[ANALYSIS] Delta Air Lines SkyMiles
Delta Air Lines has a rewards program called SkyMiles, which is a very underrated program for Canadians, so I am going to point out all the positives.

Matt has been an avid points collector since 1992 (an elementary school student), when his dad signed up for the new (at the time) Air Miles program. Since then, Matt took a keen interest in learning how the miles and points world works. He quickly found out that there is a lot of value in leveraging miles and points to fund his passion for travelling.
[ANALYSIS] Best Buy Reward Zone
Black Friday may have passed in the United States, but Boxing Day is coming up in Canada and Best Buy is definitely one of the stores that customers like to go on that day. So it would only be fitting to write about the Best Buy Reward Zone program.
We previously gave a warning about the Chase Best Buy Reward Zone Visa about how they are the only Chase Canada credit card that does not waive its foreign transaction fee (granted there is no annual fee on this credit card). However, it would also be useful to break down the program to see how much value you can get.

[TRAIN] Traveling on VIA Rail Business Class
I’ve sat in my fair share of Business Class and let me tell you right away that after experiencing it for the very first time, I never wanted to go back to Economy. You really do get a little spoiled…
[HOTEL REVIEW] InterContinental Toronto Centre (Toronto, Ontario)

Devaluation with Capital One Aspire Cash Platinum MasterCard
Many of us were quite unhappy when the MBNA Smart Cash Platinum Plus MasterCard dropped their gas and groceries return from 3% to 2%. Now, Capital One is following MBNA’s lead. Capital One Canada has been one of my favourite institutions, namely because of the Capital One Aspire Travel World MasterCard. That is probably one of my favourite cards.

[ANALYSIS] HSBC Premier World MasterCard
I do not have a bank with HSBC, but I was curious to see what type of credit cards choices they have so I did a little research. Unfortunately, my first impression was confusion. The section on credit cards is so confusing that I am not able to quickly distinguish the differences between each credit card. After further digging, I learn that you cannot even apply for a credit card online, you have to do it in person. The more obstacles they create, the less interested customers will be in their products.
