** 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.

60 nights a year in the US in Marriott hotels is why it's the preferred card!

So I reapplied for this card after cancelling it around 7 months ago. I didn't get approved online, but when I called in, they approved me over the phone no issue and they even noticed I had the card before.

So is this pretty much guaranteed to result in no free night, no bonus points, and no FYF - or is it just no free night?

Thanks.

In any event, based on most people's recent (past year) reports, you should get them all, except the Cat-4 e-certificate.

Thanks. I'll report back once I know.

I thought that asking the rep on the phone would get them to for sure takeaway more than they should have.

Maybe I outsmarted myself. I also ended up using a link from the Marriott Hotel web site (after you login) vs the link available at the top of this page.

I was hoping to deliberately use a different code, but I guess maybe that flagged me?

OUCH...maybe better to call Chase and confirm after all. Those offers that pop up after you logout are usually for the US Chase card offers. But you say you saw the offer upon login? Did you screenshot it during your application?

Elite Members
Get 50,000 Bonus Points and MORE

This link is clearly to the Canadian Chase site.

I called them again - but they really didn't answer my questions. I will just wait it out.

80k plus 7.5 if you add an authorized user, but first year is not waived (85 USD) and there's no category 4 night either.

Correct.

On the front page of marriott.com - you see the 80k one. But if you follow the steps I outline above, it will take you to the 50k Canadian on on Marriott.com.

Now I guess I'll get the card next week, use it and report back mid March on what happened.

So far though - no free eCert 1-4.

Another related question... For those that have churned this card in Canada - is there a way to use the same Chase online account?

It looks like I can add a credit card to my old account by clicking "Register a card". Is that what I think it is?

Can I remove the card that is cancelled?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I mentioned this recently, but for a data point, we received bonus points and FYF. We did not receive the free night nor the 15 night credit.

It took 24 days for my wife to receive her card... And that was with instant approval.
