AMEX Membership Rewards credit cards

American Express Membership Rewards Points earned with AMEX Canada can be transferred to Marriott at a 5:6 ratio. This means every 5,000 AMEX Points you transfer would give you 6,000 Marriott Bonvoy Points.

AMEX Canada is the hands down best option for earning Marriott Bonvoy Points on everyday spend outside of using Marriott's own co-branded Canada credit cards. You can maximize your points easiest by picking up the American Express Cobalt Card which earns up to the equivalent of 6X Marriott Points per $1 spent.

You can also pick up The Platinum Card or Business Platinum Card to get complimentary Marriott Bonvoy Gold Elite status which is higher than what Marriott's own credit cards offer.

Here's the list of Membership Rewards credit cards available in Canada:

Calculator Options

Year 1 or Year 2+?

Year 1 - Calculate how much you will earn in your first year of being a cardmember. Includes Intro Bonuses (if toggled on) and will use the free or reduced first year annual fees for any cards that have them.

Year 2+ - Calculate how much the card will be worth the 2nd year and onward. Automatically turns off intro bonuses and will ignore first year free/reduced annual fees.

Include Intro Bonuses?

If set to yes, intro bonuses will be included for a card's calculation ONLY IF you have met the monthly spend criteria based on what's entered into the tool.

Note: We do not have intro bonuses for all credit cards (mainly partners and popular credit cards), and we cannot calculate intro bonuses for some cards due to the complexity of some spend requirements.

Authorized Users

Some banks charge an additional fee to add family, friends, or employees to the credit card account. If you plan on adding authorized users to your credit card(s), you can enter that amount here.

Note: Some credit cards have a cap on how many authorized users you can add. While we do keep track of the fee structures, we do not keep track of caps. So be sure to check the rates and fees before applying.

Max of 100.
Calculate Foreign Transaction Fees?

Many cards will charge you a foreign transaction fee when making purchases in a foreign currency. This is typically between 2.5% and 3% for most credit cards.

If set to yes, we will calculate the estimated fee for any spend entered into the calculator that is considered foreign. This amount will appear in the calculations as well.

Note: We do not have the foreign transaction fee rates for all credit cards.
