For this month’s list, there were only really changes to the RBC offers, which extended the expiry of their promotions.
Travelling with your family is a truly special experience. Especially if you’re already an avid traveller, you’re sure to be keen to show your children all the wonder the world has to offer. It can be a great chance for them to develop and grow, and for you to grow stronger as a family.
Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) is looking to complete a mega deal by purchasing HSBC Canada, who has 130 branches and 4,200 full time employees in Canada servicing some 780,000 customers. This massive deal can come out to $13.5 billion CAD. There are going to be a lot of hurdles along the way before this gets finalized. But if it has been announced in the news, it usually means that it is moving along.
For this month, you will notice that all the current offers run well into 2023, aside from Brim Financial. All previous offers that were scheduled to expire in 2022 where slightly modified and extended into 2023.
Limited Time First Year Fee Waived Offers
This year started out strong with all-time high sign up bonuses from various credit card issuers. Unfortunately, it is starting to look like we are closing out the year on a low note. Earlier today, we published a post regarding the end of the MBNA Alaska Airlines cards. Now we are writing a separate post on one of my personal favourites, MBNA Best Western MasterCard, who is also coming to an end.
Yikes! Another one bites the dust. Most of you probably already heard about this, so today, now that the dust has settled a bit, I will chime in my 2 cents on what happened.
Before I continued, just know that if you are an existing MBNA Alaska Airlines MasterCard holder, you are still safe. Unfortunately, MBNA has decided to discontinued their MBNA co-branded Alaska Airlines cards.
Air Canada’s Aeroplan program has jumped on the the Black Friday bonus points promotional period. Below are some of the best offers to watch out for. We included what time frame each offer runs for, as there are different dates to keep in mind.
For this month, there were quite a few changes relatively speaking. First of all, most of the previous month expiring offers were extended by a few months longer. The BMO Business and Tangerine offers will be coming to an end before it makes it to the next monthly list. Also, we added the Rogers Connections card in the permanent offers section.
RBC is offering a 30% transfer bonus to British Airways’ Executive Club, which is the same offer from just over a year ago. Conversion bonuses are an amazing way to boost your accounts without any extra cost or effort (aside from having the points readily available).
BMO preemptively extended the deadline of their personal card offers until the summer of 2023.
HSBC extended their offers to the end of February 2023.
Scotiabank extended their offers and increased some sign up bonuses.
TD changed up their TD First Class offer, as well as increased its annual fee.
RBC extended their offers throughout end of fall and into the beginning of 2023. The only card that will not make it to next month’s list is the RBC Cathay Pacific offer. Furthermore, two new RBC offers (Ion cards) have been added to the list.
