that is what I saw quoted by Dan, but when I went to the app pg: https://creditcards.chase.com/credit-cards/marriott-credit-cards.aspx
it says:ANNUAL FREE NIGHT STAY*
You'll receive a free night stay in a category 1-5 hotel each year after your account anniversary.
which sounds like it is only after a year of having the card- is that not true?

My signup bonus was a category 1-4 and, 80,000 miles after 5k spend... The category 1-5 is the anniversary night. My cat 1-4 came within 2days

Might as well open another account so then you don't have to worry about it

So in ur MO bank account do u have any other activity than depositing MOs and transferring funds? Isn't having a bank account with mostly MO activity gonna raise a few eyebrows?

Yes, I have other activity. I would guess that it usually would, but supposedly there are some banks that don't pay attention to this stuff.

What is the best valued hotel currency? I'm looking for ways to get free lodging when I do road trips/flights to random states, and I don't need anything fancy - just the basics. So what's the best points/miles currency for getting the most stays?

Ty for the advice it's greatly appreciated. I deposited my first MO today and I made it out alive

One more noob question, u mentioned depositing via ATM. Do you enter the MO as a check deposit, or does your ATM have a specific button for MO deposits?

Like a check. Some banks also take it with their mobile deposits as a check.

Several on each account is fine, 99 might be asking for an f/r.

How long for it to arrive? You can ask for it to be rushed. That should be able to arrive within 1-2 days.

Thanks again.
What about an impact on credit report, is there any impact when adding myself as an AU once or twice on each account?

in general, does it make a difference what name you put in the billing address on amazon best buy ect ( i.e. does it have to be the name on the actual cc?) . i know the zip code and actual address is important. I noticed on paypal i was able to add my wifes account and use it without even putting in a name...
