** On or before May 30th, 2018** - ALL Chase Marriott cardholders that held the card as of March 15th, 2018, will receive:
  • 1 Night Stay Certificate for a Category 1-5 Marriott Hotel
  • 15 Night Stay Credit towards elite status

** 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.
  • You can find List of Marriott Hotels and their Categories via below searches

It might be worth calling back another time to see if I can get any further clarification.

That's exactly what I was thinking when I was on the phone with them...

Going to wait and see if any offers come in the mail or via email over the next week or two.

Wait, is that link from the email? When I get redirected from the Marriott Site clicking on the card, I get the same exact same link. How did you get a 50k offer from that link?

On the Marriott Rewards page (after logging in) and clicking on the Visa card link it is redirecting me to the US version of the card. From there I click on the Canadian link at the bottom of the page and it also redirects me to this page.

I am wondering if the offer depends on your status. When I called in on the phone the representative was asking what my status level was with Marriott (Silver/Gold/Platinum).

Is there any chance Silver members might be eligible for the 50K bonus?

What I'd like to know is if anyone who is currently a Chase Marriott Visa card holder was able to get the sign-up bonus (and free first year). The offer speaks of 'Marriott Rewards Premier Visa Cardmember', but strictly speaking the old card isn't a 'Premier' Visa...

Would love to switch to this card, but obviously if I can't get all the bells & whistles, I'll be PO'd.

I'm going to tweet Chase tomorrow and see what I get. Better than Indian call centers...

Great idea! I was also thinking of calling Marriott Rewards tomorrow and seeing what they know about the new card and the 50K offer.

i appreciate the discussion i was waffling on this one - but the no foreign currency transaction fee is not common for Canadian credit cards and it is not a common offering for all Chase Canada credit cards either (i saw the Amazon.ca card had it too)

The first year annual fee waived was nice.

I'm a Starpoints junkie so it'll be interesting if this changes my hotel stay behaviour at all.

Silver status for Marriott Rewards is not half bad.

I also received the offer for 30K points only.

I am a Chase Marriott Visa cardholder in Canada and applied for the upgrade to the Premier card. They approved the card on the phone and I received the sign up bonus including the cat. 1-4 night (already in my account), the first year fee (of $120) waived and 50,000 bonus incentive points (not deposited in my account yet ) which I cannot confirm until they are deposited.

That's excellent news! I'm nearly at the 1-year anniversary of my MR Visa, so I'll probably call soon to make the switch.

So were you targeted for 50K?

I wasn't targeted for the 50K but they are aware that they have given a variety of messages to others so they told me that they would give me the 50K. I am a plat so perhaps that status helps but I'm not sure.

Three tweets over two days... no response. Are they ignoring me?
