** 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.

If you have access to online banking, you could make more pre-payments onto the card if needed.
Thank you for the information, the percentage limit for cash advance was not something I was familiar with.

Call Chase, and they can tell you the exact amount of the daily cash advance available for your card. It's not a monthly maximum, so you could also try to get the same again, a few days later (I've not tried this, but have read that it's possible). Again, I wouldn't do any cash advances unless I really needed to, and only if I've pre-loaded a positive balance on the card.

If you get this to work (multiple days, maximum daily cash advance limits), share your successes with the community!

Does anyone know what the reconsideration number is for the Canadian Chase? Should I call the general Canadian number or try the American reconsideration numbers?

I think it's the same generic number as the # in the back
At least I think that's whom I called when I tried to re-activate my canceled card


By the way, Marriott devaluation (category changes) starts tomorrow, so book TODAY if you can

Is there a list of which properties will change categories?

Someone also made it into an Excel for sorting/filtering

Soon these category hikes are going to make it impossible for me to redeem my cat 5 freebie every year with this card. There's really only one hotel I frequent I can still use this at (and it JUST got upped to a 5). Chase is going to have to up the ante in order for me to keep this card...

Hello!

Just wondering how if anyone has any recent experiences with the Marriott card's churnability for Canadian market?

I closed my account end of Dec 2014 to early Jan 2015.

Thanks!

I closed my last account at the end of 2013 (can't remember exactly when... maybe Dec?) and just applied again last month, got approved. 14-15 months apart is probably not really "churning" but at any rate, I did manage to get another one. Even with the devaluations, this is still a good card with an appealing signup bonus.

Did you get the sign up bonus points credited to the same marriott rewards account?

I did provide the same MR number as before and had no problems, although strangely I see no transactions have posted to the account despite the fact that I used card several times last week (so no sign up bonus points credited as yet).

Statement cut on 10th/11th and post to account on 18th every month. I believed Chase Canada has it the same for everyone.

I churned last Fall after having dropped the card about 4 months earlier. Got 50,000 new points, no first year fee, but not the free night credit.
