It is finally here! Amazon is offering a Canadian co-branded card again. It is a long time coming since the discontinuation of the Chase co-branded Amazon card.HighlightsThe card is offered by MBNA and is being called the Amazon.ca Rewards MasterCard. Below are the highlights of the card:
Another month, another list. This month’s list is very similar to last months. The main difference is the addition of the TD Cash Back Visa Infinite Card, which was previously on the monthly list, but dropped off. Keep in mind that we also have an going Top Cash Back Credit Cards page which consists of permanent and temporary offers, while this post focuses on temporary offers only. I have broken down the temporary offers into two categories.
A few minor changes, primarily to TD’s portfolio. The majority of the other cards expire at the end of the month or in October. So if there is a product that you have been contemplating, watch out for the month end deadline. Featured CardThe TD First Class Travel Visa Infinite Card extended its 80,000 sign up bonus and first year fee waived offer, so they continue to be the featured card of the month.
It has been more than 2 years since I last updated this post, so I thought it was due for an update as there are quite a few changes. Canada and Mexico have continued to strength their relationship as they offer more direct flights between each country. Essentially by-passing the United States. This post focuses on Mexico’s larger airline Aeroméxico, which offers a frequent flyer program called Club Premier.This post focuses on Aeroméxico and Club Premier from a Canadian perspective.
All the major TD promotions will be expiring (June 2, 2019) before the next monthly list comes out. Personally, I doubt that they will extend the promotions, they may be offering something else. So if you have been thinking about one of their cards, I would go for it sooner rather than later. I personally signed up for the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card as I could use an Aeroplan restock.
RBC is once again offering a 30% transfer bonus when converting Avion points British Airways’ Executive Club. Between May 22, 2019 and June 30, 2019, you can earn 1.3 Avios for every RBC Rewards point converted. There is a 10,000 RBC Rewards points minimum requirement. But it is increments of 1 point thereafter. So 10,000 points will get you 13,000 Avios (instead of 10,000).
I was waiting to see what VIA Rail is going to offer this summer. Looks like the sale is out!Note that the discounts are offered between May 22 and June 2, 2019, but the travel period varies depending on the promotion.I would pay close attention to the $15 kids summer offer!
A few days ago, Air Canada and Air Transat announced that they are in exclusive negotiations for Air Canada to buyout Air Transat.
I’m somewhat torn by this announcement. So I’ll share my pros and cons regarding this deal.
It is no secret that Air Miles has been quite unpopular lately, due to their continued devaluation of reward redemptions and no increase in earning ratios (neither with its credit cards cobranded cards, nor with its partners). That being said, they do have a valuable partnership with LCBO, Ontario’s liquor store. One devaluation that has no occurred (I’m assuming “yet”) is the cash miles options, where you can redeem 95 Air Miles for $10 towards your next LCBO purchase. They now made it easier to redeem the $10 voucher with its new eVoucher option.
Keep in mind that we also have an going Top Cash Back Credit Cards page which consists of permanent and temporary offers, while this post focuses on temporary offers only. I have broken down the temporary offers into two categories. But first, let’s continue with our newest theme of adding a featured card.Key HighlightsI know I have been mentioning the featured card in my last few posts. But I realize that sometimes, it is too difficult to just talk about one card when there is a long list. So I am going to try something different on this post. I am going to mention key highlights for this month’s list.
