Canadian Offer - Marriott® Rewards Premier Visa Card

Last edit by: imverge
** 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

Question approved!

Just completed an online application and was approved automatically! Nice.

What I don't get is why/how this offer is so much better than the AMEX Starwood Platinum card? It provides 15,000 SPG points and the same annual fee.

Why would any SPG member opt for the AMEX versus this card?

Or they just get both, or all of them

AmEx can generate referrals, and every dollar effectively earns 3x Marriott

Cancelled this card 6.5 months ago - i'd like to wait at least another month to be safe to reapply

Only thing is I am applying for an Amex and possibly CIBC Aventura today.....the other rule of thumb for Marriott Visa seems to be no other apps for 90 days. Does Amex Gold, CIBC and Marriott Visa pull from same bureau?

Some properties may be mis-coded.

So what's the current consensus on this: Is it possible to get the free night deposited into one's Marriott account, and then cancel the card and get the AF refunded? In the past it seems like if the AF gets charged Chase wont refund it. Thanks for your help!

For all 3 cards we have in our family, we always cancel the few days after the annual fee posted and get the fee refund and still get the free night cert a few weeks after. I am on 4th card and will do the same this summer

You can search this threads for posted made by me to get my experience on this.

JJJ - this is an impressive list! I always wonder what the reps in the credit department are thinking when they see our long lists of pulls...

I received 20k last week after completing my first spend and first statement generating. Anyone else have this happen? Did the remaining 30k show up automatically, or did you have to call? I had the card last year, and cancelled in December.

Canadian Chase Marriott Visa - Bonus Points with Starwood?

I have the Canadian Chase Marriott Visa, which gives 5x points on charges at Marriott properties. Now that Marriott and Starwood have merged, does any know if Starwood properties give 5x points for charges on this card?

Per email received on 11/15/16:

EARN 5X POINTS


You'll earn 5x points at both Marriott Rewards® and SPG® participating hotels.



Announcing an exclusive new cardmember benefit: you can now earn Marriott Rewards® points across the new Marriott portfolio of 5,700 properties in 110 countries.

Beginning on 12/1, use your Marriott Rewards® Premier Visa Card at any participating hotel in the SPG program and you'll now earn 5 points per $1 – just like you do at participating Marriott Rewards and Ritz-Carlton Rewards® hotels.

In the past, I thought the T&C were that only "new" cardholders were eligible for the bonus points.

Is that language in these terms anywhere?
I just want to avoid applying, getting the card, and being denied points.

My last card was cancelled in February, but I may try again anyway... I fear this card may soon be discontinued.
