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.

On 4 out of 4 recent statements where I had transactions at Starwood hotels, this spend was not properly credited at 5x the points. Every month, I had to call and get an agent to fix it. They always did it, but I could really do better things with my time. Each call is about 30min.
I put it down to teething problems in the first few months, but it's still not fixed and now it starts feeling like laziness on Chase's part, with cardholders paying the price.

Ever since the 5x multiplier on this card was extended to Starwood properties... it fails.

I stay in SPG Hotels all over the world, including Canada. And I don't have the Amex card. I just want this card's benefits to be consistently honored.

For anyone that's gotten the card before Chase Canada stopped taking applications, was there a minimum spend? Signed into my Marriott account today and saw this card's banner (leading to a dead link, of course) saying 50,000 pts after $3000 minimum spend...

I didn't get the card, but I did notice that the e-mail offers I received in the last couple of months switched from 50,000 pts after 1st purchase to 50,000 pts after $3,000 spend.

I applied on August 22, got the card ten days after, and the 50000 points with the first spend. Points were posted with the first statement.

Received the Canadian Marriott Rewards Premier Visa card two weeks ago after applying on-line by invitation. The online form was a nuisance, particularly occupation - retired. For retired, the online form wanted an employer. My thinking is, if you are retired, you no longer have an employer. Once I had the card, I picked a PIN.
Last week Chase bank calls me from the "Fraud and Security Department" on Wednesday, we basically repeat all information filled out on-line previously and this time add my former employer (before retirement). The agents assures me everything is good and card can be used. This takes perhaps 20 minutes with the agent putting me on hold several times.
The next day, we do the same thing over again with another agent. This time 15 minutes and I vent a bit with him. Both times a call back number was left, but I called the number on the card.
Saturday, I go to buy a bottle at airport, PIN invalid. Next day check-in at Marriott at HKG, again PIN did not work at check-in; but the room charge was forced through manually after I did the Express C/O.
Got a letter dated Sept. 20/17 requesting the same information again within 30 days (this would make it the 4th time). At this point the card will go back but I would like to see the bonus points first.
This is the first credit card in my life that has given grief. Life goes on.

CHASE has BRUTAL customer service. I've had many holds put in this card for fraud suspicion and it's always been difficult to deal with them. BUT the no foreign txn fee and my Marriott points are why I put up with it.

I enjoyed the benefits from this card for some time. Customer Service is bad generally with most card issues.

Has anyone had any issues recently getting the $120 annual fee refunded after it has posted to the card account? Looking at older posts it seems like it may be an issue with Chase?
If the card is cancelled on the 10th, but isn't fully shutdown by the 11th statement date, would the $120 still post to the account through some timed mechanism? Anyone?

When I opened my Chase Visa card it had just arrived prior to my travel. I did activate it, but I never used it until I was in Europe. They are more strict with chip PIN policies there, so my transactions were declined every time.
A Chase rep informed me that I needed to use it at least once while in Canada, otherwise the PIN would not be validated for the card and could not be used outside Canada. When I returned to Canada, I inserted it in a reader, keyed in my PIN and then signed for the purchase. It worked thereafter, in and outside of Canada.
