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.

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.

With effect from May 23, 2018, the rebate on foreign currency charges will be reduced to 3% (from 4%) and other Canadian $ charges to 1.25% (from 1.5%) except 2% on Rogers product. The FX fee remains at 2.5%.
This is very disappointing.

It's hidden in the fine print, but you only get 2 SPG per CAD for hotel stays until July 31, 2018. Then you just get the base 1 SPG (converts to 3 Marriott) per CAD. Worse than the Chase Visa at 5 Marriott points per USD.

That promotion has been updated multiple times as is. Original end date was November 2017. Expect it to be a fixture until the end of the SPG program

Wow that was quick. I was planning to do a last online purchase today, I guess I will have to use my new Fido Mastercard before it becomes useless in May...

Scotiabank is now accepting applications for their new Passport Visa Infinite card with 0% FX fee. It might be a good replacement for those of you still in mourning over the recent closure of the MR Visa. Applied for mine and have been told I can pick it up at my branch in less than a week!

I wouldn't want to have bought any merchandise on this card in the event that I gotta return it after March 15.

People can go to the Home Trust visa, or Brim, or Scotia Passport visa, for no FX.
There was Rogers and Fido MC that gave 4% back on foreign purchase. But that's changing to make it not worthwhile.
I'm leaning toward the Scotia passport visa, as the bonus will be more than the AF.
But now that Scotia is into no FX, other banks may follow with something to be competitive.

I also would rather not deal with HSBC, the bank of the gangsters and terrorists. (There's a Netflix episode in "Dirty Money" with more details)

Yes, I also applied for a HSBC Premier World Elite MC to replace my Marriott Visa. I think the features are pretty good for a "free" card if one is a HSBC Premier customer. Even if not, after deducting the $100 travel credit at $49 is still pretty attractive.
The upcoming changes to the Rogers MC are great disappointment. I probably shall not be using that card very much post May 2018.
