Thanks to everyone on this thread for sharng their experences. I too had applied for the50K offer about 1 months back, and asked for a bump to 70K last week, and got favorable response from the secure mail route.

Flyertalkers rock!

The Premier card is a separate card from the VISA Signature card. Why don't you apply for the Premier card (which should get you all the sign-up bonus), then when you have it, just allow the Signature card to expire?

Thanks OP! Just got me another cat 4 night thru secure message.

To those naysayers, I think there is really no point in discouraging people to try. The worst thing that can happen is you get denied, no big deal. The upside on the other hand is nothing to sneeze at.

I've had a Marriott Card for a few years - will now be closing it down to 'streamline' the number of hotel, airline etc. CC

The Marriott Premier card 70M, 1st yr. fee waiver promo - is a great offer - however, rep says it is only good for FIRST TIME MARRIOTT CARD HOLDERS (no matter what card you have had in the past, including the business card)

Has anyone had any (good?) experience in 'churning' CHASE cards???

I am keeping active (CHASE) Priority Club VISA (I got 80M & status w/ 'Crack the Case' Promo & this card gets (1) free night each year, so worth the annual fee)

also keeping active (CHASE) UA VISA (no annual fee, $2=1 mi., is 'grandfathered in' & not available anymore).

Bye, bye to the rest of (CHASE) cards. Not worth it for me to pay CC annual fee without a positive annual benefit. (varous promos offered thru the 'regular' VISA got only Cat. 4 Hotels - hardly useable.)

Happy

So basically there is no public link for the 70K offer but Chase is agreeing to give the 20K additional pts for those who got the 50K within 90 days?

I mentioned that in one of the secure messages, and was told that since I already had a Marriott visa I was not eligible for the signup bonus regardless.

I'm kinda happy with what I ended up with. I'm not a churner, just a guy that spends 70-100 nights on the road a year.... Was looking for a few more points, and got them.

I'm aware of the 50k sign-up for the personal CC and have that link. But I can only find a 22.5k sign-up bonus with 2 free nights for the business card. Really looking for the 50k Biz. Does it exist and anyone know of the link? Thanks in advance!

I just opened 11 separate offers that Chase-Marriott has sent to me over the past several months. Not one of them has the 70,000 sign-up bonus. I've got three for 30,000 and eight for 50,000.

Was just approved (via phone) for the 50k offer...will send a SM asking for the additional bonus once I get the card...I did ask if I could apply for the 70k bonus but the rep said the 50k was the only one she saw available.

I know. I even opted out in the spring. When I came back from a 5 week overseas trip, I have 7 of these invitations in the mailbox from Marriott. 6 for 50,000 points and 1 for 70,000 points. I spend my in-between-trip time at home shredding these things (Only got 2 from WN, 2 from CO/UA and 1 from PriorityClub.)

I would sign up just to stop this junk mail from coming - of course, that would not stop it either

Only bad experiences here. I received miles a few years ago for a United card and when I applied again I received another United credit card but no miles. Apparently, they are keeping track of applications. The fine print implies that if you've received a promotion for any of their credit cards then you won't get a bonus again. So I'm wondering if I received the United bonus that I won't get the Marriott bonus. I don't need another credit card if I don't get something for it.

Also, I complained to them about not getting the miles. I wouldn't have minded if they denied the credit card application because I received the promotion years before but what pissed me off was approving the credit card and then denying the miles. They responded with a list of my applications over the past 15 years and how many times I've received a mileage bonus. I canceled the new card the day I received the letter denying me the miles. I don't care if it cost my credit rating 10 points for 6 months.

One additional data point. Yesterday Mrs. Z and I received our cards (two separate accounts). Sent a secure message in and both of us received a reply that we will be credited 20k points.

Many thanks to the OP and flyer talk in general ^

I had the same experience -- send a SM. Read previous messages to get a flavor of how to ask.

My extra 20,000 points appeared on my first billing statement under "Courtesy
Adjustments"

I had a Marriott Visa a couple of years ago, and then cancelled it before it charged the annual fee. I am also interested in hearing other people's feedback on the churning issue. A year or two after the original account had been closed, has anyone gotten the bonus points again?

Thanks.
