** 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.

This is my 2nd card. First one was cancelled about a year ago. Is that a hard fact that free night is only given to first timers or is it the case of some get it and some don't? I wonder if there is anyway to find out if the free night is pending. When I called the agent didn't seem to know.

If you're one of the lucky ones then it would've been added to your Marriott account within a day or two after the new card was approved, well before the card is even received and activated. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like you will get it.

I cancelled my card after receiving the anniversary bonus and had the annual fee reversed. The certificate was not removed.

So here is my experience with re-applying for the card:
1- Cancelled card after annual fees posted. Called Chase to cancel and they reversed the fee. That got me the cat 1-5 certificate that was not removed after the cancellation
2- Reapplied 2 months after cancellation
3- 50,000 points posted in my account with no cat 1-4 certificate

Wow ... too bad jerryhung the link is dead.

But I notice that if you login to your Marriott.com account, and go to Promotions, the link is still there for you off the Marriott site, and that link still works.

First time I got declined. 2 different agents claimed it is due to too soon after account closing (its been 4 months). Thought they weren't really policing that but maybe I just called at a bad time :P

No biggie. Went and took up MBNA's offer on the BW card promo instead. Will try Chase again in 3 months!

I wonder if the link in this post is still working for 50K? (linked from Milesbuzz: Canada thread)

10 nights at a Marriott (although I think there might be promos to accelerate this). The credit card also gets you elite membership. I'm not sure if the status lasts until you can get the next card.

Edit: You might be able to ask to do a Gold status challenge, where you do 6 stays in 3 months to get Gold.

Edit2: If you book a meeting at a marriott, that's enough for elite status. Some are as low as $75-100 USD.

That's what I'm wondering about, I cancelled a few months ago. I'm still showing as Silver status with the Chase offer, though.

I'm trying to decide if I should expedite the next application and do it right away? Or does status last for the rest of the calendar year in which case I could apply in the fall (which would be ideal for me)?
