Is the Chase Marriott credit card going away?
The Chase Marriott Visa, which carries an excellent 50,000 Marriott point + free night certificate sign-up bonus, has sort of “disappeared” from the Chase homepage. Here’s what I mean:
Good Deal: BMO World Elite – $300 Sign-up Bonus, First Year Free
Although this isn’t as great a deal as last time (which will probably never come back!), BMO is currently offering their World Elite Mastercard with a $300 travel credit and first year free (this is not a referral). You must apply by April 10, 2015 to be eligible for this promotion.
AMEX SPG 20,000 Sign-Up Bonus is Back!
Per Canadian Kilometres, the AMEX SPG sign-up bonus is back up to 20,000 SPG Points. It used to be 21,000 with a referral, however, it was brought down to 10,000 for awhile. You can see my review of the SPG AMEX card, where I explain why it's one of my favourite cards.
