Buying MRPs with Chase Marriott VISA?
I have searched endlessly for the last hour all over the web and FT. I haven't found anything, and if the solution is obvious, please forgive my ignorance on the subject.
If I buy 50,000 MRP with my Chase Marriott VISA, will I get 5x points for that purchase?
Thanks.
ETA: also asked in the Chase card thread. Sorry, didn't see that thread until after I posted...

I would be curious about this as well. Here is the link to buy them. Not sure if it would come through on your credit card as a marriott charge. Best case scenario I imagine if you bought 50k for $625 you would just get the extra $625x5 for using your marriott card.

They don't code as the 5X. I purchased 1000 points in January as a test. Here is how it was listed on my statement. I only received the 1X for normal purchases.
MARRIOTT BY POINTS POINTS.COM IL $12.50
Points.com is the merchant not Marriott.
