** On or before May 30th, 2018** - ALL Chase Marriott cardholders that held the card as of March 15th, 2018, will receive:

• 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.

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.

I recently ran into troubles getting the agents to extend my expiring certs. They said the card needs to be active for them to grant extension and since Chase exited Canada obviously the card is not active therefore they can't extend.
Has anyone had better luck with this? Any pointers?

I did this back in April, and this was on a card that was closed for good 8 months... It took call / web message / web message / call again and only on that last call did they extend. For my husband's card the first web message (only contact) and they extended without binking an eye (that card too was canceled prior to Chase closing).
HUACA is your friend (through all channels you can muster, one at the time), and be sure to mention that it was not YOUR choice to get rid of the card, Marriott/Chase simply ditched Canadian market.

Elite nights credit
U.S. Chase members get a 15 elite nights credit. However, Marriott/Chase recently closed their Canadian based accounts.
Has there been recent discussion on whether a replacement card or offer will be made available for Canadians?
Or are we SOL?
TIA.

Chase is gone from Canada. At this point, you have to assume they'll never return. Even if someone else picks up the Marriott card business, there's zero chance it will be nearly as lucrative as the U.S. card. That's just a fact of Canadian credit card life.

Now, they haven't announced the actual number of nights yet (they did say "by the new year"), nor do they list it as a benefit anywhere on their site.

Sure - AMEX had confirmed it back in July, in a letter mailed out to all current members. Here's a link to the letter we all received: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/show...postcount=2004
