Everyone has their own version of the top 10 signs that you are truly into miles and points, so today, I will write up my own version.

Today, we start with the comparison between the more popular co-branded Aeroplan cards: American Express AeroplanPlus Gold, CIBC Aerogold Visa Infinite Card and TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card. Including business versions, there are over 10 different types of co-branded Aeroplan cards. So I will focus on comparing similar level cards and then you can cross reference them in the future.
Fairness Towards Loyalty Programs
I was re-reading a post that I wrote exactly 7 months ago entitled: 12 Aeroplan Myths and My Commentary. When I look back now, I felt like I was being too tough on Aeroplan. So it got me thinking about how my readers thoughts of my commentaries.
