 1-5 free night.

@BKKLEE sorry for the poorly worded question! But thanks to alc for interpreting and providing the answer I was looking for =)

Does anyone know how they are targeting members? I'm a Marriott Silver right now but haven't receive any target offers.... would sign up this card for a heart beat if I get 50K.

Does anyone know how they are targeting members? I'm a Marriott Silver right now but haven't receive any target offers.... would sign up this card for a heart beat if I get 50K.

I think the CC sign up/silver status was triggering the targeted 50K emails.

I'd wait a while - and if you don't get the email for simply being silver, then apply for the card, and you'll surely get the 50K email after that. Then you can call in and get them to apply the extra 20K (everyone has been successful doing that).

It's easy. Sign up for the card and get the 30k and then call back with the special "code" from above to get the extra 20k points. Worked for me!

Well, they'd have to note that your application online was before the deadline of the code.

Wait it out! Probably only a few months before another round of email offers.

to those who applied for the card: how long did you have to wait for the card to come ? I got the promo through post mail and sent back the application form. I haven't heard anything from them yet.

Ages! I have two Chase cards, and while both applications got instant approvals online, the cards took FOREVER to get in the mail. I live out west also, so not sure if that is a factor, but it took almost 3 weeks from the time I got the approval to the time I got the card in the mail.

You might want to call to check on your application, though, since it wasn't done online...

Took 5 weeks to get the card by mail. I applied by phone and used the code above to get 50K MRP. No problem at all. Don't know if the promo is targeted but it doesn't matter. If they offer you 30K then just say that you have the promo code and request the other 20K points. They will give it to you. If they say no, then just ask for a supervisor.

Glad to see this worked for you.

Has anyone called after December 15, and been OK'd for the extra 20K points? :)
I've had the card for 3 months; trying to find out if I have any chance if I call now and ask for 20K. :p

When did you apply? If before the "expiration" of the code, you can probably use one of the ones listed a few pages back.

I think you have a very good chance, since you applied (and had the card) around the time when they were sending that targeted offer by email.

Go for it!

I think your better off cancelling it when your 6 months are up, then re applying.
The promotion is still going on.

It worked! 20,000 points will be added on my next statement. Thanks!

I recently received another 50,000 point offer, but discarded it as I had just applied for the 30,000 point offer instead (thought the 50k would not come back).

They sent me the card, but with a different Marriott Rewards number than my account - where the error stems from, who knows?!

So... can I still apply for the 50,000 point offer now since I don't actually have a credit card attached to my own Marriott Rewards account? :D

Are these 50,000 point offers publicly available? I'm not a regular Marriott customer so haven't been targeted with any special offers.

The 50K promos are targeted via email. The links to apply for the card in the emails are tied into the Marriott Reward member number, though the code at the bottom of the email are typically a generic code. I'm not sure if you can apply without that targeted link, or if you can just smooth talk your way into getting the 50K promo by just mentioning the generic code.

People here and at the RFD playground have suggested that you won't get the 50K promo unless you are a Silver Status member. That said, if you see the 30K promo, apply and get approved for the card, then you will be granted Silver Status (!!!)...and if you're lucky, you'll see the 50K promo appear shortly thereafter, in your email.

Clear as mud? Hahahaha! ;)

I received the targeted email last Fall, so I don't think the code will be the same anymore. There really isn't an expiry, they just keep sending out the targeted 50K emails on an ongoing basis.

Okay, let me try out a few things..

My friend told me about something called "Elite Gold Challenge". In a nutshell, Marriott will upgrade you to Gold Elite status for 3 months. Within this 3 months, if you can complete 6 paid stay in Marriott family of hotels, they will extend your gold status for another year. So if you haven't used your free night stay certificate, upgrade your status right before your free night, and enjoy the benefit of GOLD, which include complimentary internet, lounge access, and free breakfast, possibly room upgrades, plus many others. I just did it and going to stay one night at Marriott Courtyard Hong Kong in May :)
Just call their CS and request the complimentary upgrade!

You may as well go for the Platinum challenge if you know you can't complete the challenge

and I think you can only challenge so often, so personally I wouldn't do it unless I can complete the challenge. Gold benefits aren't that GREAT to warrant an intentional mis-usage of a challenge

I did not know about the Platinum challenge. I was only Silver (obtained only because of getting the Premier Visa card). So would they allow me to do a Platinum challenge from a Silver status member?

