    Has anyone seen the free night cert deposited yet?

    Am I SOL? I cancelled my card before I found out about this (last week)… will I still get the anniversary cert?

      Sounds like you might not get it. Worth a call to Chase to see if they can reinstate the account for the time being, though.

    My heart just dropped. This was my secondary card after my Scotia Gold Amex. I got the letter too!
    Great to hear about the free night – I only signed up in August but already used my 3 nights free welcome bonus at an amazing Marriott in Azerbaijan! Brilliant card.
    I hope that special offer welcome bonus on the Amex SPG is true – I will definitely get another no FX credit card!

    I got a letter today from Chase. As you said Marriott Rewards gone on Mar 15. The good news is that we will get the free night. Plus prorated fees returned.

    The Chase rep told me the category 1-5 certificates will be deposited in our Marriott accounts on March 27th if our card anniversary is after March 15th.

      Sounds about right to me.

    The Chase rep told me that Marriott Visa holders will also be extended a 25,000 SPG welcome bonus promo for the AMEX Personal SPG.

      That’s an interesting development! I wonder how the application will work? And sounds like it’d come at the expense of 5,000 in (self-)referral points?

        My understanding we that it would be a special bonus for those losing the Marriott card and not from referral but we will see. Read get info wrong all the time as we know.

    Sadface. Used the card quite a bit. Hoping for some new arrivals. Rogers is a good candidate now as Mastercard FX rates (USD/CAD at least) are consistently lower then Visa.
    I was also wondering about the credit hit in the form of lowered avg age of accounts.. this was one of my older ones..

      I imagine that any negative impact would be minimal and wouldn’t be something you can’t recover from with 2-3 months of healthy credit usage. In any case, since there’s nothing anyone can do about this, I wouldn’t worry about it too much 🙂

    It was nice while it lasted. Do you know if letting Chase close your account reflects badly on a credit report?

    1. Ricky YVR

      My honest opinion is that the effect would be negligible, if any. I can’t imagine that consumers would be set up to be negatively impacted by a card issuer shutting down a program, which is something out of their control.
