If it is the case, you may want to call Marriott as this is handled by Marriott, not by Chase. Chase is only responsible the Points.
The 15 nights deposit took about a week, and was before the card even arrived.

You mean you see 70K deposited in your Marriott account but not the 15 nights credit? So you already have had the card for one statement cycle?

I got the points, the free night vert, and "silver status" - but only 1 night showing for my account for the year, no CC nights, called and they said lets wait 90 days from account opening, put a note on the account, etc. No worries.
Also, its "1 Elite Night Credit for every $3,000 spent" on the card - NOT 3000 points (double points for Dining, etc..) right?

Thanks everyone!

Did you have a full first statement cycle, or a shortened one? I assume you met the spend on the first cycle.
Yes, $3000 spend, not points, but actual $ spent.
If you are working to achieve Gold (50 nights needed), then the 15 nights are important. Otherwise it is pretty much meaningless.

I'm sorry, but why do you guys find the free cat 1-5 night stay that good? I'm looking at the hotels in desirable locations and most of them are above category 5.

That is kind of weird as it is not others experience.

Once I get the 70k, how long do I get to use them before they expire?

Or just keep it 11 months. Doesn't hurt. Use it from time to time. Be nice. They were nice. Haha

$85 for an annual free night seems like a pretty fair deal.

But it isn't really that good. With their devaluations the last couple years, I found the only places left in the categories where I could use the free night were suburban/interstate hotels where I could pretty much equal $85 without
trying too hard via priceline or hotels.com or something like that. And they always seemed to screw up and/or delay posting my limited free night.
I cancelled last year, and don't miss it. The signup bonus is good. I may try for that again after a few months.
I think the IHG annual free night is much better, or even the Club Carlson 40000 points.
