Comparison of Canada and U.S. Chase Marriott Credit Cards

ByMatt March 8, 2017April 9, 2020

This idea came from a comment in my Top Credit Card Higher than Normal Sign Up Bonuses post. Thanks Jeff!

Both Canada and the United States offer their own versions of a co-branded Marriott Rewards credit card, each offered by the Chase Bank. In the U.S., there are currently 2 completely different offers to watch out for. Canada also has two offers, but I will only mention one of them, which I will explain below. Let’s start with the highlights of each credit card:

As per some feedback, I think that I continue with monthly post listing out the best current first year fee waived offers. Granted, maybe I may need another list to cover other offers that do not fall under these two categories.

Either way, you can always stay up to date on the best credit card offers in my top credit cards page on the menu bar.

First year fee waived promotions are extremely valuable. One of the biggest deterrence of signing up for a credit card is a hefty annual fee. By waiving the first year annual fee, customers can get a free trial before deciding whether they want to keep it going.

Best Credit Cards for Foreign Purchases (updated January 22, 2017)

ByMatt January 22, 2017May 11, 2022

A question that has been frequently asked. Which credit card should I use when I am abroad? Different credit card companies have their own ways of selling it. You may see a lot of advertisement about best credit card to use when travelling. However, just to make that distinction, some credit cards are great to use for travel expenses that are spent in Canadian dollars, while other credit cards are better to use on purchases that are in foreign currencies.

I have written posts ranking each financial institution, but I thought it would be fun to write a post listing the top credit card of each financial institution. I have listed the credit cards based on the most recent financial institution rankings….

Credit Card Companies that Can Take it to the Next Level

ByMatt November 30, 2016November 30, 2016

You may have already been reading my top credit card company rankings that I post every few months. The next one is coming out tomorrow. However, I did want to isolate 5 specific companies that I strongly believe that they have the potential to take their business model to the next level. I say this, because they have an opportunity to take over a larger market share because of what they have already established.

A reader asked me last time, what the purpose was of this ranking. Basically, you do what you want with the list, take it for what it is. As a consumer, this list can give you an idea on where to shift your business. For example, if you want to see some of the smaller companies survive and thrive, you will know where to move your business.

It has been a few months since I last updated this list. The reason is because there was no significant shift in the industry until now.

I decided to change up my classifications a little bit. I’ve split up the credit card companies into 4 groupings:
