** On or before May 30th, 2018** - ALL Chase Marriott cardholders that held the card as of March 15th, 2018, will receive:
** 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.

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.

Visa is exclusive to Costco in the US, however, from what I've read online, Capital One Costco MasterCard will work in the US, because it's tied to your membership in Canada. This is not mentioned anywhere on their website, and I would suspect not many staff would know about it. But Costco MC users from Canada claim it works at the the Costcos in the US they've tried...

It does work for payment - this is what users are reporting. No other MC will work though, since it's not tied to your membership.

I signed up for the Fido card. They charge a 2.5% FOREX surcharge fee, but:
- Earn 4% cash back rewards on all purchases in a foreign currency – from international websites to anywhere you travel outside of Canada
- Plus 1.5% cash back rewards on all purchases in Canadian dollars
- No annual fee
- Get up to $50 in cash back rewards as a welcome bonus: $25 on your first purchase within 3 months of receiving your card. Plus $25 when you register your Fido bill for pre-authorized payments within 3 months of receiving your card.
- The rewards can be put towards a Fido bill or as a statement credit once a year. Given I use Fido it is pretty easy for me.

I liked the 15 nights/year credit. Won't make gold without it.
Any chance of some nights?

We're considering just putting the travel expenses on an AMEX MR, Aeroplan, or Alaska earning card. The 2.5% FX fee is basically neutralized by the value of the points, and the potential long haul biz class usage at well over 2.5c/$ is a bonus.

Yes, but there is a 29$/yr fee that is only waived if you pre-auth your services on Rogers/Fido. I don't plan on staying w. Rogers/Fido long term for my internet, so didn't want to go that route.
