** On or before May 30th, 2018** - ALL Chase Marriott cardholders that held the card as of March 15th, 2018, will receive:
** CHASE HAS CLOSED ACCOUNTS AS OF MARCH 15, 2018 **
By now you should have been notified that your Marriott Rewards® Visa® Credit Card will be closing on March 15, 2018. Here's what you need to know:
• CONTINUE EARNING.
You will still be able to continue to use your Marriott Rewards Visa Credit Card and earn points on eligible purchases through March 14, 2018. After that date, you will no longer be able to make purchases or earn points on your Marriott Rewards Visa Credit Card.
• USE YOUR POINTS.
This does not impact your Marriott Rewards account. You will still be able to access and use any points and benefits that you have earned.
If you have paid an annual fee for your card any time between April 2017 and December 2017, Chase Canada has said that they will give you a prorated rebate of the fee back as a statement credit on your account.
If, however, your annual renewal fee is due between January 2018 and March 2018, you will NOT have to pay it. You may continue to use your card until March 15, 2018
As a cardholder, you will still receive your 15 Elite Night Credits and Free Night Certificate, regardless of your anniversary date. They will be deposited into your Marriott Rewards account after March 14, 2018.
Existing Chase Marriott Visa cardholders will be given a special signup to the Amex SPG CC for 25,000 welcome points and $120/yr annual fee.

Information below is left here for reference only, so that others who applied before the deadline can refer to the info.
If you find a working application link buried in this thread and apply through it don't be surprised if you do not get the advertised welcome bonuses.

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.

Do you mean to say you were denied 2 previous times, but never pursued further to get the card approved? And now 3rd time was your lucky charm, so it's your first time getting the 50K promo?

10 weeks after my account opened, still missing Cat 1-5 cert, called Chase Canada, and got the following reply:
You won't get Cat 1-5 cert for the first year, but you will get it starting from the second year, as long as you keep the card and pay the annual fee.
Is this true? I did receive Cat 1-4 upon approval, but I am confused on the policy of Cat 1-5.

It says: "Anniversary free night stay e-certificate every year, valid for 6 months at participating Category 1-5 hotels". I suppose every marriage should begin their first anniversary on the wedding day.

Several weeks later I received a letter in the mail with the denial, but I usually received even that a month or two later when I was back in Canada.

Yes, because if you really have to convert to airline miles, you should convert them to BA Avios, also 15k (30k --> 10k, 20k --> 5k).
9k Avios round trip + lower taxes on AA is way better than 15k roundtrip with high taxes on Aeroplan

Well, for me, the best use for the 50K is to keep them as Marriott Rewards points, and find 3 nites of hotels for 15K, 15K, 20K redemptions (if applicable)...I'd rather try to use them for 3 nites for total of around $300-$400 value, rather than convert to any airline points. Your usage/needs may be different.

[edit: though the webpage does not mention an expiry date, it's uncertain but this promo may expire on Sept 30!
Call Chase to verify the promo!]
It's now a public offer (but not sure of the expiry date)!

I am trying to get my spouse to apply for this card! I've had mine for 3 years now and love it. I don't even mind the annual fee, because I stay at a Marriott every fall and get good value out of the free annual cert.
So my question is: if my spouse does apply, can I use MY Marriott Rewards number on HIS application for the credit card? Want to know if anyone has been successful with this.....

As spouses can transfer points to one another for rewards redemption, I wouldn't bother doing that. Rather send him a MR referral, get him his card on his own account, and book some of your future stays in his name - that way you both get the referral bonus.

Referral bonus, are you mixed up with your cards. E-certificates for new accounts yes but not for referring, or maybe I lost that opportunity.
