[READER QUESTION] What is Happening with the Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Visa Card?
As you may have already noticed, it seems that you cannot apply for the Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Visa Card through the Chase Canada, because the “Apply Now” button has disappeared. However, it has been known that there are still two separate links that work with the 50,000 sign up bonus and the 30,000 sign up bonus.
There is no way to know how much longer this credit card will be around for, so if you have been thinking about it, I would go for it sooner rather than later. Here is a quick reminder of the highlights of the credit card:
- $120 annual fee (waived the first year)
- No charge for additional cardholders
- Earn 50,000 points after your first purchase
- Earn 5 points for every $1 spent at Marriott hotels
- Earn 2 points for every $1 spent on airline tickets, car rental agencies and restaurants
- Earn 1 point for every $1 spent on all other purchases
- Earn 1 Free Night Stay at a Category 1-4 location after account approval
- Earn 15 nights credit every year
- Receive 1 anniversary bonus free night stay at a Category 1-5 hotel every year
- No foreign transaction fees
This card is here to stay. Rewards Canada had an unofficial confirmation from Chase last month. http://blog.rewardscanada.ca/2015/03/mar-9-update-marriott-rewards-premier.html
Awesome. That’s good to know! Wish they would update their website though, because the “Apply Now” button is still gone.
I had the Marriott card a year ago. Can I get the 50000 points again?
Hi mike,
This is the official wording from the terms and conditions: “Bonus Points: Please allow 8 to 10 weeks after your first purchase for points to be posted to your Marriott Rewards account. This one-time bonus offer is valid only for first-time Marriott Rewards Premier Visa Cardmembers. Previous and existing Marriott Rewards Premier Visa Cardmembers are not eligible for this bonus offer. If your account is not kept open for at least 6 months, Marriott and Chase reserve the right to deduct the bonus points from your Marriott Rewards account. Purchases must not be returned or otherwise offset by a credit to your account in order to qualify.”
