Tips:
- Go to marriott.com and apply for a Marriott Rewards account first, and have the member/account number ready during application. If you did NOT do this then Chase will create an account for you - look for the numbers on the lower left of your new Visa card, it may be displayed there.
- Spend at least $1 on your new card by the 9th of the month, so that the txn posts by the 11th onto your online account at Chase (https://online.chasecanada.ca).
- Seemingly, all Canadian Chase Marriott Visa accounts cycle on the 11th of the month. Points are posted by Chase to Marriott.com and the 50K points will appear by the 18th or 19th of the month.
- You will see the points posted on page 3 of your paper statement when it arrives in the postal mail. Chase does not provide Canadians with an online PDF statement, only transactions. If by the 19th you don't see points posted, double-check the Marriott Rewards number on your paper statement to ensure it matches your true account number, in case Chase messed up and created a new MR account on your behalf.
- When setting up payment for the card at online banking, look for "MARRIOTT VISA" as the card name.
- If using this card outside of Canada, ensure you prime the PIN onto the card at a CHIP/PIN terminal while IN Canada, before you leave for your trip. You cannot prime the card while in Europe (for eg.)
- YMMV, but if you decide to cancel this card, it is advisable to do it WELL before the anniversary date, as Chase may not pro-rate a refund.
- If you plan to use this card outside of Canada (no FX fees), you should call Chase to let them know, so your card won't get locked. I've never called when using it on extended travel in the US, but for sure I would call and let them know if I was going to use it elsewhere (Europe, Asia, Antarctica).
- If you log out of MARRIOTT.COM and notice an 80,000 point offer, it is a USA-only offer.

Yeah, kind of sad to see it go.
I still have one more welcome Cat1-4 eCert that I couldn't find a use for, so I was able to call Marriott to extend it another year. I'd been reading recently that others have been told NO to the extension of these eCerts, so I guess I was one of the lucky ones (kudos and thanks to suggestions from NotJustDreaming).
I can't see myself keeping the card for another year though. The $120 annual fee would pay for itself with the anniversary Cat 5 eCert for those who can use this, but we also struggled to use these effectively during the past few years, and had to extend them as well. Plus, who knows if they will continue to issue these anniversary eCerts. I know it's a benefit listed in the terms, but maybe Chase will just chisel it out of there, like the way they appear to be clearing a path to make their way (slink away) out of Canada.
Amex appears to be making moves to drop their Aeroplan affiliation (see announced changes coming Sep 27?). And with their current somewhat-surprising enhanced 25K welcome offer on the Amex SPG cards (till Oct 18), I wonder if they are culling in the cattle now, and then will herd them over to a new Amex Marriott offering, dropping SPG altogether, or a hybrid card (is that even possible)? Remember when CIBC and Aimia were discussing their future relationship in 2013? CIBC ran their FYF promos on the Aeroplan cards to bring in as many new clients as they could, and then sold them in 2014 to the new player in the game, TD. Similarly, it seems like Amex is swelling the SPG card client numbers using this 25K promo for some ulterior motive too.

The other Chase card in Canada is the Amazon.ca Visa (no FX fees). New applications for it got shuttered earlier this year as well, in April 2017.
At least it earns SOMETHING (1% / 2% at Amazon.ca) while saving the 2.5% FX fees. I like the instant $20 statement credits once you reach 2K points accumulated.

I have a category 1-4 e-certificate from signing up for the this card last year. Has anyone been able to book a higher category 5 room, and then ask a rep to apply the certificate and add 5000 points to get it booked?

I didn't know that. So there are no more cards in Canada with no FX fees??

Any indication how much longer we'll get to enjoy our Chase cards? I have both the Marriott and the Amazon cards, and love both.....

The HSBC one has a $50 rebate if you are premier, and a $100 annual travel credit. Some could make it work

I'm one the fence regarding cancelling this card and reapplying in 6 months. One one hand I want to cancel in order to reapply in 6 months and get another 50,000 Marriott Rewards points, but on the other hand I am afraid that Chase will discontinue this card within the next 6 months and I don't want to lose this account because of the no-FX fee feature and the annual hotel certificate which compensates for the annual fee.

The bad news: I dunno if this information is helpful any more.
Curiously, my credit limit is only $1,000.
Which, frankly, is perfect for me.
But I'm surprised to see a card issued with that low a limit.

I did call Chase about the Marriott card and asked the front line rep what's up, and after she put me on hold she just gave me the regular "it's business as usual for now", and did not offer any insight on how long they would keep the card going, but said "IF we do discontinue the card, BUT NOT saying we will, but IF we do discontinue the card we will give you at least 30 days notice". Whoopie Doo.
People are chattering about keeping the Marriott card, paying the annual fee to get the anniversary e-cert and keeping the card for the non-FX feature. I'd hate to then see Chase pull the card off the scene 2 months after I paid my AF.

I don't remember how much heads up I was given when Chase closed all Bestbuy visa cards, but I think it was well beyond thirty days

Kudos to you, CRIMSONA. The FIRST person (I recall) in April who correctly predicted Chase would stop/cancel the Marriott Visa, back when the Amazon.ca Visa stopped accepting new applications.
