Just noticed Canada's $10 min payment, ouch at 20% APR

Is the greater of
A. $10.00

Hmm, I think that the $85 US card is the premier and that there's a lower/no AF version that you never see advertised. jsucool76 will chime in, or one could check his all-things-marriott thread (which I'll go seek out).

Yeah, as long as it's still up to date info, it's at the end of the first post.

  Yeah that's the grey one... I ran out of copypasteability (if that's a word)

From what I understand you cannot apply for the standard ($49 AF) marriott card anymore, but you may (or may not) be able to downgrade to it. No real data points I know of.

So, it comes with 80,000 bonus points for anybody? Damn, and I was feeling special when I saw that on my Chase account.
