** 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.
  • You can find List of Marriott Hotels and their Categories via below searches

Perhaps they don't call on something like the amazon.ca card. I never get an instant approval because of the fraud alert which stems from a denial letter I got from Apple finance. For some reason they reran a bunch of applications a year or so after the original application. Since I already had an account they denied the second one. I thought someone was trying to steal my identity and had the fraud alert added. Now if I want new credit they call.

The Cat 1-4 e-certificate shows up within days of application approval and can be used right away.

But if you need the MR points for a hotel booking you'll need to wait till Oct 18th, since it appears that you don't have the card in hand yet, and the deadline for Sept 18th points postings was to make a purchase and have it posted by today, the 11th of the month. See the notes in the Wiki section at top of this page.

I haven't churned the Marriott Visa card (yet) and just renewed for the third year.

This time the e-certificate shows an expiry of September 2016 rather than the usual six month deadline (February 2016 for me). Twelve months certainly works better for me. DH's account shows the same.

But it still shows
E-Certificate must be redeemed within 6 months from date of issue
in the T&C.

Does anyone know if it is safe to wait more than 6 months?

I saw the same expiry date with my e-cert, so decided to test it - our plans for next summer include 2 nights in Barcelona, so reserved a night in July at the AC Hotel Som with my cert. It took the reservation no problem. We'll see if anything happens to the reservation past the 6-month threshold.

I did notice that, and I am not in such a hurry. Thanks all the same for the reminder.

Yes, 50k points after first purchase in September, 2015. No minimum spend required. But the points don't hit your Marriott account until the 18th of the month after your first statement close (I believe statement close is around the 12th of the month) after your first purchase.

Have e-certificates ever been taken away if a card is cancelled? I received the anniversary certificate and decided to cancel the card.

I didn't get instant approval.

Does it usually take awhile to hear back? I used the link that was posted.
