50,000 points after spending $1,000 in 3 months:
http://www.dansdeals.com/go/marriott1/

Users are reporting that Chase (ask via SM) will agree to match the 70k offer (or even 80k, apparently) if you spend $3,000.

Once you get the anniversary Category 1-5 certificate, it stays in your account, even if you cancel your card and don't pay the AF.

Didn't get it yet, getting it the end of July, so you are sure it will be fora year?
All I know is what the rep told me that I quoted above.
Reports up thread of them giving a hard time on a cancelled card.
+1 Officially, they wouldn't extend it for me because the card was cancelled (night was already expired by the time I called up to extend). After a few calls (and long ones at it), I found a manager that was willing to manually make a note in my account that even though it wasn't extended, they should give me an extra 6 months to use it. I would definitely say YMMV with that.

My free night (post cancelled card) was set to expire on Monday (already had request to extend denied), but when I checked the acct on Monday, it was already gone. I sent a long email to Marriott, and got a response which included this tidbit:

Quote
A request by Marriott Rewards on your behalf to replace the certificate has been declined by Chase.

I wish they had downgrades to non-annual fee cards because it's not worth me paying the AF.

The anniversary night is worth the AF. Same with the IHG card also from Chase.

Nevertheless, I closed my Marriott (yes, after using anniversary night, plus getting retention offer, plus getting AF back) NOT because I wanted the AF back so much but because I am a big believer now in not having too many cards open with Chase. Marriott is not a card that I put regular spend on so I got rid of it. Next time they have an 80k sign-up bonus, maybe I'll get one for my wife. Just my two cents.

If you don't want so many cards with chase because of the new "5 cards in 2 years" rule, then I think it doesn't matter whether you close the chase cards. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think it's having 5 cards open within two years, not 5 'open' cards within 2 years...  What is the correct info??

Literally 2 posts above this ;)

I would definitely say YMMV with that.

And the original story - a few posts above that one:

Wow! First call and rep didn't want to help. HUCA and rep didn't want to help, manager didn't want to help, but 2nd level manager DID help!!! He couldn't extend the certificate bc - as the reps had said - it comes from Chase, but he was able to notate my account that I can use the cert for an additional 6 months. Sweet! bh

It's 70k now and you can always SM to match for 80k.

A rep told me that very recently it moved up from 6 months to 1 year. But if you got yours when it had a 6 month expiration, it's grandfathered into that expiration and won't get bumped up to a year.
I got it today. I can confirm it's a year.

Just wondering if, given Marriott's use policies and the AF, its worth getting this card. Thoughts?

I was referring to the low value of Marriott's points. The currency value, as Dan calls it (if I'm understanding correctly), is low on Marriott. He far prefers SPG. FWIW, I agree the SPG is far more valuable. The problem is there are far fewer SPG hotels and they're frequently not convenient to where I have to to travel.

If you are looking for a card for everyday spend then I wouldn't get the marriott card. if you just want the signup bonus the card could become worth it.

Hence SPG gives you 25k signup bonus and Marriott 80k.
So just taking the signup bonus in consideration not everyday spend like 12HRS says
If you are looking for a card for everyday spend then I wouldn't get the marriott card. if you just want the signup bonus the card could become worth it.
25k SPG valued at a minimum redemption of 2.1 cpp is worth $525
80k Marriott valued at a minimum redemption of 1 cpp is worth $800 (even if you come down to 0.9 cpp which is very easy to find it's still @ least $700)
So just for the signup bonus Marriott is worth way more.
