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.

IME, the night credits post quite quickly - maybe 1/2 weeks after the CC application was accepted. That said, with rollover nights, you might be better getting them this year, as they would simply rollover to next year, then you would get another night credit on your CC anniversary date. To put in practical terms: say you're at 77 nights this year - 15 bonus nights would put your at 92 nights, 17 of which would rollover. You would then have your bonus nights post next November, meaning that would give you a total of 32 nights for next year without any stays.

I applied, was approved on line and awaiting the card. Will the package have my Marriott number included or do I call Marriott for it?

Thanks for the info, and good suggestion on the rollover nights. I'm below 50 nights, so won't have any rollover nights even with the bonus 15, so getting 15 nights in 2015 really won't do anything for me. If they typically post quicker than published, sounds like I'm best off waiting until later in December or January to apply to get the nights posted in early 2016.
Bottom line: unless those 15 nights get you to exactly the nights required for an elite level, they will rollover.

You get rollover nights over the elite level achieved. Thus, if you have 30 nights, you will be Silver Elite which requires 10 nights, and 20 nights will rollover.

Last year I dropped down from Gold to Silver as I only had ~34 nights. I got Silver status, but the extra 24 nights above the Silver requirement didn't count as rollover night as I'd dropped a status level, so the rollover nights only count if you're maintaining or increasing your status level.
This year, I stayed at Starwood properties most of the earlier part of the year, but was offered a status challenge this Fall to earn back Gold status at a lower number of nights. So I'll get Gold status, but won't be over the 50 nights, even with the 15 credit card nights.
So in my case, which is a bit unusual, the 15 nights wouldn't roll over, and wouldn't help me this year.

I wonder if this card is going to change soon in light of Marriott's takeover of Starwood? Should be interesting to see what happens in the upcoming months...

Soon as in 1-3 years? Or Soon as in 1-4 months? If the later, then no, nothing will change. Why speculate when the deal hasn't even closed? It's the SPG Amex that would probably be more at risk of changes in the future, if the deal goes through.

Whatever ends up happening, I think you're right that the SPG Amex will be changing...maybe even kiboshed - which would be sad...

Spouse had this card and every time we tried to use for a foreign currency transaction, even at a Marriott hotel, it automatically blocked the card, even if we notified them that we were traveling. The benefit of no FX fees was nice in principle, but their fraud detection practices were absolutely useless.

Interesting. Chase Canada was completely useless IMO, so this could be an upgrade if they keep the card.

Agreed - and I'll add to that: I've had them block my card when I shopped at stores that they considered 'high risk' for fraud - like GameStop. That was really stupid. Plus, I called them up once to dispute a charge that was just a duplicate done in error (reputable company, but I couldn't reach the company to get it investigated and reversed) and they wanted to transfer me to the fraud dept. and cancel my card and issue me a new one. I'm like: "ummm....this isn't fraud. it's just a mistake by a reputable company that needs to be resolved and I can't reach them". Then the guy in the credit dept. gets into a shouting match with me because he's like, "that's how it works here". Great customer service! Buh-bye! ^

That surprised me, especially for a card matched to both a hotel, and that pushes their "No FX Fee" policy. You can't even note your travel plans using the online interface.
I'd love for some improvements to their system!
