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'm glad to see I'm not the only one without the 15 nights credit and the free night certificate. I'm keeping an eye on my account and my parents; nothing yet. I will post it here when it happens and hope others will too. If they give us the runaround, I'll just have to have fun with it (I always win at this game), but Chase Canada doesn't exist anymore so I don't know how well that will work. Cheers!

Yep; I did a bunch of mass Amazon.com purchases that night, to ship to a hotel for an upcoming trip, but stupidly I chose "standard shipping". Turns out only one charge made it through Visa, and the rest were delayed until their shipping date... when Amazon then tried to charge them. Arg! Wish I'd just chosen the two-day shipping, as the FX fee caused me to cancel a few orders

A couple of things:
1) You have to call to get a cheque for any credit balance. It is not sent out automatically. Mine was $72 from the annual fee refund.
2) I asked the agent about the free night certificate and she said it would be deposited at the end of May 2018.

So I did some math, this card is absolutely useless in Canada (as far as I am concerned at least, since I have a 2 points on everything with Capital One), so we are looking only at US / international purchase. You have to spend 5500$ in a year outside Canada to offset the AF. While it may be interesting for people who spend a lot outside the country not sure I will take it as a third card in my wallet. Especially when I will use a SPG Amex for everything in Marriott / Starwood hotel (in which case the 2 points per C$ worth it even with forex fees).

It's not totally useless; you get 6 lounge visits (perhaps worth $30 / each if you travel enough) and you do get a scotia point for spending (and some categories get 2 but the Scotia AMEX is better for that anyway). So agreed if you do virtually no foreign spending it's not your best choice but it's not bad as a middle of the road card. I got one.
2 Scotia Points for spending : I get 2 Capital One Aspire point on everything. For a net cost of 20$ per year. And Capital One points are way more flexible than Scotia ones (you can paid partial or total cost of any travel spending you made with points).
So for me this would be only for foreign expense which is not worth it.
But I agree, for someone without anything else who travel 2-3 times a year outside the country it may be useful.
Still not very good for domestic purchase. The Tangerine Mastercard is close in term of cash back and it's free.

Lounge visit : I have AC E50K status + Priority Pass, so I am covered.

on the other hand, Scotia only allows you to use each travel expense once. I emptied my account to partially offset a 1k charge, but now I can't redeem against it any more. Capital one allows you to do so.
I now have to go out of my way to charge some travel expense onto the Scotia again

Just received a response from Chase via the secure message service online:
Thank you for taking the time to write to us. We do not have a specific date for when your Marriott e-certificate will be applied to your account, only that it will be applied after March 15, 2018. If you have any questions concerning your e-certificate please call Marriott at 1-888-450-4442. Thank you.

Well, it's not what they wrote on their website. They say it must either been booked using Scotia travel services or if you want to book the travel yourself and credit afterward you need at least 5000 points (50$) and you must have enough point to pay for the whole cost. With Capital One I can even get credit for a public transportation ticket or a cab ride.
Now, if they don't give the correct information on their website...

EDIT: Just confirmed that you can do partial redemptions up to 12 months after travel purchase posts. This is the wording from the Scotiabank Amex gold site when I log in to my own account :'
- Alternatively, you can book travel through any travel provider on your own using your Scotia Rewards Program Card, and then redeem Scotia Rewards points towards your purchase at a later time. You have up to 12 months from the travel purchase date to take advantage of this feature. To take advantage of this option, choose ‘Apply Points to Travel’ from the Redeem Now page."
