UPDATE (APRIL 7, 2022) – Name change of credit card
The cash back credit card industry has really seen a surge in competition over the past 3 years. Neo Financial offers a very unconventional card option that is worth a look. The details may be difficult to find, but we will share our strategy behind it.
Today we feature Julien Brault, the CEO of Hardbacon, who created a bilingual App that offers a credit card comparison App. We integrated the French version of their tool on our website for readers to use. So enjoy the functionality! Thank you Julien for taking the time to answer our questions today.
1) Please tell us about yourself and your role with Hardbacon
Today we feature Valerie Durand from the Air Canada Foundation, who will share with us a points matching program for the Air Canada Foundation’s Hospital Transportation Program. Health care has always been a soft spot for us at Pointshogger, so thank you Air Canada Foundation for working on this initiative!
1) Please tell us about yourself and your role with Aeroplan.
My name is Valerie Durand and I’m a spokesperson for the Air Canada Foundation. I’m responsible for our corporate social responsibility portfolio at Air Canada.
For this month, one different change is that the Brim card pushed its deadline to December 31, 2021. What is different than before is that they would extend their promotion period by 1 month at a time only. This time, they pushed it by 2 months.
Effective today, Aeroplan members can now earn points for making purchases at LCBO. It is a sad day for Air Miles, who had their partnership terminated with each other. But when one door closes, another one opens, this time for Air Canada.
Scotiabank offers a very underrated travel credit card called the Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite Card. Today, we are going to post a detailed review of some of the features of the cards and why I find it an underrated travel credit card.
Furthermore, there is a current promotion that expires in 5 days, so if you are looking to sign up for the card, now is as good a time as any!
This is the last month for the record high 15% cash back offer with Tangerine’s 2 cards: Tangerine Money-Back Credit Card and Tangerine World MasterCard. Now the 10% cash back offers with Scotiabank and BMO seem less significant, but they are also expiring this month as well.
Keep in mind that we still have the Top Cash Back Credit Cards page, which includes permanent and temporary offers if you wish to see a more complete list of cards, not just cards that offer at least 10% cash back.
Back in March of 2021, Starbucks and Air Canada’s frequent flyer program, Aeroplan announced its partnership.
They are currently offering an unlimited 70 Aeroplan bonus points opportunity for every $20 (before tax) spent at Canadian Starbucks airport locations.
Keep in mind that there is also the 50% bonus Aeroplan points for every $1 spent using TD co-branded Aeroplan credit cards until February 14, 2022.
Effective today, November 8, 2021, Canadians can travel more freely across the U.S. land border. Granted there are some conditions to keep in mind.
Conditions to Cross the U.S. Border
Over the past 19 months, (since March 2020), the United States has only allowed non-essential travel into their country from the Canadian land border crossings.
For this month’s list, most of the BMO promotions that expired last month were pushed to December of 2022. While the RBC and a couple of Scotiabank promotions are set to expire this month.
