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.

anyone else missing their Marriott Points for the Jan 11 statement? Jan 18th come and gone and no points in the account. 
---- added ----
never mind, look like a Marriott web site issue. I was login to my wife account, but the transaction history was still showing my own. Close out my browser and re-login and everything is good.

Just wanted to remind everyone that if you have NOT had any activity in your Marriott.com account in the past 2 years, then those points will expire, starting next week, on Feb 01, 2016.
http://www.marriott.com/marriott-rew.../expiration.mi
If you have an active Chase Marriott.com Visa, then you probably don't have to worry, as your monthly purchases have been earning points for you. We have a couple of Marriott.com accounts in our family which are due to see points vanish on Feb 1st. One is just a few thousand, so probably will let it just vaporize.
http://www.marriott.com/marriott-rew.../expiration.mi
Starting February 1, 2016, accumulated points will be removed from your account if you do not have a qualifying activity in the prior 2 years*.
The following activities do not count toward maintaining an active status in the Marriott Rewards® program:
Gifting or transferring points
Receiving points as a gift or transfer
Earning points through social media programs, such as #MRPoints

Or just pay the ten bucks to either transfer it, or pay twelve to buy 1k points and extend it for another two years

Hmm, $10 to save 2000 points? Worth it?

I think Marriott lets you transfer the necessary number of points to a spouse/partner at the time of an award booking, so that might be an option to consider vs letting it expire.

The other account has +40K, so I do need to save them from sloughing off into the gutter. I could do a merge, but the no-fee spousal option (if it still exists) won't work for me as I'm not ready to book yet plus I'm not short of miles in my own account, which I believe is a requirement. But even so, this won't save the points unless I can use them ALL for a required booking, as this doesn't extend the life of any untransferred points.
So, it's either move them all for $10, or find another way to extend them, QUICK!
If anyone has done the $10 move of points, does it need to be done on a weekday, and how long does it take? Wondering what kind of lead time I will need before expiry date Feb 01, 2016, which is a Monday.

$12.50 purchase of 1k points will extend it. Even then, it doesn't update the activity date immediately..
Marriott has a shopping portal, but since points can take 2 months to post, not something to try on short notice

I'll give ShopMyWay a couple of more days to see if there's any movement, but as you mentioned, it could take 2 months to post. If no movement, I'll likely pay the $10 and transfer all the points out to another non-expiring account.

Well, that was disappointing. The $2 online purchase at Marriott's shopping portal ShopMyWay posted within 2 days to the ShopMyWay transactions page, and the points have remained in Pending state for over a week. I didn't get a chance to call Marriott till late yesterday, Feb 1st, expiration day for my points. I was going to do the $12.50 purchase of points (or $10 transfer all points out to other) not knowing if they would post in time, but the AMAZING rep said he would just extend my expiry by a few months...and it should give my ShopMyWay $2 purchase (20 points) enough time to eventually post. That is EXCELLENT customer service on Marriott's part. ^

Surprise surprise, the card showed up on Friday for my wife. I panicked a bit when I saw the previous post about not being able to register through chase directly, as I wanted to wait a few months before my wife reapplied. She had 45 days between cancellation and re-applying. So the card showed up, no night was deposited (as expected), but the 15 nights didn't arrive either. I don't remember people saying if they received the 15 extra CC nights in their Marriott account on a second application...
Somebody above mentioned that maybe the previous card was reactivated. I was a bit nervous, but still had her make the $500 worth of purchases. Yesterday I checked her Marriott account, and the 50K of points showed up.
So reapplying in this case after 45 days worked. No free cat 1-4 night, no 15 nights, but the 50K points did arrive. ^

Just to finish up this history. My wife cancelled her previous Chase MR Visa on October 8th. I planned on waiting 6 months before reapplying, but panicked when I read about not being able to register online and used the link at the top. The 50K point info showed up, and I registered her. I didn't get auto approval, but the card showed up in 2 weeks. She never received the 15 nights in the account (I knew the cert wasn't a go).

you don't need $500 minimum spending on it
Good to hear, I'll re-apply in 2 months then

Spend was in a new statement period, and the 50K points showed up with the normal 18th of the month import.
