Marriott Arrived!!

taxi818 — Mon, 21 Sep 2015 18:52:41 GMT

Well after 3 weeks since applying, My Chase Marriott finally Arrived. Made my wife Au as well so they delivered both cards in the same envelope. The guy rode up on horseback. Tied his horse up and knocked on the Door. What the hell. 3 weeks to get a card. Now i only have i think 2 months to make my spend. im gonna call them up. this is not right. Also.The card actually feels kind of heavy. Don't know why. Does not feel metal. But for sure its very heavy. does not have activation sticker either to call. wow.

It came via Pony Express?

You can try calling to see if they will extend it for you but it seems 2+ weeks is common with Marriott cards for whatever reason. I personally agree they should extend the time frame for you!

Not sure if they'd be able to extend the deadline but you can SM and see. Also, if you didn't have a Marriott Rewards account created before you applied you can't really blame them for the delay as that has been typically reported. Just sayin'

Yeah. I understand. It's only 2k spend. I can make it just have to sd everything else. Hate too since discover so generous with the apple pay.

It's 3k spend if you got the 80k points deal.

I'm hoping to get this card in '17 when my reports are clean. My GF has one and I'm pretty sure hers is metal. Could be wrong though. Congrats again on the approval!

It's a metal core card. Very thin piece of metal sandwiched between two sheets of plastic.

Can't you send a SM to them as you barely missed it and they should honor it?

Yes. But the problem with the 80k offer. The AF is not Waived. The 70k offer it was waived as well so that is what they will probably give. but i forgot what the spend was for the 70k.

Thanks. So they should at least offer me the 70k offer since it is the same as the 50k offer. But i don't think i want to pay AF for an additional 30k miles. even though the AF is $85 bucks.

Call them. Chase was able to give me IHG 80K offer and the United 50K offer I was able to get both of them. SO CALL like you said with my freedom card back in April. Can you say $200 bonuse.

I like the Marriott but it's no ritz in comparison to weight

My Marriott took 12 days to arrive, called them up at activation and asked about the 3k spend (got the 80k sign up bonus) and they said that if I have not hit the 3k spend by the 90th day to give them a call and they can extend the timeframe because they know the Marriott takes longer to arrive, hope this helps!

Congratulations on the new card OP! That's deff one on my watch list after I get my house. I know it's too late, but for future cards and for those who might be apping in the future, Chase had no problem overnighting me my Freedom and CSP at no charge. I always request the card be overnighted if there is a timed spending requirement.

Did you get a free night along with the points? (they are points, not miles, just to clarify) When I apped last December it was a free night at a category 1-4 hotel, plus 70,000 points after $2,000 spend, first year AF waived, and then a free night category 1-5 each anniversary along with the AF.
