This discussion thread is focused on the "classic" (or "old") Marriott Rewards Premier Visa Card issued by Chase (a black metal card) that is currently closed to new applicants. The classic card provides one elite night credit for every $3,000 of spend, an annual free night certificate (which may be used at Category 1-4 hotels), and 15 elite night credits annually.
The discussion thread on the "current" Marriott Premier Plus Visa Card (a/k/a Chase Marriott Bonvoy Visa Card) may be found here: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marr...on-thread.html.
There is also a discussion thread in the Chase credit card forum on the Marriott cards: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/chas...ts-2016-a.html. Note that this Chase forum discussion thread has posts on both the classic and current cards (which have slightly different benefits.)

The bloggers are all reporting that the new sign-up bonus restrictions limiting bonus cross Amex and Chase start Aug 26. However, I just went to apply for a Marriott Biz Card and it clearly states that bonus is not available if you have any of the three Starwood Credit Cards (Luxury, Personal, or Business). Did Chase move up the date of these new restrictions or what? Seems like a big bummer.

Sharing my experience with upgrading the Premiere card to Premiere plus. I called Chase a month ago to upgrade my card and the rep told me I would receive 10k points after 1 purchase, a 25k point anniversary free night certificate in September, and the new 35k point certificate next year. I just hit my first anniversary and I received the new Premier Plus Free Night Award in my account instead of the old 25k point cert.

Does Marriott cancel the 15-night credit card bonus if you cancel the card?
My 15 nights toward elite status, by virtue of my Marriott business credit card, have already posted to my Marriott account. My $99 renewal fee for the card is due in a few days. If I cancel the card, do I lose those 15 nights? The Chase CSR I just spoke to said yes, but I wanted to double-check since she didn't seem to otherwise know what she was talking about.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks very much, nj. FWIW, this is what I'd been told in the past, but this CSR sounded insistent and another I'd recently asked also sounded negative about retaining the nights, though less certain.
Any other inputs/data points are welcome.

Has anyone has points post post 8/18 merger from Chase Marriott Visa. My last statement was 8/21 and points usually post in a day or two after statement date. But still no points from 8/21 statement.
I figured give it an extra week or two. But still no points. Amex SPG points post fine, but not Chase Marriott ones.
I worry about it going to wrong account as Marriott made me change my Marriott number before the merge date. They told me not to worry about telling Chase as they would take care of it....
My account is merged using my new Marriott number.

Both of us have upcoming reservations - he has 2 paid stays which look fine. I have a Chase certificate stay which, after 2 phone calls, I'm told is correct but I have no way of knowing if that's true. It's for October so I'm just waiting until they contact me before I go, since I do not have enough points in my account.
I'm sort of giving DPs based on a few recent questions, but that's how we look right now.
The one question I have, and maybe it's buried someplace in one of the threads, but we were both Marriott Silver before the merger, I think we were both nothing with spg, yet now he is still Marriott silver and I am now Marriott gold - no idea why.

Just received email I’m approved for the 75000 bonus premier plus Visa card
surprised since reading all the CCs that disquailified you if you had before thought I wouldn’t be approved since I had many of them. Truthfully I was so confused by the extensive list and timing.
i just used used a bunch of points for a European trip that I had received from a previous bonus offer
Guess it pays to apply even if you think it won’t succeed

Got a response from Marriott support today about Chase points not posting. Took them 7 days to respond.
After I got their response, I checked my account and the points from my 8/21 statement posted today. Now if it just showed my lifetime status and all my reservations -- oops I'm having a fantasy again.
Thank you for taking the time to reach out to Marriott Customer Care today.

Any data points on how long it took the 100K points to post after passing the $5K spend? I'm at 4 weeks and counting (and I know it's 8-12 but usually hasn't taken that long...)

2 free nights + $200 credit; $3K spend in 3 months
Is this the "new normal" for the Marriott Rewards Premier Plus card? This offer popped up today while I was looking at a possible CASH rez. The 2 free nights are capped at 35K each. Oh, AF waived for 1st year too. Current offer at chase.com is 75K pts.

My husband received a card in the mail offering 20K Marriott points if he upgraded his Marriott Rewards card. He would get an annual 35K points free night as opposed to 25K and his annual fee would rise just $10. It made sense to me so I used the link (marriottrewards.com/upgrade) to accept the offer. Imagine my surprise when the offer popped up as 50K points. He has to make a single purchase by Dec 31 2018 to get the points.
