** 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.

I never got a letter from Chase, though. I see now on logging in that there is a message, but that's pretty new. I also didn't see anything about a partial refund of the annual fee that was mentioned up-thread.

Yeah, so quite unimpressed with the way Marriott and Chase are handling this. For any major loyalty program like this, a credit card program is a cornerstone feature. I only got this card a year ago and now they plan to eliminate it with two months notice and no information on what, if anything, they might replace it with. " WHEN ONE DOOR CLOSES, ANOTHER DOOR OPENS NEW OPPORTUNITIES" What is that??? And the phone number to call at the end of that email is a typo.
I spoke with representatives of both Chase and Marriott Rewards and they have zilch by way of additional information.
This isn't the way to treat customers you'd like to continue to be loyal to you.

I see the same thing. No letter and no statement for January. I wonder if folks above received the letter with the statement.

Both MamaTwick and I have the card. She received a letter a couple of days before her statement (which arrived today), plus the email. I've gotten zilch.

Letter came separately from the statement. Wife did get letter, but I did not. She actively uses the card, I do not. Sibling received Amazon letter the same day. Perhaps that's the difference?

I first got an SPG Visa or Mastercard - I don't remember. They kept getting discontinued, but I ended up with a brilliant MBNA Mastercard with (effectively) unlimited, easy to get 2% cash back, no fee. Everything was always done with lots of notice and with better cards as replacement. SPG Amex doesn't meet that (except for the signup bonus, perhaps).

Update: After writing the above (which is true), I realized that the reason for getting this card is for the foreign exchange benefit, which is 4% in either case. I wouldn't put any Canadian purchases on it because there are better card options for that. However, I expect to be with Rogers for the foreseeable future, so the $29 fee is irrelevant to me.
