August 9 Update: Chase Canada to forgive all debt owed on their Canadian Marriott & Amazon Visa cards
– RewardsCanada.ca
Early in 2018 Chase Canada completely shut down their credit card business. At the time they only had two cards left in their portfolio, their Marriott and Amazon Visa cards as the other cards they had issued previously were taken over other Canadian banks. Although Chase was no longer issuing cards here in Canada they still had cardholders who had outstanding balances from the two cards that were paying those balances off month to month.

We are unsure of how much debt it is but in all likelihood it isn’t an insane amount – rather something not much more than it costs Chase to continue to operate here. By forgiving this debt, Chase can fully exit our market and not have to worry about carrying the costs involved with their Canadian division.
