Marriott Rewards Card

[Shaya E]

sorry if this Q was asked before; If I'm approved for a card with Elite nights before Dec will the Elite nights be credited to my 2022 count? (to renew Plat. Elite)

Yes it will.

What’s a better offer, the public 100K bonus or 75K + $300 Marriott gift card offered at checkout?

In other words, what's more useful on Marriott $300 or 25K points.
Look at the hotels you'd consider and compare the points vs. cash price.

Exactly.
I don’t have a specific redemption in mind. Asking about average market value.

In terms of market value definitely the $300 is more valuable

I received the card today and already completed the spend requirement. How soon does the 100k hit, and can I then immediately downgrade to the no AF card and have the AF refunded?

Can I apply for the marriot bold and both ink cards with one inquiry? If yes can this be done in a branch?

Sounds like too way to much red flag activity. 1) spending the sign up bonus in one day and downgrading the card right away is a recipe to be shut down from chase, but you’ll avoid paying the annual fee so if you want to do that that’s your option. 2) I might be mixing up with upgrading but I don’t know if chase lets you downgrade so fast. Either way it’s very risky and you might end up being shut out of chase for a very long time.

If you could downgrade before a year, I would wait at least 6 months if you spent your sign up bonus in one day.

I just closed my Chase Marriott Boundless in order to reapply and get the sign up bonus. It’s been many years since my last bonus. How long would you recommend that I wait before reapplying?
Thanks!

If you closed it, not downgraded, they keep it pending for a bit just in case you want it reinstated. You can call (again) to have it fully closed.

Thanks--my chase site has it as closed and I moved my credit limit to a different Chase card My credit limit on that card says 0. Is there a wait period before I apply for a 'new' card to get the sign-up bonus?

Is it still there on the website? It should disappear if it's fully closed. When I closed my Freedom Unlimited to reapply for the new bonus, it also showed as closed on the site. But in the back-end it was pending. You need to wait or call.
But once it's fully closed there is no "wait period" from closure.

thanks

1.Can I apply for the boundless (and get the Sub) if I have the Ritz card?
2.Whats Amex policy for SUB if i have a Ritz card?

[yungermanchik]

How long after you get approved for the amex business Bonvoy card, does your status get updated?
The official policy is up to 2 weeks, does anyone have any DPs?
Is there a way to expedite it? 

[Ralphie]

I have an AMEX Marriott Bonvoy card with a $95 annual fee. I don't want to pay the fee anymore so I called to try to downgrade to a no-annual fee card and the rep said that I can only transfer to another bonvoy card and that all bonvoy cards have annual fees. I also don't want to close my account. Any way around this?
