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

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.

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.

Marriott International Signs New Co-Brand Credit Card Agreements with JPMorgan Chase and American Express | Marriott News Center
I am not sure that will apply to Canada...where did you see MR is in and SPG is out with AMEX.

Has anyone succeeded in getting anything from Amex in terms of offers if you already hold the SPG Amex card? The MR Twitter account said to call Amex, but just wondering if anyone's had any luck...

Still not sure what to do here. One of the big downsides to this is also the fact that earning star points and transferring to MR doesn't contribute to lifetime status points. The credit card spend was what would eventually put me over what I need.

I tweeted MRewards today and they confirmed that the AMEX points do not count towards lifetime, no night cert and we do not get the additional 15 nights. Doesn’t make the AMEX worth it for me. Hoping we’ll see a better option soon.

As a person who never touched the SPG AMEX before, 25k starwood goes to 75k marriott points, which is worth $120 to me. I predict I'll have more like 90k points once I meet the spend and I typically use my points at 15-20k JW marriotts within ASIA that charge $150-200US a night per room, so yeah, definitely a steal at only $120. For long term it isn't a solution as I want a card that will give me lifetime status points, which this doesn't

Not sure if the Amex SPG is the designated interim replacement card until a Marriott co-branded Amex will be offered. The correspondence from JPMC is vague except more information to come. There needs to be sufficient time for existing Canadian JPMC Marriott Visa cardholders to apply and receive the new cards before March 15, 2018.
Comparing the Amex SPG and the JPMC Marriott Visa, the Amex SPG has some good additional features but I am surely going to miss the no FX fee on the JPMC Marriott Visa. So the HSBC Premier World Elite MasterCard will be the only no FX fee credit card in Canada.

Not aware of this card.
The 1% CashBack and no annual fee are very attractive.

I've signed up for a Fido Mastercard (not an affiliate link) from Rogers Bank to replace my Marriott Visa.
This card has no annual fee, charges 2.5% on forex but gives you 4% cash back on these transactions, i.e. you end up 1.5% ahead. Rewards can be applied to transactions at any time via the website or a mobile app.
Application and card delivery were straight-forward and fast. So far, so good.

I'd say this option is dodgy, at best. They're rather new, had financial problems previously, and have buggy software. Not worth the hassle, IMO.

I too am waiting to see if the Marriott AMEX that is supposed to be coming in 2018 according to the press report in 2017 will make it to Canada. If it does, I am most likely going for it.
