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.

How many cards can one person hold simultaneously?
(I'm thinking like AS MBNA card or TD AE Visa.

The travel blogs today are reporting that the US Marriott Visa is now giving 5x points when used at SPG properties. Anyone know if Chase plans to follow suit on the Canadian card?

I admit to not paying terribly close attention to the conversation, but I recall there being questions about how competitive Chase's forex rates are, and whether you really are saving 2.5% on transactions when you consider the bigger picture.
Do Chase cards really save you 2.5% vs. other cards?

I used it in HK for a big purchase and I had the option to bill in HK dollars or Canadian dollars. The Canadian dollar number was $200 higher than what xe.com was showing me, so I picked HK dollars.
It actually billed me about $5 less than the xe.com rate I was looking at when I made the purchase. No 2.5% etc. The xe.com rate is usually what the banks get, so I can say I was really impressed.
When I use my AMEX plat for foreign purchases I can usually expect a horrible rate plus the 2.5%.
It really sucks that Canada has so few cards that don't charge the foreign exchange 2.5% fee...

Their rate is really really good.

Can't confirm if I'm getting FYF or not, but I got it last time and I'd fully expect to receive it this time too (no statement received yet and I haven't set up online access either).

The 1:3 ratio is fantastic, though. And I would like a way to earn my Marriott points faster (although I do earn 2x points with my Marriott Visa as aside from foreign txns, I use it almost exclusively for restaurant spends).
One of my challenges with SPG is that I'm too tempted to transfer to Avios, because of the transfer bonus! I've done that with all of my SPG Amex churns.
I'll definitely do a business churn at some point and then see how it goes. Whatever the case, it's nice to have options! It's all good!

What's the best churning strategy for this card after approval ?
- Wait 12 months for anniversary night to post and cancel right away (request refund of 2nd year annual fee if it posted before anniversary night certificate). Then wait 3-6 months to reapply
- Cancel as soon as 50K welcome bonus is received then wait 3-6 months to reapply

Last card cancelled Feb. 16. Signed up in Oct. 16 via the link in my Marriott Rewards online account (I'm silver from having the card recently), was approved instantly. I just saw the 50K bonus points get dropped into my account.
Can't confirm if I'm getting FYF or not, but I got it last time and I'd fully expect to receive it this time too (no statement received yet and I haven't set up online access either).

Wait, did you mean to say you signed up on Sept 16?

I meant October 2016, not three days ago
Come to think of it, I think I may have signed up end of September and received the card in October, I can't recall for certain. But I definitely got the card in my grubby little hands this month and I just got the points (as did the Mrs., who did everything on the same timelines). Looking forward to blowing them in SAN

I doubt that this will be the case because the Canadian SPG Amex gives only 1 SPG point per $1 spend, regardless if it is at a Starwood Property.
