The 5/24 rule for Chase, where 5 or more new accounts in 24 months can result in an application denial, appears to apply to Marriott personal cards but not the Business version of the Marriott card. For up to date information, please consult the wiki at Applying for Chase Credit Cards, 2017 onward .
PERSONAL CARD
What are the current offers?
Marriott Bonvoy Boundless Visa card
Five free night Certificates for up to 50,000 points per night after making $5000 in purchases within 3 months of opening the card. $95 annual fee, not waived the first year. Certificates are valid for one year from date of issuance. 6x at Marriott, 2x on travel and everything else. There's also a host of other benefits with the Boundless.. please see the Chase link for details.
BUSINESS CARDS
Bonvoy Premiere Plus
__https://creditcards.chase.com/marriott/cardmember/premier_plus_business_benefits
Offers one free night award (up to 35K points) upon renewal and an additional free night with spend up to $60K in a year. 6x per $1 on Marriott spend, 4x on gas, restaurants, shipping and internet/cable/phone; 2x everything else
Bonvoy Business Card
__https://creditcards.chase.com/marriott/cardmember/rewards_benefits_
1x regular spend, 3x Marriott spend
Which offers are better?There is no universally correct answer. Relevant considerations include these:
- Are you currently points-rich or cash poor? If you have 1 million Marriott points already, paying $85 for another 10K probably doesn't make sense.
- What does your typical award redemption look like? Specifically, what yield (cents per point) do you normally get at the properties where you do award stays? Unless you're getting almost a penny a point--paying an $85 fee to buy an extra 10K points is not a good value proposition. (Adjust accordingly if you're considering paying the $99 fee for a business card with 80K bonus.)
- Will the extra 10K put you over the top for a planned award? If getting another 10K will make the difference between having & not having enough points for an award you expect to book in the near future, taking the points generally makes sense. (Keep in mind that Marriott has added a cash & points award option for stays of 2+ nights, so you won't necessarily need the same number of points as in the past for a given award stay.)
I'm afraid to use a blind application page that doesn't list the signup bonus previously available on a now-expired landing page. How can I trust the links in the wiki?
How? The same way you'd trust the advice you're reading right now. If that makes you uneasy, OK -- but don't post in the thread asking for further reassurance. It'll be fine. Really.
Can I apply for this card and earn the bonus after doing so previously?
See the wiki and related discussion in Applying for Chase Credit Cards.
Once I meet the card's initial spending requirement, how soon will I receive my signup bonus points?
Bonus points typically accrue at the close of the billing period in which you incur the corresponding charges. Points should appear in your hotel/airline account within a few days thereafter.
NOTE: If you complete your required spending in the last 7-10 days of the statement period, the bonus may not post until the following month's statement, even if the regular per-dollar points post on the first statement. This is normal behavior for Chase and is not worth a phone call.
If I hold both personal and business Marriott cards, will I receive a 15-night credit toward status for each?
When will the Elite Night Credit for spend on the card (1 night for each $3K) appear in my account?
According to this discussion, it can take anywhere from one week to almost two months after the close of the applicable statement. There are also reports that the night posts approximately ten days after the calendar month that the $3k is reached, regardless of the statement closing date. So in this instance, if you need that night to reach status by the end of the year, the spend would need to be met by the end of November in order for the night to post in December.
How do I make a booking using a free-night cert?
Can I exchange a soon-to-expire free-night cert for points? Extend its expiration? What if the cert has already expired?
If I cancel my card after the annual free-night cert has posted, will I lose the cert?
See the wiki at Chase Free Night Certificate
Are there bonuses for signing up for the Marriott Rewards program itself?
Yes. There are two publicly available offers for new members to the Marriott Rewards program itself:
- Earn 2000 points for each paid, points-earning stay within 365 days of signup, up to 10k total, available as a referral from existing members: 2014 Member Refer a Member Sign-Up Bonus
- Or, earn a Category 1-5 free night after your second paid stay within 120-150 days of signup: Cat 1-5 Free Night Offer

Just an FYI...
I am well within 24 months of opening other cards, but thought I'd try the Reserve Saphire application a few months ago. Denied.
Then I tried the Marriott card this month. Denied.
I have excellent credit, so I can only assume that Chase is very strict with its 24 month rule, and thus my declines. At least for me, although I see many others have gotten lucky.

Yes, that is correct. I have a Chase banking account, and I sat down with a rep who told me it was "worth a try" for me to apply, even though I told her I was within 5/24. I tried and was denied.

I got an offer in the mail today for 5X on all purchases in the first year (up to $30K) + 7,500 points for the first purchase by an AU. Looks like I'd still get the free category 1-5 night stay every year after the first year and the 15 elite credits/year with this offer. Also, there's no AF the first year either ($85/yr after of course).
Anyway, I'm curious to see whether this is targeted or if this is going to be the new public offer. 157,500 Marriott points over the course of the first year sounds pretty good in any case.
EDIT: actually, I'm not sure this particular offer still gives the elite credit per $3K in spend. Maybe it's not as good as I first thought.

Chase - Marriott Card
Good Morning. I'm not sure I am posting this in the appropriate place.
I applied last week for the Chase Mariott 80,000 Business Card. I was not automatically approved. I am trying to get the SW companion pass and transfer these 80,000 pts. to SW before March 31.
I have been checking my Chase business account and the card has not appeared. My question is....should I call to see if I can get it pushed through...or just wait it out? Thanks!!!

Try the first two numbers & then the forth one if you aren't automatically approved.

Since you are in a hurry I would call one of the #s at the bottom of the WIKI in this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chase...17-onward.html Usually they just ask a few questions about your business:Income, Future income, Sales, etc.
Try the first two numbers & then the forth one if you aren't automatically approved.

Have your business type, income, type of expenses, etc. ready to defend.

Starwood Hotels Stay
I read somewhere, that when you use your Marriott credit card at an Starwood hotel, you earn the same as you would if you had stayed at Marriott hotel. 5 points per $. I got my statement and only one point per $ spent. Anyone can send me to a link or did I just read it in my mind?

Problems arise in both directions because the card issuers' databases do not yet recognize every property. You probably won't have much difficult getting Chase to make a manual adjustment for a specific transaction.

Got an offer in the mail today for a Marriott visa and first $30k gets 5X - any purchase.
Is this sort of deal pretty common? Would like to focus on other chase cards before springing for this.

I hear you - I agree.
Separately, i also got a 2FN at a cat 1-8 after spending $3k in first 3 months.
They are ramping up the solicitations!

Could you possibly fill in the blanks regarding the other details of your offer, i.e. annual fee charged or waived, add'l points for AU, etc.? Also, was there an invitation code on the offer! Thank you.

In case anyone curious for a recent data point on the business card:
I'm a churner, way past 5/24. So I decided to try for Chase Marriott Business. I used my name, SSN, sole proprietor, etc.
Applied 2/16 got a 30 day message, approved 2/23 with an email.
Earlier in the week before applying I canceled my Chase Disney to get my Chase cards down to 3 total (Hyatt, IHG and Freedom). Earlier in the year I canceled my Southwest (after the anniversary miles posted). On personal cards they have sometimes fussed at me over the number of cards, I had to close my Marriott personal card to get my Southwest card.

I just got the Marriott Rewards Visa Signature Card and am trying to get to the 3K spend within 90 days to get the 80k bonus points. What is the best way to pay your mortgage with this card? I checked out Plastiq but not sure if anyone has been able to use this card with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage before. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