I don't stay at Marriott. I will never complete the challenge. It's a one time deal for me!

If I recall correctly, I was only a basic member when I request thhe Platinum Challenge.

I can confirm that this card is churnable.

Applied September 2012 - Received 30,000 Bonus points + 1 free night stay in October 2012.

Cancelled card in March 2013. Re-applied late March 2013.
Received bonus points (50,000) Mid April but no free night certificate (no way around it). Oh well...

Used the points for 2 free nights at the Cosmo, Las Vegas over May Long weekend (70,000) . The rack rate for these rooms were $500+ a night...

Great return :)

Fantastic!!! I thought my 2 nights at the Marriott Marco Island during July 4th ($400+ per night) for 70K was a great value. Yours is even better!

I earned my 70K in 6 months with one card sign-up only (I got 50K for my sign-up, 10K awarded as a courtesy because I had bonus points missing, and then 10K I earned with spending).

I am tempted to churn this card after reading your post, but honestly I love this card so much, it will physically HURT to cancel it! I feel the same way about my Amex Gold! The free night every year pays for the annual fee, but it would be nice to get that sign-up bonus every year....

I wonder if I should keep it just for the FX savings (even though I don't use USD that much), with category increases the free night is getting less valuable, same with 50K points

I redeemed 30K points for a NYC stay (Cat 6), and among 3 30K properties (Fairfield) retail rates range from $350/night to $650/night. I sure don't consider them "realistic" in the first place :)

Interesting, directly contravenes T&C (which Amex and the others don't have):

OH! Really?! If it is a sketchy churn, then I definitely won't risk it!

There's nothing sketchy with churning, just that you won't get the offer (as in the 30k points I think).

I wonder if I should keep it just for the FX savings (even though I don't use USD that much)

I had been thinking the same since I got the card. I use it not just in USD, I use it everywhere outside or Canada. When I use it in HK, the exchange rate is still better than anything else that I had been using... and I do not need to carry cash with me all the time in HK. But I think once my 1 year is up, I will just switch to either "Chase Amazon.ca Rewards Visa Card" or "Chase Sears Financial™ MasterCard®" as they do not have annual fee with No foreign currency transaction charge. I am not sure if paying $120 for a CAT 1-5 cert is really that good of a deal.

There's nothing sketchy with churning, just that you won't get the offer (as in the 30k points I think).

I wasn't saying churning was sketchy - I was saying THIS churn could be sketchy - as in you may not get the 30K points...which makes it a useless churn...

I am not too concerned anyway. I think this card is worth the annual fee for all it offers - and I'll stick to churning cards that are sure things...

Well it depends on how much you value that cert, because everything else you can get with an alternative card.

Actually, you still get Silver Elite status with Marriott, as well the cert. Well worth the annual fee for me, considering I stay at the Marriott chain frequently, but not enough to get status from stays alone. 5x the points for Marriott stays is pretty decent, too...

Marriott’s Taste of Platinum Challenge - Frequent Miler
http://boardingarea.com/blogs/frequentmiler/2012/12/20/marriotts-taste-of-platinum-challenge/

Just for the record: Marriott's challenge used to be based on nights (I think it was Gold: 12 nights, Platinum: 18 nights), but in June or July 2012 they changed to stays: Gold: 6 stays; Platinum: 9 stays. Much easier challenge for mattress runners and it works well for their Mega bonus promos too.

Does anyone have an active link to the 50,000 bonus points sign up? Even though the offer is targetted, in fact, anyone can use the link.

Just spoke to Chase Visa (Canada). Apparently, they just sent out new promo offers for the 50k. The code I have has expired.... so, I'm now waiting for a new code. Anyone out there receive the latest 50K (Canadian Visa) offer?

You'll see the code when you click on the "Apply Here" link in the email. In the URL at the end of the link it'll have a code that starts like this =X*** that's the code we need :)

Hmmm thanks... anyone who has the promo code please post! :)

Oops. Sorry. I've edited my previous post.
The best available, as others correctly point out, is still 30,000.

Really hoping for the 50K link/code, TIA

We're all hoping for the 50K offer to return. Right now, it's 30K.

If & when 50K comes back, the news will be on this thread, and also on this thread:
Milesbuzz! Canada (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/milesbuzz/1466579-milesbuzz-canada.html).
Stay tuned.
