I previously wrote a post about the National Bank World Elite MasterCard. Since then, there have been a few slight changes. I will also provide a more in-depth analysis of its benefits. This is actually National Bank’s top credit card to choose from. There is actually a lot of value to be had from this credit card.
The beginning of January started off pretty week, and things started to pick up as the month went on. Below are the top current higher than normal credit card sign up bonus offers to watch out for. As a result, February’s list looks a lot more promising with a few more choices.
Royal Bank of Canada’s Avion (or RBC Rewards) program is once again offering a 25% transfer bonus to WestJet Rewards. In the past, we have seen this promotion fluctuate with either a 20% or 25% bonus for the transfer. The past few times have been 20%, so I’m glad to see the 25% back.
This is not going to be an easy post to write, but I did want to try to pin each financial institution against each other to see how they fair. This is going to be a very subjective post where I am going to rank each each company based on their overall credit card portfolio. I am also going to list out some of the top credit cards offered by each institution.
I received an email yesterday from an older friend, who is actually retired, asking me for money to pay the immigration officials in Turkey. I trust my friend, since it was actually his email that he was using his nickname in the email, so I really thought it was him. Turns out that his email account was hacked.
Every year, hotels change the number of points required for a reward night for a certain group of hotels that need the adjustments. IHG Rewards is changing the point redemption amounts for approximately 400 hotels, effective February 17, 2016. Here is the full list.
People often ask how others are able to accrue so many miles and points so quickly without flying much. One of the ways to do it is by credit card churning.
I have been very blessed all my life to have had the opportunity to travel to many places around the world. It may not be an extensive list compared to many people, but here is the list of countries (24) that I have been to: Australia, Austria, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Cayman Islands, Czech Republic, Dominica, France, Grenada, Hungary, Isla Roatan, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Monaco, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, Trinidad and Tobago, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States of America.
You probably already noticed by now that I post about the PointsBreak promotion from IHG Rewards a day after it is actually released. The reason I do not post about the preview list is to ensure that the list is finalized that officially available to everyone. Feel free to check out the other Bloggers on BoardingArea if you want to catch the preview list ahead of time.
I have previously written a post about The Importance of Diversification, but I feel that I am due for an update on this discussion. The temptation is to pool all our miles and points into one program, especially if we do not have many means to earn a lot of points and the desire to accumulate more miles or points into one program so that we can have a more decent reward redemption.
